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 codE 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)

display.
3) DC (Double Colour):
With this key you can change the colour ofthe 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 ciockwise.
5) SQUELCH:
Suppresses undesirable background 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.
6) CHANNEL SELECTOR KEYS
The two keys, CH D and CH V on the microphone and on the front panel, allow you to
go up and down the channels. This can also be done with the channei rotary knob.
CH D key : one quick press allows you to go down by one chonnel, continued pression
allows you to descend five chonnels per second.
CH V key : one quick press allows you to go up by one channel, continued pression
allows you to descend 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 ond 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.
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.
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. 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).
10) MIC GAIN:
a) Is for regulating microphone sensitivity, when using a microphone other than the
one supplied with your PRESIDENT GEORGE (pre-amplified).
b) Also adjusts the sound volume of Public Address mode (see point 17)
The normal setting of this knob is fully clockwise.
11) CLARIFlER:
This function allows a frequency deviation during LSB/USB reception to improve the
ciearness of your correspondent' s voice. This allows a shift of up to 2 kHz around
the reference frequency. The normal setting of this function is fully clockwise.
12) SW / CAL:
Used for the calibration of the SWR meter.

power ;
b) Position "MODE" only works during transmission. Allows modulation measurement
(Voice level). c) Position D calibration of the SWR meter.
See "Adjustment of SWR meter".
d) Position "SWR" reading ofthe SWR value. See "Adjustment of SWR meter".
To use these functions. press the METER key successively in transmission mode. In
reception mode this key locks itself onto position «S/RF».
16) Beep
When you finish speaking and yourelease the "push-to-talk" switch to allowyour
correspondent to speak, a "beep" sounds. Radio CB is what is known as a "simplex"
method of communication, that is to say, that you cannot listen and speak at the
same time (as you can, for example, with the telephone). It was custom to say
"roger" to Indicate to your correspondent that you' d finished speaking and that it
was his turn to [Link] word "roger" has now been replaced with a beep, hence its
name, "Roger Beep".
By depressing this key once, the roger beep is activated as well as the sounding of
all the keys and the word BEEP appears in the display. To cancel out the beep,

An external loudspeaker can be connected to your PRESIDENT GEORGE by the jack plug
situated on the back panel [Link] (E). By pressing the PA key, the message
transmitted into the microphone will be directed towards the external speaker and
be amplified. PA appears in the display and everything else disappears. Hold the
microphone far enough away from this loudspeaker so as to avoid the Larsen effect.
The PA volume is regulated by the [Link] canceI PA, press the "PA" key
and the set returns to the previous configuration.
18) ECHO:
Use of the echo chamber. This function gives a reverberation (echo) effect to your
voice. The level of echo can be adjusted. Ask your dealer to carry out this
adjustment for [Link] can check level of echo either by using the PA function and
connecting a loudspeaker, or by carrying out a trial transmission with a
correspondent.
To activate this function press the PA key once. "ECHO" appears in the display. To
cancel it simply press the same key "ECHO" disappears from the display.

The "SELECT" key allows you to go up or down by 10 channels at a time. It is used
in conjunction with the CH Up and CH Down or with the rotary channel knob.
By pressing this key once, a line appears under the 10 digit to show the channel
and under the 100 digit of the kHz for the frequency. To cancel the underlinings,
re-press the same key.
20) CH 19 (Channel 19 AM):
Channel 19 AM is automaticaily selected when you depress this key.
This function is activated by depressing this key. To return to the previous
configuration re-depress the same key.
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). Dual Watch
returns at the end of the signal unless you go into transmIssion.
To activate this surveillance function, press "DW". "DW" appears in the display To

call up information. It is also possible to define the four memorised channels by
using the keys P1 - P4, thus giving a total of 16 possible memories.
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.
This function is activated by depressing the SCAN key and «SCAN» appears in the
display. The ievel of the signal is defined by using the squelch button. To cancel,
