TERMINOS DEL ARGOT CEBEISTA:

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.

MULTI-NORMS TRANSCEIVER!

See § 9 on page 30 and the Configuration table on page 46.

The guarantee of this transceiver is valid only in the country of purchase.

Welcome to the world of the new generation of CB radios. The new PRESIDENT range gives you access to top performance CB equipment. With the use of up-to-date technology, which guarantees unprecedented quality, your PRESIDENT WALKER ASC is a new step in personal communication and is the surest choice for the most demanding of professional CB radio users. To ensure that you make the most of all its capacities, we advise you to read carefully this manual before installing and using your PRESIDENT WALKER ASC.

A) INSTALLATION

1) WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR MOBILE CB RADIO

a) You should choose the most appropriate setting from a simple and practical point of view.
b) Your CB radio should not interfere with the driver or the passengers.

MOUNTING DIAGRAM

c) Remember to provide for the passing and protection of different wires (e.g. power, antenna, accessory cabling) so that they do not in any way interfere with the driving of the vehicle.
d) To install your equipment, use the cradle (1) and the self-tapping screws [2] provided (drilling diameter 3.2mm ). Take care not to damage the vehicle's electrical system while drilling the dash board.
e) Do not forget to insert the rubber joints [3] between the CB and its support as these have a shock-absorbing effect which permits gentle orientation and tightening of the set.
f) Choose where to place the microphone support and remember that the microphone cord must stretch to the driver without interfering with the controls of the vehicle.
- N.B.: As the transceiver has a frontal microphone socket, it can be set into the dash board. In this case, you will need to add an external loud speaker to improve the sound quality of communications (connector EXT.SP situated on the back panel: C). Ask your dealer for advice on mounting your CB radio.

2) ANTENNA INSTALLATION

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.

b) Mobile antenna:

• Must be fixed to the vehicle where there is a maximum of metallic surface (ground plane), away from windscreen mountings.
• If you already have a radio-telephone antenna installed, the CB antenna should be higher than this.
• There are two types of antenna: pre-regulated which should be used on a good ground plane (e.g. car roof or lid of the boot), and adjustable which offer a much larger range and can be used on a smaller ground plane (see p. 29 § 5, Adjustment of SWR).
• For an antenna which must be fixed by drilling, you will need a good contact between the antenna and the ground plane. To obtain this, you should lightly scratch the surface where the screw and tightening star are to be placed.
• Be careful not to pinch or flatten the coaxial cable (as this runs the risk of break down and/or short circuiting).
• Connect the antenna (B).

c) Fixed antenna:

• A fixed antenna should be installed in a clear space as possible. If it is fixed to a mast, it will perhaps be necessary to stay it, according to the laws in force (you should seek professional advice). All PRESIDENT antennas and accessories are designed to give maximum efficiency to each CB radio within the range.

OUTPUT RADIUS PATTERNS

3) POWER CONNECTION

Your PRESIDENT WALKER ASC is protected against an inversion of polarities. However, before switching it on, you are advised to check all the connections. Your equipment must be supplied with a continued current of 12 volts (A). Today, most cars and lorries are negative earth. 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.

WARNING: Lorries generally have two batteries and an electrical installation of 24 volts, in which case it will be necessary to insert a 24/12 volt converter (type CV 24/12 PRESIDENT) into the electrical circuit. The following connection steps should be carried out with the power cable disconnected from the set.

a) Check that the battery is of 12 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 somecases, increase the likelihood of interference).
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 (2 A) 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 clockwise.
d) Turn the SQUELCH knob to minimum (anti-clockwise). Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
e) Go to Channel 20 using either the «UP» «DN» key on the microphone or the rotary knob.

5) ADJUSTMENT OF SWR (Standing wave ratio)

WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your CBradio 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 t 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.

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 3m .

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 knob (1) clockwise
b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise.

BEEP TONE : ON/OFF

Some functions like changing channels, pressure on keys etc. are confirmed by a beep tone. This beep tone can be activated or disactivated by the user by following this procedure :

a) Turn on the power while pressing the mic "UP" switch. Beep tone enable (On)
b) Turn on the power while pressing the mic "DN" switch. Beep tone disable (Off)

2) ASC (Automatic Squelch Control)/SQUEELCH

Suppresses undesirable background noises when there is no communication. Squelch does not effect neither sound nor transmission power, but allows a considerable improvement in listening comfort.

a) ASC: Automatic Squelch Control Worldwide patent, a PRESIDENT exclusivity

No repetitive manual adjustment and a permanent improvement in listening comfort when this function is active. It can be disconnected by turning the switch (2) clockwise, in this case the manual squelch control becomes active again.

b) Manual squelch

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.

3) RF GAIN

This knob is for adjusting sensitivity during reception. For long distance communications RF GAIN should be set to maximum. RF GAIN can be reduced to avoid distortion, when your correspondent is close by and when he does not have RF POWER.

The normal setting of this knob is on maximum (fully clockwise).

4) MIC GAIN

Is for regulating microphone sensitivity, when using a microphone other than the one supplied with your PRESIDENT WALKER ASC. (pre-amplified). The normal setting of this knob is fully clockwise.

5) CHANNEL SELECTOR: Keys «DN» and «UP» on microphone and ROTARY knob

The two keys, «UP» and «DN» on the microphone allow you to go up and down the channels. This can also be done using the channel rotary knob. You can select the channel (1 to 40) of reception or transmission.

6) DISPLAY

The display shows selected channel or the frequency band in use.

7) FM LED

This red led is lighthed in FM mode.

8) RX/TX LED (bicolor led)

RX Led lights when squelch opens (GREEN).

TX Led lights when transmitting mode (RED).

The frequency band must be chosen according to the country where you are going to operate. Do not use another configuration. Some countries require user's licence.

a) Radio set switched OFF.
b) Slide the F/OFF switch on F position.
c) Switch ON the radio.
d) Choose the request configuration with the channel rotary switch.
e) Slide the F/OFF switch on OFF position.
f) And then, for final confirmation of the choice before operating in the configuration, switch OFF then ON the radio set.

See the chart pages 43 to 45.

10)NB/ANL

Noise Blanker/ Automatic Noise Limiter. These filters allow the reduction of background noise, and some reception interference. Unable on OFF position.

11)CB/PA (Public Address)

An external loud speaker can be connected to your PRESIDENT WALKER ASC by the jack plug situated on the back panel PA.SP (D). By selecting the PA position, 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 (acoustic feedback).

PA volume is regulated by the MIC GAIN knob.

12)MODE

Use this key to select AM or FM. The modulation mode must correspond with that of the person with whom you communicate.

AM/ Amplitude Modulation (AM) is for communications in areas where there are obstacles and over medium distances.

FM/ Frequency Modulation (FM) is for nearby communications in flat, open areas (squelch adjustment needs more finesse).

13)CH 19/CH 9

Channels 19 and 9 are automatically selected when you activate this switch. The Mode (AM/FM) of the channel is set according the frequency range in use. See the chart on page 46.

OFF position returns to the previous channel.

14)BARGRAPH

Shows reception and the power transmission levels.

This plug is situated on the front panel, thereby making it easier to set the equipment into the dashboard. See the cabling diagram on page 45.

16)PTT (push to talk)

Press this knob to transmit a message and release to listen to an incoming communication.
