5.1 Power on the radio

• Turning the unit on
To turn the unit on, simply rotate the Volume/Power knob clockwise until you hear a "click". If your radio powers on
correctly there should be an audible double beep after about one second and the display will show a message or flash the
LCD depending on settings for about one second. Then it will display a frequency or channel. If the Voice prompt is enabled,
the voice will announce "frequency mode" or "channel mode".
• Turning the unit off
Turn the Volume/Power knob counter-clock wise all the way until you hear a "click". The unit is now off.

5.2 Adjusting the volume

To turn up the volume, turn the volume/power knob clock-wise. To turn the volume down, turn the Volume/Power knob
counter-clock-wise. Be careful not to turn it too far, as you may inadvertently turn your radio off.
By using the monitor function, enabled from the [FM broadcast/Monitor] key below the PTT, you can more easily adjust
your volume by adjusting it to the un-squelched static.
