* Using an external SWR meter (e.g. SWR 1 or SWR 2 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 CA 2C PRESIDENT).
b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB to channel 20.
- Put the switch on the SWR meter to position «CAL» (= calibrate).
- Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone.
- Bring the index needle to ▼ 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 after each adjustment of the an-tenna.
Your CB is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR CB:
1) POWER:
a) One quick press on this key turns your CB on and off.
b) A longer depression (about three seconds) activates the protection by code
procedure. The code must be re-entered to put the set on.
NOTE : As soon as your set goes off, the last configuration is memorised ready
for the next time.
2) DIMMER:
a) Set turned off (but with power supply connected): by pressing the DIMMER key
the message
flashes indicating clearly and permanently the code
protection in your absence. You should not leave this function on for more
than three days without starting your vehicle's engine (risk of flat battery).
b) With the set turned on: This key allows you to adjust the luminosity of the display.
3) DC (Double Colour):
With this key you can change the colour of the digital display to either amber
or green, so that your set is in harmony with the interior of your vehicle.
4) VOLUME:
To increase the volume, turn this knob clockwise.
5) SQUELCH:
Suppresses undesirable back-ground noise when there are no
communications. Turn the squelch knob clockwise to the exact point where
all background noise disappears. This adjustment should be done with precision
as, if set to maximum, only the strongest of signals can be received. Squelch
does not effect either sound or transmission power, but allows for considerable
improvement in listening comfort.

ROTARY KNOB:
The two keys, «CH ▲» and «CH ▼» on the microphone and on the front panel,
allow you to go up and down the channels. This can also be done with the
channel rotary knob.
«CH ▼ » key : one quick press allows you to go down by one channel,
continued pression allows you to descend five channels per second.
«CH ▲» key : one quick press allows you to go up by one channel, continued
pression allows you to ascend five channels per second.
7) MODE:
Use this key to select AM, FM, LSB or USB.
The mode must correspond with that of the person with whom you
communicate.
Amplitude Modulation (AM) is for communications in areas where there are
obstacles and over medium distances.
Frequency Modulation (FM) is for nearby communications in flat, open areas.
It gives better quality of communication (squelch adjustment needs more
finesse).
Lower and Upper Side Band is used for prompt communications over long
distances (depends very much on atmospheric conditions).
A long press on the «MODE» key allows you to change from AM/FM/ to LSB/USB
and vice versa. A short press on the same key allows you to change from AM
to FM or from LSB to USB and vice versa
