[. . . ] 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. 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.

The mode must correspond with that of the person with whom you communicate. 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. The View-meter shows the level of reception and the level of power emitted, as well as the modulation rate These filters allow the reduction of back ground noises, and some reception interferences. When you finish speaking and you release the «push-to-talk» switch to allow your correspondent to speak, a «beep» sounds. Radio CB is what is known as a «simplex» method of communication, that is to say, that you cannot listen and speak at the same time (as you can, for example, with the telephone).
