Above all….Safety! Warnings ! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty. ! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment. Just use a soft, clean cloth.

Volume control Turn the knob VOLUME to about half way and adjust it to a comfortable level as soon as you receive a signal.
MON button (Monitor) The Monitor button is for temporarily excluding (opening) the squelch, in order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the squelch permanently opened. By excluding the squelch you will avoid listening the communication “chopped” by the squelch. In order to activate the Monitor function, so as to listen to all traffic on the selected channel, keep pressed the MON/SCAN button for about 3 seconds. Keep pressed the button MON/SCAN for about 3 seconds to disable this function.
