Your PRESIDENT JERRY at a glance

WARNING!
Before using, be careful never to transmit without first having connected the flexible antenna (C2), or, with a CB antenna, 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 warranty.
The flexible antenna (C2) covers all European frequencies (see tables pages 28 to 33).
When the flexible antenna (C2) has been removed and replaced by a CB antenna using the Mobile Charger Module (C3).
Never use two antennas together, otherwise the device may be destroyed.

MULTI-NORMS TRANSCEIVER!
See function “F” on page 20 and the Configuration table on page 34.
The warranty 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 JERRY 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 JERRY.

MOBILE CONFIGURATION

1. ANTENNA INSTALLATION
   – Remove the flexible antenna (C2) from the device.
   – Connect the CB antenna to the mobile charge module (C3).
   – Clip the mobile charge module (C3) to the bottom of the unit in any side.
   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 § 3, 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 to the mobile charge module (C3).
   OUTPUT RADIUS PATTERN 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.

2. BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE
   USING YOUR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME (without transmitting and without using the «push-to-talk» switch)
   a) Check the antenna connections.
   b) Turn the set on by turning the Power knob (1) clockwise.
   c) Set the squelch OFF.
   d) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
   e) Go to channel 20 by using the channel selectors key (3).

3. 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.

• Adjustment with external SWR-meter (e.g. TOS-1 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 15.75 inches / 40 cm, type President CA- 2C).
  b) To adjust the SWR meter:
  – Set the CB on channel 20.
  – Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).
  – 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 REF (reading of the SWR level).
  The reading on the 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 less than to 118.11 inches / 3 m.
   Your CB is now ready for use.

GENERAL WARRANTY CONDITIONS

This device is guaranteed 2 years parts and labour in its country of purchase against any manufacturing defects validated by our technical department. *The After-sales Service of PRESIDENT reserves the right not to apply the warranty if a breakdown is caused by an antenna other than those distributed by PRESIDENT, and if said antenna is at the origin of the breakdown. An extension of 3 years warranty is proposed systematically for the simultaneous purchase of a device and an external mobile PRESIDENT antenna (this does not include the flexible antenna S-20 (C2) for the JERRY unit), bringing the total duration of the warranty to 5 years. In order to be valid, the warranty certificate must be returned within a period of 30 days after the purchase date to the After-sales Service of the company Groupe President Electronics, or any foreign subsidiary.
It is recommended to carefully read the following conditions and to respect them under penalty of losing their benefit.

• To be valid the warranty certificate must be returned to us at the latest 1 month after the purchase.

Exclusions (are not covered):

• Batteries, power transistors, microphones, lights, fuses and the non respect of the installation and use of specifications (including but not limited to antenna used with too high power, final output power transistors (SWR), inversion of polarities, bad connections, overvoltage,….)
• The warranty cannot be extended due to the non-availability of the device while it is being serviced at our technical services location, nor by a change of one or more components or spare parts.
• Transceivers which have been modified. The warranty application is excluded in case of modification or poor maintenance done by a third party not approved by our company.

If you note malfunctions:

• Check the power supply of your device and the quality of the fuse.

• Make sure that the various settings of your device are in the correct position.
• In case the device is not under warranty, the repair and return of the device will be charged.
• All related documents must be preserved even after the end of the warranty period and if you resell your device, given to the new owner for the After-sales follow-up.
• In case of real malfunction, please contact your dealer first; they will decide action to be taken.
• In case of an intervention not covered by the warranty, an estimate will be established before any repair.

Thank you for your trust in the PRESIDENT quality and experience. We recommend that you read this manual carefully so that you are completely satisfied with your purchase.
