How To Use Your Cb - PRESIDENT VALERY CLASSIC Manual Del Usuario

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 knob VOLUME clockwise.
d)
Turn the SQUELCH knob to minimum (anti-clockwise). Adjust the volume to a comfortable
level.
e)
Go to Channel 20 using the rotary knob on the front panel.
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.
* Using an external SWR meter (e.g. SWR 1 or SWR 2):
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 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 CAL ou FWD.
- Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to M by using the calibration key.
- Change the switch to position SWR (reading of the SWR level). The reading on the V.U.
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.
Your CB is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR CB:
1) ON/OFF - VOLUME:
a) 1
To turn the set on, turn the knob ( ) clockwise
b)
To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise.
2) SQUELCH:
Suppresses undesirable back-ground noise when there are no communications. Turn
the squelch knob clockwise to the exact point where all back-ground noise disappears.
This adjustment should be done with precision as, if set to maximum, (i.e. fully clockwise)
only the strongest signals will be received. Squelch does not effect either sound or
transmission power, but allows for considerable improvement in listening comfort.
3) PA (Public Address):
An external loud speaker can be connected to your PRESIDENT VALERY by the jack plug
situated on the back panel PA.SP (E). By pressing the PA key, the message transmitted
into the microphone will be directed towards the external speaker and be amplified.
Hold the microphone far enough away from this loud speaker so as to avoid the Larsen
effect. To increase the sound level, use the MIC GAIN knob.
4) ANL:
Automatic Noise Limiter. This filter allow the reduction of back ground noise, and some
reception interference.
Move the switch once to activate the function. Move the same switch to cancel.
5) MODE:
Use this key to select AM or FM. The modulation mode must correspond with that of the
person with whom you communicate.
A/
Amplitude Modulation (AM) is for communications in areas where there are obstacles
and over medium distances.
B/
Frequency Modulation (FM) is for nearby communications in flat, open areas. It gives
better quality of communication (squelch adjustment needs more finesse).
6) FORT/FAIBLE:
This key allows you to adjust the luminosity of the display.
7) CHANNEL SELECTOR ROTARY KNOB:
Turning this knob allows you to choose a channel (1-40) for transmitting and receiving.
8) FM:
The FM indicator (red) lights up when Frequency Modulation is selected.
9) RX/TX:
