Welcome to the world of the new generation of CB radios. The new EMPEROR range gives you access to top performance CB equipment. With the use of up-to-date technology, which guarantees unprecedented quality, your EMPEROR KENJI 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 EMPEROR KENJI.

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.

MOUNTING DIAGRAM

b) Your CB radio should not interfere with the driver or the passengers.
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.
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 § 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 EMPEROR KENJI 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 knob VOLUME (1) clockwise.
d) Turn the SQUELCH knob to minimum (anti-clockwise).
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
f) Go to Channel 20 using the rotary knob on the front panel or UP/DOWN button on microphone (4).

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 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.

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

2) ASC (Automatic Squelch Control)/SQUEELCH

Suppresses undesirable background noises when there are 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) 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, (i.e. fully clockwise) only the strongest signals will be received.
3) CHANNEL SELECTOR ROTARY KNOB

Turning this knob allows you to choose a channel (1-40) for transmitting and receiving.

4) DISPLAY

The display shows the working channel.

5) TRANSMISSION INDICATOR

is active when the PTT key on the mike (8) is pressed to transmit.

6) AM/FM INDICATORS
