C. VHF Screen
If the MYSTIC is set for MRN & GPS, 
and you press [ENTER], the display 
changes to the VHF Screen. The radio 
will be tuned to the Channel you were 
on when you last turned the radio Off.
D. No GPS Screen

Warning Screen within the 10 sec-
onds, you will not have GPS available.
If you now press [ESC], the MYSTIC 
will return to the Warning screen. You 
will have another 10 seconds to press 
[ENTER] to agree to the message. 
Squelch
The SQUELCH (SQ) control allows you to set the “threshold” at which 
signals can be heard. This allows you to determine how strong a signal 
must be before it “breaks squelch”. That is, how strong it must be before 
you can hear it. This keeps static and unwanted weak or distant signals 
from breaking into your desired conversations.
Mystic OM.book  Page 17  Wednesday, October 22, 2003  8:59 PM 
						

							18
To set the Squelch level:
1. Turn  SQ fully clockwise. This raises the 
“Squelch Gate” so high that only very strong 
signals can get through.
2. Turn  SQ fully counterclock wise until you hear 
a hiss. This lowers the  “Squelch Gate” so that 
everything gets through - noise, weak signals, 
and strong signals.
3. Turn  SQ back clockwise just until the hiss 
stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only 
signals of the desired strength through.
To listen to a weak or di stant station, turn the 
knob counterclockwise. If reception is poor, 
turn it clockwise to cut out weak transmis-
sions.
Note: If the squelch control is adjusted so you continually hear a 
hissing sound, the unit  will not scan properly.
Using the MYSTIC keys
Yo u r  MYSTIC  has 11 keys and a four-way cursor. Of the 11 keys, 6 are 
dual-function. That is, you press that key to access one function, and you 
press and hold
 that key to access another.
Note: Example:Press  [WX/ALERT] to change from the VHF Channels 
to the Weather Channels. Press and hold
  [WX/ALERT]  to set 
the Weather Alert Mode.
The cursor keys ( STWX) are used to: change Channels, alternate 
Navigation screens, and select  items in the Menu screens.
The  [MENU]  key is used to access the Menu screen. When you are at the 
Menu  screen, use  ST to select the  next Menu, and press [ENTER]. 
That will take you to the next Menu, or  the next selection to modify. To 
stop from selecting any item, press  [ESC].
