4.4 Operation in the Receive (Listen) Mode
To operate the transceiver in the receive mode, proceed as follows:
• Ensure that the PTT key
8
is NOT depressed, and verify that the 'TX BATT' red
LED
2
is OFF.
• Verify that 'CH' Switch
5
is set to your desired operating channel 1 … 16.
• Set the 'VOL' Control
4
to a comfortable audio level. The VOLUME Control can
be adjusted in a clockwise direction to increase the audio level, or in a counter-
clockwise direction to decrease the audio level which can be heard on the
internal loudspeaker.
IMPORTANT!
• When an external headset is plugged to the 'EXT' accessory socket
7
of the transceiver, the internal loudspeaker is automatically
disabled. The 'VOL' Control
4
will now control the audio level
applied to the external loudspeaker or headset, as applicable.
• When the FSG 7016 is operated with a combined speaker/
microphone (A/N F10168), receive is only audible in the speaker/
microphone.
• On a clear channel NO basic receiver noise should be audible in the speaker or
phone (Squelch = ON).
• To check the receiver's squelch circuit, set OFF-ON-SQ OFF-VOX knob
1
to 'SQ
OFF' position. On a clear channel, basic receiver noise with constant volume
should be audible (only at an interference free location).
• For receiving normal communication, the OFF-ON-SQ OFF-VOX knob
1
should be
in the 'ON' position. Receiver noise, weak signals, and interference signals are
blocked.
• If the OFF-ON-SQ OFF-VOX knob
1
is set to the 'SQ OFF' position,
• or the side TEST key
9
is depressed (resulting in an additional Test tone
sequence),
• maximum receiving radio range is obtained and very weak signals can be
received satisfactorily, but with noise content.
• To change the operating channel, set the 'CH' Switch
5
to the desired new
channel 1 through 16.
