How To Use Your Cb; Channel Selector - PRESIDENT ANDY USA 12/24 V Manual Del Usuario

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 VOL (1) clockwise.
d) Turn the squelch SQ knob (3) to minimum (M position).
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
f) Go to Channel 20 using either the s/t keys (2).
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, type President CA-2C).
b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB on channel 20.
- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).
- Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone 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 ad-
justment of the antenna.
WARNING: In order to avoid any losses and attenuations in cables
used for connection between the radio and its accessories, PRES-
IDENT recommends to use a cable with a length inferior to 118.11
inches / 3 m.
Your CB is now ready for use.
