Turning Your Radio On or Off
Turn P clockwise for On or counterclockwise for Off.
The radio chirps and the display briefly shows all features and display 
segments of your CP100 radio. 
Then the radio displays the current channel (larger number in the 
center) and the frequency assigned to that channel (on right).
The interference eliminator code displays briefly. Then the current 
channel remains displayed.
The transmit light on the front left of the radio flashes every three 
seconds when the radio is on. 
Adjusting the Volume
You can set the volume by turning P. 
Note:  Do not hold the radio too close to your ear when adjusting the 
volume or if it is at a high setting.
