SWITCHING POWER
ON/OFF
To switch
ON
your transceiver, turn the PWRNOL
control clockwise and set it at the
11
o'clock position.
Various indicators, including a receive frequency, appear
on the display. Due to the automatic squelch feature,
no
sound will be heard from the speaker until you receive a
call.
Use the same control to adjust the volume more
precisely while receiving your first call, or press
[MONI]
and adjust the PWRNOL control to set the background
noise to a comfortable level. Pressing
[MONI]
always
allows you to listen to activity
on
the selected frequency
as long
as
this key is held down.
To switch
OFF the transceiver, turn the PWRNOL
control counterclockwise until it clicks at the OFF
position.
