[. . . ] D) To install your equipment, use the cradle (1) and the self-tapping screws [2] provided (drilling diameter 3. Take care not to damage the vehicle's electrical system while drilling the dash board. E) Choose where to place the microphone support and remember that the microphone cord must stretch to the driver without interfering with the controls of the vehicle. : As the transceiver has a frontal microphone socket, it can be set into the dash board. [. . . ] Press 14) INDIC until a small triangle and CAL appear in the display. Keep the PPT switch depressed and, using 2) SWR CAL, bring the bar graph to the same level as the triangle. When you have done this, you are ready to take an SWR reading as described below. This knob is used in modes USB, LSB or CW to fine tune the reception signal in order to obtain maximum clarity. This knob can tune the received frequency about +/- 2. This control will not effect the transmitting frequency, or the frequency display, but changes only the reception frequency. Once theSWR Meter has been calibrated (as above), press 14) INDIC until SWR appears in the display. press the PTT switch on the microphone , the bar graph will show the SWR value. It should be taken from the bottom figures and should be as close to 1 as possible, a value of above 2 may damage your set (destruction of the power amplifier). Use this control to turn the unit on or off and to adjust the volume. This control is used to select the desired mode: AM, FM, LSB, USB or CW. The mode chosen must correspond to that of the person with whom you communicate. Amplitude modulation/AM: For communicating in areas where there are obstacles and over medium distances. This control is used to suppress undesirable background noise when there is no communication. Turn the squelch knob clockwise to the exact point where all background noise disappears. This adjustment should be done with precision as, if set to maximum, only the strongest of signals can be received. Squelch does not effect either sound nor transmission power, but allows for considerable improvement in listening comfort. To use the automatic squelch, turn the control to the position AUTO (anti clockwise until it clicks). This is used to vary the RF input to the receiver, to help eliminate strong, adjacent signals. This control, used with 12) VFO, allows you to select the frequency with precision which can be adjusted by steps of either 10 KHz, 1 kHz or 100 Hz . The selected step is indicated by a line under the relevant digit on the frequency display. An external loud speaker can be connected to your LINCOLN by using the plug situated on the back panel PA. [. . . ] Scanning always starts with the lowest channels and moves upwards to the higher ones, and always by steps of 10 KHz. If you want to communicate press the PTT switch on the microphone during the 1. Displays the currently selected VFO step (the example shows 100 Hz step selected). Lights to indicate when the radio is in transmitting mode (TX). [. . . ]
