How To Use Your Cb - PRESIDENT GRANT II ASC Manuel D'utilisation

b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB to channel 20 in FM.
- Put the switch on the SWR meter to position FWD.
- Press the "push-to-talk" switch on the microphone to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to t by using the calibration button.
- 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, re-adjust
your antenna to obtain a reading as close as possible to 1. (An SWR reading
between 1 and 1.8 is acceptable).
- It will be necessary to re-calibrate the SWR meter after each adjustment of
the antenna. See SWR page 32.
Warning: In order to ovoid 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 CB is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR CB
1) ON/OFF – VOLUME
a) To turn the set on, turn the knob (1) clockwise.
b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise.
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. "ASC" appears on the
display. 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. "ASC" disappears from the
display.
b) MANUAL SQUELCH
Turn the SQ knob clockwise to the exact point where all background noise
disappears. This adjustment should be done with precision as, if set to maxi-
mum (fully clockwise), only the strongest signals will be received.
