WARNING:
Never replace the original fuse (2 A) by one of
a different value.
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 (
1
) clockwise.
d)
Turn the squelch
SQ
knob (

position).
e)
Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
f)
Go to channel 20 by using the
CH
rotary knob or
UP
/
DN
keys (
6
) on the microphone.
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 internal SWR-meter
NEW, EASY AND VERY HANDY- Adjustment of SWR meter by
beep tones
-
Push the
CH
knob (
6
) six times to enter
SWR
function.
- Display shows a message with active channel and SWR
during 2 seconds, for example {
CH40
SWR
}.
- The radio goes to
TX
mode automatically without pressing
PTT
key (
13
) and starts
SWR
measurement. Measurement
time is 5 minutes maximum. The remaining time is displayed
on sub Indicator.
- Adjust your antenna.
- Tone beep
*
is continuous when SWR value is equal to
10
**
(=1.0). The space between two beeps became longer
English
when SWR value moves away from
10
**
(=1.0).
- Volume Beep is adjustable with
VOL
knob (
1
).
- Display shows the
SWR
value. For example
25
**
(=2.5).
- When adjusted, press the
CH
knob (
6
) to activate the next
function (
TONE
).
- Press
PTT
switch (
13
) to exit
FUNCTIONS
mode.
*
Please check that the beep volume is set to a comfortable
listening level.
**
there is no dot between the 2 digits of SWR value, for
example
25
means
2.5
.
See
SWR
function page 14
.
* 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 15.75 inches (40 cm) cable, type President CA 2C).
b)
To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB on channel 20 (27.205 MHz) in AM.
- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibra-
tion).
- Press the “push-to-talk” switch on the microphone to trans-
mit.
- Bring the index needle to
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, readjust your antenna to obtain a
reading as close as possible to 1. (A SWR reading between
1 and 1.8 is acceptable).
- It will be necessary to recalibrate the SWR meter after each
adjustment of the antenna.
