1.
Rotate the VOL knob to adjust the receiver's audio volume. Clockwise rotation of the
VOL knob increases the volume level.
2.
A The
VR-120D
's Squelch system allows you to mute the receiver's audio output
when no signals are being received. This reduces battery consumption, and reduces
annoying background noise.
3.
To set the squelch, turn the SQL knob fully counter-clockwise, then turn it clockwise
just past the point where background noise is silenced. Do not rotate the SQL knob
much beyond this threshold point; if you do, the receiver will not respond to weak
signals.
