3) POWER CONNECTION
Your PRESIDENT MARTIN + 12/24 V is protected against an inversion of po-
larities. However, before switching it on, you are advised to check all the
connections. Your equipment must be supplied with a continued current
of 12 or 24 volts (A). Nowadays, most cars and lorries work with a negative
grounding. You can check this by making sure that the negative terminal
of the battery is connected either to the engine block or to the chassis. If
this is not the case, you should consult your dealer.
a) Check that the battery is of 12 or 24 volts.
b) Locate the positive and negative terminals of the battery (+ is red and
- is black). Should it be necessary to lengthen the power cable, you
should use the same or a superior type of cable.
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 interferences.
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 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 VOL (1) clockwise.
d) Turn the squelch SQ knob (2) to minimum M.
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
f)
Go to channel 20 by using ROTARY knob (4) or UP/DN buttons (12) on
the microphone.
5) HOW TO ADJUST SWR (Standing Wave Ratio)
Warning: This must be carried out when you use your radio for the first time
and whenever you re-position your antenna. This 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 40 cm cable, type President
CA-2C).
b)
To adjust the SWR meter:
-
Set the CB on channel 20 in FM.
-
Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).
-
Press the PTT "push-to-talk" switch (11) 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,
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 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 3 m.
Your transceiver is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR TRANSCEIVER
1) ON/OFF ~ VOLUME
Turn on
: turn VOL knob (1) clockwise. If the function KEY BEEP is active (see
menu KEY BEEP page 33), the radio emits a beep. The radio is "on".
The display briefly shows the frequency band (see § FREQUENCY BAND
SELECTION page 33).
: turn VOL knob (1) counterclockwise until radio emits a click sound.
Turn Off
Your radio is "off".
Volume
Adjustment: rotate VOL knob (1) clockwise to
