The following functions occur automatically:
¥ The radio antenna is electrically disconnected and the vehicle antenna is
connected for use.
¥ The radio internal microphone is electrically disconnected and the Vehicle
AdapterÕs mobile microphone is connected for use.
¥ The Vehicle Adapter charger is connected to the radio battery.
¥ If an external speaker is connected and the internal audio ampliÞer in the
Vehicle Adapter is selected, the Vehicle Adapter will automatically mute the
radio internal speaker and route received messages to the external speaker.
The audio level of the speaker is set by the radio volume control setting.
When using an external speaker, turn the volume control
!
up slowly to the desired audio level to avoid damage
from high audio pressures.
