OPERATION The Model MB-R is turned on and off by the rocker switch near the lower left rear corner on the base. The volume control knob (marked VOL) adjusts speaker loudness to the level preferred by the operator. The volume control may have a built-in, on- off switch.
On the front panel a red LED lights when transmitting. The MB-R includes a transmitter timeout circuit. This protects the unit from unintended non-stop transmission and also frees the channel in the event of a “stuck-mic”. The transmit timeout will shut down the transmitter after approximately 30 seconds of continuous transmission.
