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 (calibration).
-
-
Press the PTT switch (13) on the microphone to transmit.
-
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 ad-
justment of the antenna.
WARNING: In order to avoid any losses and attenuations in ca-
bles 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).
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.
Display shows during 2 seconds the microphone type (consult
the menu MICROPHONE TYPE page 13).
b)
To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise.
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.

the listening comfort when ASC is active. This function can be
disconnected by turning the switch clockwise. In this case the

disappears from the display.
b)
MANUAL SQUELCH
Turn the SQ knob clockwise to the exact point where all back-
ground noises disappear. This adjustment should be done with
precision, because if set to maximum (fully clockwise), only the
strongest signals will be received.
3) DISPLAY
It shows all functions:
The main BARGRAPH shows the reception level and the output
power level. Smaller bargraphs show Mic Gain, RF Gain and RF
Power levels.
