Using CH9 
Important
:  Channel 9 is reserved for
motorist assistance and for reporting
emergency information about acci-
dents, hazardous road conditions,
and so on. Always give emergency
messages priority on Channel 9.  
You can instantly switch to Channel 9
at any time by pressing 
CH9
. The
display shows 
9
.
Note
: Pressing 
CH9
 disables 
CHAN-
NEL
 and 
SCAN
.
To return to normal operation, press
CH9
 again. Your CB returns to the
channel you were previously using.
Using SCAN
You can use the scan function to
scan for incoming signals. Press
SCAN
. The TRC-495 starts to scan,
and the SCAN indicator lights. 
The CHANNEL indicator shows the
scanned frequencies, then stops at
the incoming signal.
Note:
 If the signal is lost for about 3
seconds, the CB begins scanning
again.
Using NB and ANL 
If you encounter noise while receiv-
ing, press 
NB
 (noise blanker) or 
ANL
(automatic noise limiter). The NB or
ANL indicator lights, and the noise
level should drop.
NB
 eliminates impulse-type noise
(like that produced by vehicle igni-
tions or engines).
ANL
 reduces the level of continuous
noise so it does not interfere with re-
ception.
If you still hear the noise, refer to
“Noise Reduction” for additional in-
formation. 
If parts of the received signal sound
choppy, press 
NB 
or 
ANL
 again (to
the out position) to turn off the func-
tion.
