Buttons and Knobs
The function of the button and knob controls will vary depending on the mode of operation. The primary
functions of the button and knob controls when in the OpenSky mode of operation are listed in the
following paragraphs.
POWER ON/OFF
VOLUME KNOB
Applies power to the radio and adjusts audio volume.
Rotating the control clockwise applies power to the radio. A single alert tone (if
enabled through programming) indicates the radio is operational.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level. While adjusting the
volume, the display will momentarily indicate the volume level (i.e.

). The
volume range is from a minimum programmed level of zero

in
the display) up to 40, which is the loudest level.
