Using CH9
Important: Channel 9 is reserved for
motorist assistance and for reporting
emergency information about acci-
dents, hazardous road conditions,
and so on. Always give emergency
messages priority on Channel 9.
You can instantly switch to Channel 9
at any time by pressing CH9. The
display shows
9
.
Note: Pressing CH9 disables CHAN-
NEL and SCAN.
To return to normal operation, press
CH9 again. Your CB returns to the
channel you were previously using.
Using SCAN
You can use the scan function to
scan for incoming signals. Press
SCAN. The TRC-495 starts to scan,
and the SCAN indicator lights.
The CHANNEL indicator shows the
scanned frequencies, then stops at
the incoming signal.
Note: If the signal is lost for about 3
seconds, the CB begins scanning
again.
Using NB and ANL
If you encounter noise while receiv-
ing, press NB (noise blanker) or ANL
(automatic noise limiter). The NB or
ANL indicator lights, and the noise
level should drop.
NB eliminates impulse-type noise
(like that produced by vehicle igni-
tions or engines).
ANL reduces the level of continuous
noise so it does not interfere with re-
ception.
If you still hear the noise, refer to
“Noise Reduction” for additional in-
formation.
If parts of the received signal sound
choppy, press NB or ANL again (to
the out position) to turn off the func-
tion.
