How To Use Your Transceiver - PRESIDENT RICHARD Manual Del Usuario

* Adjustment with external SWR meter (e.g. type TOS-1 PRESIDENT)
a) To connect the SWR meter:
- Connect the SWR meter between the unit and the antenna, as close as
possible to the set (use cable (15.75 in/ 40 cm maximum) type CA-2C
PRESIDENT).
b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the radio to a center band frequency in AM.
- Put the switch on the SWR meter to position FWD (calibration).
Press the PTT switch (17) to transmit.
-
- 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 (an 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 in / 3 m.
Your transceiver is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR TRANSCEIVER
1) ON/OFF ~ VOLUME
Turn on : turn VOLUME knob (1) clockwise. If the function KEY BEEP is active

Display shows the microphone type setup during 1 second . See menu MIC
TYPE page 27.
Turn Off : turn VOLUME knob (1) counterclockwise until radio emits click
sound. Your radio is "off".
Volume Adjustment: rotate VOLUME knob (1) clockwise to adjust volume.
Turn the same knob counterclockwise to reduce the sound level.
2) ASC (Automatic Squelch Control) ~ SQUELCH
Suppresses
undesirable background noises when there is no communication.
Squelch does not affect neither sound nor transmission power, but allows a
considerable improvement in listening comfort.

b) MANUAL SQUELCH
Turn the SQUELCH knob (2) clockwise to the exact point where all background
