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 SQ knob (3) to minimum (M position),

e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level,

f) Go to Channel 20 using either s/t keys (2) or the UP/DN knob (9).

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 external SWR-meter (e.g. TOS-1 PRESIDENT)

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 on channel 20.

- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).

- 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 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, PRES-

IDENT 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 VOL knob (1) clockwise.

If the KEY BEEP function is activated, 4 tones sound when you turn

the CB radio on.

See FUNCTIONS TURNING ON THE UNIT on page 20

b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise.

2) CHANNEL SELECTOR: s/t keys on unit

These keys allow increasing or decreasing a channel. A «beep»

sounds each time the channel changes if the KEY BEEP function is

activated. See KEY BEEP function page 20.
