a) Check that the battery is of 12 or 24 volts.
b) Locate the positive and negative terminals of the battery (+ is red and
- is black). Should it be necessary to lengthen the power cable, you
should use the same or a superior type of cable.
c) It is necessary to connect your CB to a permanent (+) and (-). We
advise you to connect the power cable directly to the battery (as the
connection of the CB cable to the wiring of the car-radio or other parts
of the electrical circuit may, in some cases, increase the likelihood of
interference).
d) Connect the red wire (+) to the positive terminal of the battery and the
black (-) wire to the negative terminal of the battery.
e) Connect the power cable to your CB radio.
WARNING: Never replace the original fuse by one of a different value.
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
microphone)
a) Connect the microphone
b) Check the antenna connections
c) Turn the set on by turning the volume knob VOL (1) clockwise.
d) Turn the squelch knob SQ (2) to minimum (M position). Adjust the volume
to a comfortable level.
e) Go to Channel 20 using either the UP/DN (4).
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.
*Adjustment with the built-in SWR meter
See the SWR function on page 32
*Using an external SWR meter (e.g. SWR 1)
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 FWD.
-
Press the «push-to-talk» switch 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 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 ad-
justment 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 3m.
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 VOL (1) clockwise.
b)
To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise.
2) ASC (Automatic Squelch Control)/SQUELCH
Suppresses undesirable back-ground noises when there is no communication.
Squelch does not effect 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 squelch knob SQ (2) counterclockwise to ASC position. «ASC»
appears on the display. No repetitive manual adjustment and a per-
manent improvement in listening comfort when this function is active.
It can be disconnected by turning the knob clockwise, in this case the
manual squelch control becomes active again. «ASC» disappears.
b)
Manual squelch
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.
