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 the § ADJUSTMENT OF SWR
on page 6).
-
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).

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, ac-
cording 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 MC KINLEY II FCC 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 or 24 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.
a)
Check that the battery is of 12 or 24 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 some cases, increase
the likelihood of interference).
d)
Connect the red wire (+) to the positive terminal of the battery
and the black (-) wire
to the negative termi-
nal of the battery.
e)
Connect the power
cable to your CB radio.
WARNING: Never re-
place the original fuse
with a fuse of a different
rating.
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 volume knob (1) clockwise.
d)
Turn the squelch SQ knob (2) to minimum (M position).
e)
Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
f)
Go to channel 20 by using the CH rotary knob or UP/DN buttons
(6) on the microphone.
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.
