WARNING ! Before using, be careful never to transmit without first having connected the antenna (connection B situated on the back panel of the equipment) or without having set the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) ! Failure to do so may result in destruction of the power amplifier, which is not covered by the guarantee. The guarantee of this transceiver is valid only in the purchase country.
Welcome to the world of the 3rd generation of CB radios. The new PRESIDENT INTERACTIVE range gives you access to top performance CB equipment. With the use of upto-date technology, which guarantees unprecedented quality, your PRESIDENT GEORGE is a new step in personal communications and is the surest choice for the most demanding of professional CB radio users.
2) ANTENNA INSTALLATION: 3) POWER CONNECTION: a) Choosing your antenna: - For CB radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results. Your dealer will be able to help you with your choice of antenna. Your PRESIDENT GEORGE is protected against an inversion of polarities. However, before switching it on, you are advised to check all the connections. Your mobile set must be supplied with a continued current of 12 volts (A). Today, most cars and lorries are negative earth.
e) Press the «METER» key, with the «push-to-talk» switch pressed down, so that the equipment is in S/RF mode. 4) BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE USING YOUR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME (without trans-mitting and without using the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone): DISPLAY a) Connect the microphone b) Check the antenna connections c) To turn the equipment on : Press any key so that flashes. You have about 10 seconds in which to enter your access code.
* Using an external SWR meter (e.g. SWR 1 or SWR 2 PRESIDENT): 4) VOLUME: 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.
Example: 8) RF POWER: When you turn this knob fully clockwise the RF power (norm peak 4 watts) is at maximum. You should reduce transmission power when the communication is close to someone who does not have RF GAIN. Configuration You are in Channel 22, FM. The normal setting of this knob is on maximum (fully clockwise). 9) RF GAIN: This knob is for adjusting sensitivity during reception. For long distance communications RF GAIN should be set to maximum.
else disappears. Hold the microphone far enough away from this loud speaker so as to avoid the Larsen effect. 14)NB/ANL: Noise Blanker/ Automatic Noise Limiter. These filters allow the reduction of back ground noise, and some reception interference. The PA volume is regulated by the MIC GAIN knob. To cancel PA, press the «PA» key and the set returns to the previous configuration. Press once to activate the function. «NB/ANL» appears in the display. To cancel, press the same key.
- Press «CH ▲» (+ 10 channels): Set goes to the channel 32 FM. 20)CH 19 (Channel 19 AM): Channel 19 AM is automatically selected when you depress this key. Configuration You are in Channel 22 FM. - Press «CH ▲» (+ 10 channels): Set goes to the channel 2 FM. - Press «CH19»: Frequency disappears to indicate that Channel 19 AM is selected. Set goes directly to Channel 19 AM. - Press «CH ▼» (- 10 channels): Set returns to channel 32 FM. - Press «CH19»: Set returns to previous configuration Channel 22 FM.
- - If a signal is detected on Channel 22 your CB listens to the channel and stays there until the end of the signal. Press «CH19» Set goes directly to Channel «CH19». - End of signal on Channel 22 FM. 21)DW (Dual Watch): This function lets you watch over Channel 19 AM and the channel you are using. The equipment goes to and from the two channels (1 second per channel) and stops on the one where a signal is detected (reception level defined by squelch).
By immediately pressing one of the memory keys (M1 - M4) the channel and the modulation mode currently in use will be stored in the memory. The operation is validated with a long beep. (See example after paragraph 23) - Depression of «M1»: stops flashing, appears, long beep sounds to indicate that Channel 22 FM is memorised in . 23)M1-M2-M3-M4: Used in conjunction with the «PROGRAM» key, these keys allow you to memorise and to call up information.
b) Direct access to one of the memories, Initial configuration Channel 3 LSB. 24)SCAN: This function allows you to “scan” all the memorised channels (16). Scanning stops when a signal is detected on one of the memorised channels. At the end of the signal, scanning continues. By going into transmission mode you may communicate with your correspondent and your CB leaves the scanning mode.
- if the 12 volt power supply is deconnected and/or - after a long depression (more than four seconds) of the POWER key (radio on or off). In these two cases, the CB is blocked and it is necessary to enter the correct access code. The access code, established by PRESIDENT in the factory or after being returned to the After Sales Service department is: «M3», «M4», and «PROGRAM»: appears in the display as well as the letter .
D) TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: E) TROUBLE SHOOTING: 1) GENERAL: - Channels - Modulation modes - Frequency ranges - Antenna impedance - Power supply - Dimensions (en mm) - Weight - Accessories supplied : : : : : : : : 40 AM/FM/LSB/USB from 26.965 MHz à 27.405 MHz 50 ohms 13.2 V 200 (L) x 207.5 (H) x 58 (D) 1.8 kg microphone with support, mounting cradle, screws. 2) TRANSMISSION: - Frequency allowance - Carrier power - Transmission interference - Audio response - Emitted power in the adj.
Press the «push-to-talk» switch and announce your message «Attention stations, transmission testing» which will allow you to check the clearness and the power of your signal. Release the switch and wait for a reply. You should receive a reply like, «Strong and clear». If you use a calling channel (19, 27) and you have established communication with someone, it is common practice to choose another available channel so as not to block the calling channel.
