2-2 Switching On for the first time
Set the squelch control to the ‘mid-point’.
Turn on the main power switch on the rear panel of the AR-ALPHA.
Press the power switch at the top right of the front panel. Allow a couple of seconds for initializing, then
the S-meter will light. Then rotate the AF GAIN (volume) control knob to the ‘mid-point’.
Please be careful - DO NOT switch on the AR-ALPHA while wearing headphones connected to the
receiver; there may be an audible click when the unit is switched on, or the volume may be accidentally
set too high.
The AR-ALPHA will take approximately 4 ~ 5 seconds before information appears on the LCD. This is
normal, as the microprocessor of the AR-ALPHA must complete an initializing process at the beginning
of a power-on cycle.
