(pgs. 11–13)• When interference due to strong signals is received, push[ATT•PRIO] to turn the attenuator function ON. (p. 15)rWhen a signal is received on the set frequency, squelchopens and the receiver emits audio.• “BUSY” appears and the S-meter shows the relative signalstrength for the received signal.■ 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.➥ After pushing [MAIN] to select the desired band (left orright) as the main band, push [MONI•T/T-SCAN] for 1 sec.to open the squelch.• “BUSY” blinks.• Push [MONI•T/T-SCAN] again to cancel the function.[MONI•T/T-SCAN]Appears when receiving a signal.
