Antenna Installation - PRESIDENT BILLY Manual Del Usuario

Welcome to the world of the new CB radios generation.
The new PRESIDENT range gives you access to top
performance CB equipment. Using up-dated
technology, which guarantees unprecedented quality,
your PRESIDENT BILLY is a new step in personal commu-
nication 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 BILLY.
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 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 provided cradle (1) and the self-tapping
screws [2] (drilling diameter 3.2 mm). Take care not to damage the vehicle's
electrical system while drilling the dash board.
e) 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.

2) ANTENNA INSTALLATION:

a) Choosing your antenna:
- For CB radios, the longer the antenna is, the better are its results. Your dealer
will be able to help you with your antenna choice.
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 smaller ground planes (see
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
breakdown and/or short-circuit).
- Connect the antenna (10).
c) Fixed antenna:
- A fixed antenna should be installed in a space as clear 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.
