Standard C828M - Communication Procedures

4. Commuiiication Procedures
^ 1. Preparation for Communication
First, turn the SQL knob (2) fully counterclockwise, and then set the Channel
selector (11) to the Channel you desireto use.
2. Turn on the power supply switch.
Turn the VOL OFF knob (1) clockwise until it clicks. The Channel selector
lamp and the meter lamp will light up to show that the power is on.
3. Adjust the volume.
As you turn the VOL OFF knob (1) clockwise, you will come to a point where
a rustling noise-or the conversation in the case someone is talking over the chan-
nel-becomes audible. Set the knob for suitable volume while listening to the
noise or the conversation.
4. Set the squelch control.
Turn the Channel selector and set the SQL knob (2) using an empty Channel,
Turn the knob slowly in the clockwise direction until you come to a point where
the noise suddenly goes off.
Set the SQL knob on this point and you will hear no noise but the incoming
Signal alone through the Speaker. In this case, if the signal is unclear because
of the squelch circuit being off and on due to the signal condition of your party's
Station, turn the SQL knob slightly further to the right.
5. Transmission:
Set the repeater switch and hi-low power switch to the desired positions.
Take up the microphone and press the push button on the microphone. Speak
into the microphone slowly and distinctly in normal tone of voice. At this time,
the red lamp in the front illuminates to show the transmitting Status as long as
the push button remains pressed. Simultaneously, the meter indicates the com-
parative value of the transmission power. Now, your voice is out on the air.
