OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE

1. Be sure that power source, microphone and antenna are connected to the proper
connectors before going to the next step.
2. Turn the unit on by tuning the VOL control clockwise on your transceiver.
3. Set the VOLUME for a comfortable listening level.
4. Set MODE switch (11) to the desired mode.
5. Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQUELCH control slowly
clockwise until the noise just disappears (no signal should be present). Leave the
control at this setting. The SQUELCH is now properly adjusted. The receiver will remain
quiet until a signal is actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of
the weaker signals will not be heard.
6.. Set the CHANNEL switch to the desired channel.
7.. Set the RF gain control fully clockwise for maximum RF gain.
8.. Adjust the CLARIFIER control to clarify the SSB signals or to optimize AM/FM signals.
