Adjusting the Volume
The Informer provides the ability to control the sound volume of tone and voice
messages heard over the speaker. You cannot adjust the alert beep volume.
To adjust the volume, press the MONITOR button to listen to the radio channel.
Then, press the

radio traffic currently being broadcast. If the MONITOR button is held down for over
