How To Use Your Cb - PRESIDENT New JIMMY Manuel D'utilisation

4) BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE USING
YOUR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME (without transmitting and
without using the «push-to-talk» switch on the micro-
phone):
a) Connect the microphone
b) Check the antenna connections
c) Turn the set on by turning the knob VOLUME clockwise.
d) Turn the SQUELCH knob to minimum (anti-clockwise). Adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
e) Go to Channel 20 using the rotary knob on the front panel.
5) ADJUSTMENT OF SWR (Standing wave ratio):
WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your CB radio for the first time
(and whenever you re-position your antenna). The adjustment must be
carried out in an obstacle-free area.
* Using an external SWR meter (e.g. SWR 1 or SWR 2):
a) To connect the SWR meter :
- Connect the SWR meter between the CB radio and the antenna as close as
possible to the CB (use a maximum of 40 cm cable, type President CA 2C).
b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB to channel 20.
- Put the switch on the SWR meter to position CAL ou FWD.
- Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to M by using the calibration key.
- Change the switch to position SWR (reading of the SWR level). The reading on
the V.U. 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.
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) SQUELCH:
Suppresses undesirable back-ground noise when there are no communica-
tions. Turn the squelch knob clockwise to the exact point where all back-
ground noise disappears. This adjustment should be done with precision as,
if set to maximum, (i.e. fully clockwise) only the strongest signals will be
received. Squelch does not effect either sound or transmission power, but
allows for considerable improvement in listening comfort.
3) CHANNEL SELECTOR ROTARY KNOB:
Turning this knob allows you to choose a channel (1-40) for transmitting and
receiving.
4) DISPLAY:
The display shows all the different functions. The bargraph shows the level of
reception and the level of power emitted. The TX LED lights up when the set
goes into transmission mode.
