Turning On the Scanner and Setting the Squelch
To turn the scanner on, rotate [VOL] clockwise. Turn the knob to a comfortable
sound level.
Rotate the squelch control [SQ] clockwise until you either hear a broadcast or
noise just stops. The control is now set for strong signals. If you desire to hear a
weaker signal, turn it counter clockwise from that point until you hear background
noise once more.
