➥ Rotate [AF] control clockwise to increase, counter-
clockwise to decrease the audio output level.
➥ Rotate [RF] control clockwise to increase, counter-
clockwise to decrease the receiver sensitivity.
NOTE:
When [RF] control is adjusted CCW in FM mode,
audio output decreases then disappears. This is
normal, not a malfunction.
The squelch mutes noise output from the speaker
(closed squelch) when no signal is received.
➥ When no signal is received, rotate [SQL] control
fully counterclockwise first, then rotate [SQL] clock-
wise to the point at which the noise disappears.
• Push and hold [XFC] to open the squelch temporarily.
