Set Volume
Turn the VR rotary knob slowly clockwise. The volume is displayed as a bar.
Set Channel
Turn the channel rotary knob or press the microphone buttons (up and down buttons)
to set the desired channel.
The current channel and the country programming are displayed.
Press and hold the button to continuously cycle up or down through the channels (see
display).
Set SQ (Squelch)
Especially in FM the noise on a free channel is disturbing. You can repress this noise with
the squelch function (SQ knob), but also weak signals.
Set the signal strength for the signal to open the speaker with the SQ knob:
The further you turn the SQ knob clockwise, the stronger the signal must be to be
audible over the speaker.
Set the squelch sensitivity on a free channel:
Select a free channel with the channel selector, which has no signal display.
Carefully turn the SQ knob clockwise until the noise just disappears.
Now the speaker stays muted on a free channel, but turns on with very weak signals. The
correct squelch setting is also important for auto scan – with "open" squelch scanning is not
possible!
Use Automatic Squelch
Alternatively, your radio comes with auto squelch, which can be used instead of the manual
squelch. Here the signal threshold is automatically set. For most applications this setting is
perfectly suitable.
Press the ASQ button to activate the function. The display shows
The device changes to automatic setting and ignores the SQ knob setting.
Press the ASQ button again to deactivate the function. On the display
The device again uses the previously set manual squelch.
For CB radio the old basic principle applies: first listen, and then talk.
After selecting a channel for chatting to a partner, first listen for a moment "into the channel"
to find out if it is free! Or simply ask if the channel is free!
