4.  SQUELCH:  The  squelch  control  is  normally  set  to  a  position  which  just 

éliminâtes  undesired  background  noise  w ith  no  signal  present.  With  the  audio 

volume  adjusted  to  a  satisfactory  level,  rotate  the  Squelch  control  clockwise  to 

the  point where  the  sound  from   the  speaker  is eut  off.  In  this position,  there w ill 

be  no  sound  from   the  speaker  until  a  signal  is  received.  In  order  to   hear  weak 

signais,  it  may  be  necessary  to  rotate  the  Squelch  control  counterclockwise, 

allowing  some  background  noise to  be  heard.

5.  C LA R IFIER :  The  clarifier  is  normally  set  to  the  center  position.  This  feature 

has  several  uses  and  can  greatly  enhance  receiver  operation.  If  a  receive  signal 

is  slightly  o ff  frequency,  this  control  can  be  operated  to  optimize  the  receive 

signal.  This  control  is  prim arily  intended  to  tune  in  SSB  signais,  but,  it  may  be 

also  used  to optimize  the AM  signal.

6.  MIKE GAIN: 

This  control  is  used  to  adjust,  as  required,  microphone  input

sensitivity  fo r  optim um   amount  o f  modulation  in  transmit  UNIDEN's  citizen's 

band  transceivers  hâve  been  designed  to  permit  the  user  to  attain  levels  of 
modulation  up  to   100%  depending  on  the  setting  of  the  microphone  gain 

control,  using  the  microphone  provided  with  the  unit.  UNIDEN's  automatic 

compression  and  peak  lim iting  circuits  assure  maximum  modualtion  w ith  m ini­

mum distortion.

7.  DIMMER  SWITCH:  This  switch  is  used  to  adjust  the  brightness  of  the  LED 

channel  display  and  the  meter.  DIM  position  reduces  brightness.

8.  CH9  SWITCH:  This  switch  is  for use  when emergency  communication  is  needed 

on  the  emergency  channel 

CH9.  Pressing  the  CH9  switch  activâtes  CH9 

regardless  of  the  position  of  the  channel  selector  switch.  When  CH9  switch  is 

pressed,  the  channel  display  is  blanked  and  the  CH9  indicator  is  activated.

9.  PA-СВ  SWITCH:  This  control  engages  the  PA  function.  The  PA  function should 

not  be  used  unless  an  external  speaker  is  connected.  In  the CB  position,  the  PA 

function  is  disabled  and  the  radio  w ill  transmit  and  receive  on  the  selected 

channel.

10.  N B/AN L  SWITCH:  When  the  switch  is  placed  in  the  N B/AN L  position,  both  of 

RF  Noise  Blanker  and  Automatic  Noise  Lim iter  circuits  are  activated.  The 

NB  is  very  effective  for  répétitive  impulse  noise  such  as  ignition  noise.  The 
AN L  reduces  annoying  hash-type  noises.

11.  RF  GAIN:  This  control  is  used  prim arily  to  optimize  réception  in  strong signal 

areas.  Gain  is reduced  by  counterclockwise  rotation  of  the  control.
