NOTE:
When the squelch is set properly, the speaker
will remain quiet until a signal is received. In order to
receive weak signals, do not set the squelch too high.
4. Adjust the RF gain control to the desired level. In
congested urban areas where reception interference
is the greatest, reduce the RF gain. In rural or open
country, increase the RF gain to improve the receiving
sensitivity of incoming signals.
To Transmit/To Receive
Press and hold the push-to-talk bar. Speak slowly and
clearly in a normal voice, two to three inches from the
microphone. When transmitting, the RX/TX LED will
glow red.
To Receive
- release the push-to-talk bar.
When receiving or "standing by" the RX/TX LED will
glow green.
External Speaker Operation
To connect an optional external speaker, locate the
external speaker jack on the rear of the unit and insert
the speaker plug into the jack. The radio's internal
speaker will be silenced when an external speaker
is engaged.
PA System and Optional PA Speaker Operation
To use the Public Address system feature, you must
install a PA speaker outside of the vehicle. (This speaker
is not supplied). After the speaker is installed and wires
are properly connected to the PA jack, move the switch
marked CB-PA to the PA position. At this time, CB
operation will cease. You are now ready to broadcast
through the PA system using the radio's microphone.
You can adjust the external PA output volume with the
radio's volume control knob. When finished, move the
CB-PA switch back to the CB position.
