Place the WX/CB Switch in the CB position. Turn the set ON by pressing the POWER Switch. Adjust the VOLUME for a comfortable listening level. Set the Channel selector switch to the desired channel. Set the Mode Selector to desired mode for LSB, AM or USB. Adjust the VOICE LOCK control to clarify the SSB signals or to optimize AM signals. Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQUELCH control slowly clockwise, until the noise JUST disappears. (No signal should now be present. ) Leave the control at this setting. The receiver will remain quiet until a signal is actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of the weaker signals will not be heard. Select the desired channel of transmission. Set the DYNAMIKE control fully clockwise. If the channel is clear, press the push-to-talk switch on the microphone and speak in a normal voice. The S-RF meter will indicate relative power output and the modulation meter will indicate percentage of modulation as you speak into the microphone. CAUTION Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an antenna or a poorly matched antenna could cause damage to the transmitter. OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE WEATHER BAND 1. Turn the Weather Channel Selector (1-7) until you find the Weather Channel with the clearest reception. Sometimes more than one channel can be received depending on your location in the broadcast area; however, the closest broadcast to you will be the one with the clearest signal (the least static or background noise). 10 Section IV Operation (Continued) OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE WEATHER BAND continued 3.
