On / Off and Receiving

is the On/Off switch. Press and hold for approx. 2 seconds, display and buttons are
illuminated. Now set the desired volume.

Set Volume

•
Turn the VR rotary knob slowly clockwise. The volume is displayed as a bar.

Set Channel

•
Press the UP/Down buttons on the front panel (or on the microphone) 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 suppress 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!
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!
Press the large PTT button on the side of the microphone (Push-To-Talk) to toggle between
receiving and transmitting:
•
Press the PTT button to transmit. TX illuminates on the LCD.
•
At the end of your message release the button to return to receiving.
Do not talk too loud into the microphone! Experience shows that most CB rookies are talking much
too loud into the microphone. Newcomers should briefly train with the PTT button: first press the
button and start talking only half a second later, since the transmitter needs a moment to turn on.
Release the button after finishing your message. Wait for the answer coming from your
counterpart! The switching time is for this device design-related, since two processors (in the
detachable control panel and in the main unit) must communicate. Your counterpart's CB radio
also needs some time to switch over and to be ready to receive.
