[. . . ] Take care not to damage the vehicle's electrical system while drilling the dash board. E) Do not forget to insert the rubber joints [3] between the CB and its support as these have a shock-absorbing effect which permits gentle orientation and tightening of the set. F) Choose where to place the microphone support and remember that the microphone cord must stretch to the driver without interfering with the controls of the vehicle. : You will need to add an external loud speaker to improve the sound quality of communications (connector EXT. [. . . ] The following connection steps should be carried out with the power cable disconnected from the set. Should it be necessary to lengthen the power cable, you should use the same or a superior type of cable. 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 somecases, 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. A) To turn the set on, turn the knob (1) clockwise b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise. Suppresses undesirable back-ground noises when there are no communication. Squelch does not effect neither sound nor transmission power, but allows a considerable improvement in listening comfort. 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. Public Address : turn this knob completely counter clockwise in order to activate an external speaker (PA) that may be connected to the back panel (E). The message transmitted into the microphone will be amplified and directed to this speaker. Hold the microphone far enough away from this loud speaker so as to avoid the Larsen effect. WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your CB radio for the first time (and whenever you re-position your antenna). 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). If this is not the case, re-adjust your antenna to obtain a reading as close as possible to 1. - It will be necessary to re-calibrate the SWR meter after each adjustment of the antenna. Lower and Upper Side Band is used for communications over long distances (depends very much on atmospheric conditions). S/RF position: View-meter indicates relative transmitter output power when transmitting and input signal strength when receiving. These filters allow the reduction of back ground noises, and some reception interferences. The mode must correspond with that of the person with whom you communicate. This function allows a frequency deviation during LSB/USB reception to improve the clearness of your correspondent's voice. When you finish speaking and you release the «push-to-talk» switch to allow your correspondent to speak, a «beep» sounds. [. . . ] Press the «push-to-talk» switch and announce your message «Attention stations, transmission testing» which will allow you to check the clearness and the power of your signal. If you use a calling channel (19, 27) and you have established communication with someone, it is common practice to choose another available channel so as not to block the calling channel. Below you will find some of the most frequently used CB radio expressions. Remember this is meant for fun and that you are by no means obliged to use them. [. . . ]
