Before you use your TRC-236, we recom-
mend you read “CB Operation Tips” on
Page 22, which contains information to
help you use it effectively and courteously.
RECEIVING
TRANSMISSIONS AND
ADJUSTING SQUELCH
1. If you did not connect an external
antenna, fully extend the TRC-236’s
telescoping antenna and hold the
TRC-236 so the antenna is vertical.
Caution: Unless an external an-
tenna is attached, if you do not fully
extend the antenna, the TRC-236’s
efficiency is reduced.
2. Turn on the TRC-236 by turning OFF/
VOLUME clockwise until you hear a
click and a hissing sound.
Note: When you tune a channel, the
channel’s number appears or flashes
on the display for several seconds
then fades, to save battery power. To
continuously display the channel
number, press and hold
DISPLAY on
the side of the TRC-236.
