How To Use Your Cb - PRESIDENT JOHNSON II USA 12/24 V Owner's Manual

c) It is necessary to connect your CB to a permanent (+) and
(-). 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 some cases, 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.
e) Connect the power cable to your CB radio.
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 (2) to minimum (M position).
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
f) Go to channel 20 by using s, t, UP or DN keys (4, 5, 15,
14).
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 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 to channel 20.
- 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 t 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, re-adjust 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 re-calibrate the SWR meter after
each adjustment of the antenna.
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 118.11 inches (3 m).
Adjustment with internal SWR-meter
Short press •F/MEM key (6) and s (4) or UP (14) key to switch
on (/off) the SWR function (see § •SWR page 8). SWR
level is displayed. When finished, switch off the function.
Your CB is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR CB
1) ON/OFF – VOLUME
a) To turn the set on, turn the VOL knob (1) clockwise.
b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further
clockwise.
