How To Use Your Transceiver; Manual Squelch - PRESIDENT Taylor IV 12/24V Manuel D'utilisation

b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB on channel 20 in AM.
Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).
-
- Press the PTT "push-to-talk" switch (13) on the microphone to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to t by using the calibration key.
- Change the switch to position REF (reading of the SWR level). The reading on
the Meter should be as near as possible to 1. If this is not the case, readjust
your antenna to obtain a reading as close as possible to 1. (A SWR reading
between 1 and 1.8 is acceptable).
- It will be necessary to recalibrate the SWR meter after each adjustment of
the antenna.
WARNING: In order to avoid any losses and attenuations in cables used for
connection between the radio and its accessories, PRESIDENT recommends
to use a cable with a length inferior to 3 m.
Your transceiver is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR TRANSCEIVER
1) ON/OFF ~ VOLUME
Turn on : turn VOL knob (1) clockwise. If the function KEY BEEP is active (see
menu KEY BEEP page 36), the radio emits a beep. The radio is "on".
Display briefly shows the microphone type setup (see menu MIC TYPE page
38) and frequency band (see § FREQUENCY BAND SELECTION page 34).
Turn Off : turn VOL knob (1) counterclockwise until radio emits click sound.
Your radio is "off".
Volume Adjustment: rotate VOL knob (1) clockwise to adjust volume. Turn
the same knob counterclockwise to reduce the sound level.
2) ASC (Automatic Squelch Control) ~ SQUELCH
Suppresses
undesirable background noises when there is no communication.
Squelch does not affect neither sound nor transmission power, but allows a
considerable improvement in listening comfort.
a) ASC: AUTOMATIC SQUELCH CONTROL
Worldwide patent, a PRESIDENT exclusivity.
Turn the SQ knob (2) anti-clockwise into ASC position.
No repetitive manual adjustment and a permanent improvement between
the sensitivity and the listening comfort when ASC is active. This function can
be disconnected by turning the switch clockwise. In this case the squelch
adjustment becomes manual again.

b) MANUAL SQUELCH
Turn the SQ knob (2) clockwise to the exact point where all background
