before operating it any further.
• Reception ma\ be difficult tfr contain noise in vehicles or in
buildings. Tr\' listening near a window.
• Certain frequencies m.w be difficult to recei\'e due to internal
spurious signals, or birdies, inherent to tlie built-in oscillakirs
used in a recei\’er. If the scanning receix’er always pauses
scanning at a certain frequence but seems to be rcceix'ing no
signal, it may be receiving a birdie. In this case, designate it a
SKIP-frequencv.
• Be sure to adjust VOL to a moderate level before turning on the
pow’er or plugging in the earphone. There will be no sound when
the receiver is scanning. Sudden reception (opening of the
squelch) mav cause unexpected loud sound and may cause
hearing damage.
• If there is lightning w'hen you are using an external antenna,
disconnect AC power immediately from the wall outlet (if
connected). Never touch the antenna during a lightning storm.
