Welcome to the world of the 3
rd
generation of CB radios.
The new PRESIDENT INTERACTIVE range gives you access
to top performance CB equipment. With the use of up-
to-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. 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 GEORGE.
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.
c) Remember that maximum visibility of the LCD display is at an angle of vision
between -20° and +60°.
ANGLE OF VISION
d) 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.
e) To mount your CB radio you should use the cradle [1] supplied which must be
firmly fixed using the self-tapping screws [2] provided (drilling diameter 3.2
mm). Take care not to damage the vehicle’s electrical system while drilling
the dash board.
f) 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.
g) 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, you can set it 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 : D). 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 «How to Adjust SWR», page 41).
- 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 b e
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 a 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.
3) POWER CONNECTION:
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. 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) So that you do not have to re-enter the code (security code system) each time
you start the vehicle’s engine, you should connect your CB to a permanent
(+) and (-). We advise you therefore 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 (5A) by one of a different value.
f) If you disconnect the power supply, the equipment will automatically go into
protection mode and will ask you to re-enter the access code when you re-
connect the power.

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):
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.
Press «PROGRAM» key four times (access code pre-determined in the factory).
Each time you press a key, the counter in the display increases by one. Press
the «POWER» key once. Your CB radio will light up and automatically go to
Channel 19, in AM. (MIC GAIN and RF GAIN set to maximum).
If you make a mistake while entering your access code, press any key (several
times, if necessary) until
flashes and then press four times PROGRAM and
then POWER.
d) Turn the squelch knob to minimum (anti-clockwise). Turn the «RF POWER»
switch to maximum (clockwise). Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
e) Go to Channel 20 using either the «CH ▲» key on the microphone or on the
front panel, or the rotary knob.
5) ADJUSTMENT OF SWR (Standing wave ratio):
WARNING : This must be carried out when you use your CB radio for the first time
(and whenever you re-position your antenna). The adjustment must be
carried out in an obstacle-free area.
* Using the integrated SWR meter:
For this, carry out the following steps :
a) Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone and keep it pressed down
throughout the adjustment.
b) Press the «METER» key until ▲ appears in the display.
c) Adjust the SWR/CAL key so that
the 7 rows (like a bar graph ▲) appear in the display, with the RF/POWER knob
turned to maximum.
d) Press again the «METER» key so that «SWR» appears in the display and the ▲
disappears. It is now possible to take the SWR reading. If in the display there
are less than three rows of the bar graph, then the SWR reading is acceptable
(1 being the ideal SWR value). If there are Minimum value more than three
rows, we advise you to re-adjust your antenna and re start the procedure from
step a).
e) Press the «METER» key, with the «push-to-talk» switch pressed down, so that the
equipment is in S/RF mode.

* 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.
6) CHANNEL SELECTOR KEYS «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

then 22 AM.
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)CLARIFIER:
This function allows a frequency deviation during LSB/USB reception to improve
the clearness 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)SWR/CAL:
Used for the calibration of the SWR meter (see «Adjustment of SWR» page 7,
§ 5).
13)HI-CUT:
Cuts out high frequency inter-ference. Its use depends on reception conditions.
Depress the key to use this function, «HICUT» appears in the display. To cancel,
press the same key, «HICUT» disappears from the display.
10
14)NB/ANL:

back ground noise, and some reception interference.
Press once to activate the function. «NB/ANL» appears in the display. To
cancel, press the same key. «NB/ANL» disappears from the display.
15)METER:
This key has several functions :
a) Position «S/RF» : for taking a V.U. meter reading of transmission and reception
power ;
b) Position «MODE» only works during transmission. Allows modulation
measurement (voice level).
c) Position ▲ : calibration of the SWR meter.
See «Adjustment of SWR meter» page 7, § 5.
d) Position «SWR» : reading of the SWR value.
See «Adjustment of SWR meter», page 7, § 5.
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 you release the «push-to-talk» switch to allow
your 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 talk. The 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, depress the same key. The sound level of the beep can be
adjusted by using the VOLUME knob.
17)PA (Public Address):
An external loud speaker can be connected to your PRESIDENT GEORGE by
the jack plug situated on the back panel PA.SP (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 loud
speaker so as to avoid the Larsen effect.
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.
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 you. You can check level of echo either by using the PA
function and connecting a loud speaker, 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.
19)SELECT:
The "SELECT" key allows you to go up or down by 10 channels at a time. It is

12
- Press «CH19»
Set goes directly to Channel «CH19».
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 cancel, press the same key. «DW» disappears from the display.
Example:
