B) HOW TO USE YOUR TRANSCEIVER
1) ON/OFF ~ VOLUME
Turn on : turn VOL knob (1) clockwise. If the function KEY BEEP is active (see
menu KEY BEEP page 12), the radio emits a beep. The radio is "on".
Display briefly shows the microphone type (consult the MICROPHONE TYPE
menu page 13).
Turn Off : turn VOL knob (1) counterclockwise until radio emits click sound.
Your radio is "off".
Volume Adjustment: rotate VOL knob (1) clockwise to increase the volume.
Turn the same knob counterclockwise to reduce the sound level.
2) ASC (Automatic Squelch Control) ~ SQUELCH
Suppresses undesirable background noises when there is no communication.
Squelch does not affect neither sound nor transmission power, but allows a
considerable improvement in listening comfort.
a) ASC: AUTOMATIC SQUELCH CONTROL
Worldwide patent, a PRESIDENT exclusivity.
Turn the SQ knob (2) anti-clockwise into ASC position.
No repetitive manual adjustment and a permanent improvement between
the sensitivity and the listening comfort when ASC is active. This function can
be disconnected by turning the switch clockwise. In this case the squelch
adjustment becomes manual again.
