Operation
☞ When you press any key (except
PTT), a short tone sounds.
☞ When you turn on your ATLANTIS, it
is automatically tuned to channel 16,
the United States Coast Guard
frequency for distress, safety, and
calling.
☞ See the foldout in the front of the
operating guide for button, knob, and
key positions.
Turning on the Unit and Setting Squelch
1. Before you turn on the
unit, turn the
Squelch
knob fully counter
clockwise.
2. Then, turn on the Unit
by turning the
Volume/Power
knob
clockwise until you
hear a hissing sound.
3. Turn the
Squelch
knob
clockwise, just until the
hissing sound stops.
Use the knob to adjust
to the desired squelch
level. Think of the
squelch control as a
frequency gate which
controls access to
weak or strong signals depending on
its setting.
☞ To listen to a weak or distant station,
turn the knob counterclockwise.
☞ If the tracking squelch control is
adjusted so you continually hear a
hissing sound, the unit will not scan
properly.
4. To turn off the unit, turn the
Volume/Power
knob counterclockwise.
