Setting the Volume

Turn the volume knob clockwise to increase the speaker volume; turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.

Setting the Squelch Level

The squelch feature reduces the level of static on the speaker by filtering out the background channel noise. At the lowest squelch
level, the speaker plays all radio signals, including any noise on the channel. Setting the squelch level higher filters out channel
noise and lets only actual radio transmissions through.
