[. . . ] D) To install your equipment, use the cradle (1) and the self-tapping screws (2) provided (drilling diameter 3. 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. [. . . ] To obtain this, you should lightly scratch the surface where the screw and tightening star are to be placed. Be careful not to pinch or flatten the coaxial cable (as this runs the risk of break down and/or short circuiting). If it is fixed to a mast, it will perhaps be necessary to stay it, according to the laws in force (you should seek professional advice). All PRESIDENT antennas and accessories are designed to give maximum efficiency to each CB radio within the range. 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. WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your CB radio for the first time (and whenever you re-position your antenna). Squelch does not affect neither sound nor transmission power, but allows a considerable improvement in listening comfort. 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. Turn the SQ knob clockwise to the exact point where all background noise disappears. This adjustment should be done with precision as, if set to maximum (fully clockwise), only the strongest signals will be received. In order to disable the function, press during 1 second the KEY BP key. You can reduce the RF GAIN in order to avoid distortion when your correspondent is close by and when he has no RF POWER. An error beep sounds when a key is used and the LOCK function is activated. A «beep» sounds each time the channel changes if the KEY BP function is activated. (configuration: E; d; EU; EC; U; PL) The frequency bands have to be chosen according to the country of use. In order to change the configuration, use the channel selector on the front panel. And the letter corresponding to the configuration are continuously displayed, a beep sounds. At this point, confirm the selection by switching off the transceiver and then switching it on again. The scanning automatically starts 3 seconds after the end of the transmission and no key is activated during 3 s. The scanning starts again in an increasing way by turning the rotary knob to the right, or in a decreasing way by turning the rotary knob to the left.
