Notes:
• If you have not stored frequencies into any chan-
nels, the scanner does not scan.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very
weak transmissions, turn
SQUELCH
counterclockwise
to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to these sig-
nals. If you want to listen to a weak or distant sta-
tion, turn
SQUELCH
clockwise.
•If
SQUELCH
is adjusted so you always hear a hissing
sound, the scanner does not scan properly.
