G. Volume Control.
The volume control is set to maximum at the factory. If the volume level is reduced, be sure that the
The Model 300GC and 302GC SelecTone is equipped with a volume control to control the
volume of the signal (as indicated in figure 4, there is no volume control in 12VDC units). To
gain access to this control, remove the screws that secure the front panel to the housing. The
volume control is mounted on the amplifier mounting bracket (see figures 2 or 3) of Models
300GC and 302GC only.
H. Operation.
Listed below are some important safety instructions you should follow:
• Read and understand all instructions before operating this unit.
