[. . . ] E) 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. : As the transceiver has a frontal microphone socket, it can be set into the dash board. In this case, you will need to add an external loud speaker to improve the sound quality of communications (connector EXT. 29 a)You should choose the most appropriate setting from a simple and practical point of view. [. . . ] 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). connect the red wire (+) to the positive terminal of the battery and the black (-) wire to the negative terminal of the battery. 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. A) To turn the set on, turn the knob (1) clockwise b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise. 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. 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. A) ASC: Automatic Squelch Control Worldwide patent, a PRESIDENT exclusivity No repetitive manual adjustment and a permanent improvement in listening comfort when this function is active. It can be disconnected by turning the switch (2) clockwise, in this case the manual squelch control becomes active again. B) Manual squelch Turn the squelch knob clockwise to the exact point where all background noise disappears. This adjustment should be done with precision as, if set to maximum, (i. RF GAIN can be reduced to avoid distortion, when your correspondent is close by and who does not have the RF POWER function. The modulation mode must correspond with that of the person with whom you communicate. AM/ Amplitude Modulation (AM) is for communications in areas where there are obstacles and over medium distances. fM/ Frequency Modulation (FM) is for nearby communications in flat , open areas. It gives better quality of communication (squelch adjustment needs more finesse). Turning this knob allows you to choose a channel (1-40) for transmitting and receiving. [. . . ] 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.
