Operation; Turning On The Unit And Setting Squelch - PRESIDENT PM-2000 WP Manual Del Usuario

• See "controls and Indicators" (page 40) for button, knob,
and key positions.
• When you turn On your PM-2000 WP, it is automatically
tuned to channel 16, frequency for distress, safety, and call-
ing.
• When you press any key (except PTT), a short tone sounds.

Turning On the Unit and Setting Squelch

1. Before you turn On the unit, turn
the Squelch knob fully counterclock-
wise.
2. Then, turn On the unit by turning
the Volume / Power knob clockwise
until you hear a hissing sound.
3. Turn the Squelch knob clockwise,
just until Strong Signals the hissing
sound stops. Use the knob to adjust
to the desired squelch level. Think of
the squelch control as a frequency
gate which controls access to weak
or strong signals depending on its set-
ting.
• To listen to a weak or distant station, turn the knob counter-
clockwise. If reception is poor, turn it clockwise to cut out
weak transmissions.
• If the squelch control is adjusted so you continually hear a
hissing sound, the unit will not scan properly.
4. To turn Off the unit, turn the Volume / Power knob counter-
clockwise until it clicks.
