13BASIC OPERATION3 Receivingq Push [PWR] for 1 sec. to turn power ON.w Set the audio level.➥ Push [MONI ] to open the squelch.➥ Rotate the [VOL] control to adjust the audio outputlevel.➥ Push [MONI ] again to close the squelch.e Set the squelch level.➥ Rotate [SQL] fully counterclockwise in advance.➥ Rotate [SQL] clockwise until the noise just disappears.➥ When interference is received, rotate [SQL] clockwiseagain for attenuator operation. (p. 14)r Set the operating frequency. (pgs. 9, 10)t When receiving a signal on the set frequency, squelchopens and the transceiver emits audio.• “BUSY” appears and the S/RFindicator shows the relativesignal strength for the re-ceived signal.✔CONVENIENT!The squelch level can also be adjusted with[SQLYY D(MUTE)] and [ SQLZZ #(16KEY-L)]. Monitor functionThis function is used to listen to weak signals without disturb-ing the squelch setting or to open the squelch manually evenwhen mute functions such as the tone squelch are in use.➥ Push [MONI ] to openthe squelch.• “BUSY” blinks.• Push [MONI ] again tocancel the function.➥ Push [ MONI 1(ANM)] to open the squelch.• Push [MONI 1(ANM)] again to cancel the function.NOTE: When [SQL] adjustment is set too far clockwise,(12–17 o’clock position) the squelch attenuator is acti-vated. To monitor weak signals on the operating frequency,deactivate the squelch attenuator function.
