The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is switched off or when there is
no longer sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver.
왘
Adjust the squelch threshold – with the transmitter switched off – to the lowest possible
setting that suppresses hissing noise.

CAUTION! Danger of hearing damage and material damage!
If you switch the squelch off or adjust the squelch threshold to a very low value, loud hissing
noise can occur in the receiver. The hissing noise can be loud enough to cause hearing damage
or overload the loudspeakers of your system!
왘
Always make sure that the squelch is switched on.
왘
Before adjusting the squelch threshold, set the volume of the headphone output (see
page 14) and the audio output level to the minimum (“
AF Out ”, see page 25).
왘
Never change the squelch threshold during a live transmission.
If you adjust the squelch threshold to a high value, the transmission range will be
reduced under adverse RF reception conditions.
