Welcome to the world of the new generation of CB ra-
dios. 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 JOHNSON II USA 12/24 V 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 JOHNSON II USA 12/24 V.
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 cradle (1) and the self-tap-
ping screws (2) provided (drilling diameter 3.2 mm). Take
care not to damage the vehicle’s electrical system while
drilling the dash board.
e) 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.
f) 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, it
can be set 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: C). 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 §
ADJUSTMENT OF SWR page 7).
- 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).
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 acces-
sories are designed to give maximum efficiency to each
CB radio within the range.
3) POWER CONNECTION
Your PRESIDENT JOHNSON II USA 12/24 V 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 terminal of
the battery.
e) Connect the power cable to your CB radio.
WARNING: Never replace the original fuse (2 A) by one of
a different value.
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 s, t, UP or DN keys (4, 5, 15,
14).
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.
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) cable, type President CA 2C).
b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB to channel 20.
- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibra-
tion).
- Press the “push-to-talk” switch on the microphone to trans-
mit.
- Bring the index needle to t 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. (A 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 inferior to 118.11 inches (3 m).
Adjustment with internal SWR-meter
Short press •F/MEM key (6) and s (4) or UP (14) key to switch
on (/off) the SWR function (see § •SWR page 8). SWR
level is displayed. When finished, switch off the function.
Your CB is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR CB
1) ON/OFF – VOLUME
a) To turn the set on, turn the VOL knob (1) clockwise.
b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further
clockwise.

Bienvenue dans le monde des émetteurs-récepteurs
CB de la dernière génération. Cette nouvelle gamme
de postes vous fait accéder à la communication élec-
tronique la plus performante. Grâce à l’utilisation de
technologies de pointe garantissant des qualités sans
précédent, votre PRESIDENT JOHNSON II USA 12/24 V est
un nouveau jalon dans la convivialité et la solution par
excellence pour le pro de la CB le plus exigeant. Pour
tirer le meilleur parti de toutes ses possibilités, nous vous
conseillons de lire attentivement ce mode d’emploi
avant d’installer et d’utiliser votre CB PRESIDENT JOHN-
SON II USA 12/24 V.
A) INSTALLATION
1) CHOIX DE L’EMPLACEMENT ET MONTAGE DU POSTE
MOBILE
a) Choisissez l’emplacement le plus approprié à une utilisation
simple et pratique de votre poste mobile.
b) Veillez à ce qu’il ne gêne pas le conducteur ni les passagers
du véhicule.
c) Prévoyez le passage et la protection des différents câbles,
(alimentation, antenne, accessoires...) afin qu’ils ne vien-
nent en aucun cas perturber la conduite du véhicule.
d) Utilisez pour le montage le berceau (1) livré avec l’appa-
reil, fixez-le solidement à l’aide des vis auto taraudeuse (2)
fournies (diamètre de perçage 3,2 mm). Prenez garde de
ne pas endommager le système électrique du véhicule
lors du perçage du tableau de bord.
e) Lors du montage, n’oubliez pas d’insérer les rondelles de
caoutchouc (3) entre le poste et son support. Celles-ci
jouent en effet un rôle «d’amortisseur» et permettent une
orientation et un serrage en douceur du poste.
f) Choisissez un emplacement pour le support du micro et
prévoyez le passage de son cordon.
- NOTA : Votre poste mobile possédant une prise micro en
façade peut être encastré dans le tableau de bord. Dans
ce cas, il est recommandé d’y adjoindre un haut-parleur
externe pour une meilleure écoute des communications
(connecteur EXT.SP. situé sur la face arrière de l’appareil :
C). Renseignez-vous auprès de votre revendeur le plus
proche pour le montage sur votre appareil.

2) INSTALLATION DE L’ANTENNE
a) Choix de l’antenne
- En CB, plus une antenne est grande, meilleur est son ren-
dement. Votre Point Conseil saura orienter votre choix.
b) Antenne mobile
- Il faut l’installer à un endroit du véhicule où il y a un maximum
de surface métallique (plan de masse), en s’éloignant des
montants du pare-brise et de la lunette arrière.
- Dans le cas où une antenne radiotéléphone est déjà ins-
tallée, l’antenne CB doit être au-dessus de celle-ci.
- Il existe 2 types d’antennes : les préréglées et les réglables.
- Les préréglées s’utilisent de préférence avec un bon plan
de masse (pavillon de toit ou malle arrière).
- Les réglables offrent une plage d’utilisation beaucoup plus
large et permettent de tirer parti de plans de masse moins
importants (voir § RÉGLAGE DU TOS page 20).
- Pour une antenne à fixation par perçage, il est nécessaire
d’avoir un excellent contact antenne/plan de masse ; pour
cela, grattez légèrement la tôle au niveau de la vis et de
l’étoile de serrage.
- Lors du passage du câble coaxial, prenez garde de ne pas
le pincer ou l’écraser (risque de rupture ou de court-circuit).
- Branchez l’antenne (B).
c) Antenne fixe
- Veillez à ce qu’elle soit dégagée au maximum. En cas de
fixation sur un mât, il faudra éventuellement haubaner
conformément aux normes en vigueur (se renseigner auprès
d’un professionnel). Les antennes et accessoires PRESIDENT
sont spécialement conçus pour un rendement optimal de
chaque appareil de la gamme.
3) CONNEXION DE L’ALIMENTATION
Votre PRESIDENT JOHNSON II USA 12/24 V est muni d’une
protection contre les inversions de polarité. Néanmoins,
avant tout branchement, vérifiez vos connexions.
Votre poste doit être alimenté par une source de courant
continu de 12 ou 24 Volts (A). À l’heure actuelle, la plupart
des voitures et des camions fonctionnent avec une mise à
la masse négative. On peut s’en assurer en vérifiant que la
borne (-) de la batterie soit bien connectée au bloc mo-
teur ou au châssis. Dans le cas contraire, consultez votre
revendeur.
a) Assurez-vous que l’alimentation soit bien de 12 ou 24 Volts.
b) Repérez les bornes (+) et (-) de la batterie (+ = rouge, - =
noir). Dans le cas où il serait nécessaire de rallonger le cordon
d’alimentation, utilisez un câble de section équivalente ou
supérieure.
LOBE DE RAYONNEMENT

c) Il est nécessaire de se connecter sur un (+) et un (-) perma-
nents. Nous vous conseillons donc de brancher directement
le cordon d’alimentation sur la batterie (le branchement sur
le cordon de l’autoradio ou sur d’autres parties du circuit
électrique pouvant dans certains cas favoriser la réception
de signaux parasites).
d) Branchez le fil rouge (+) à la borne positive de la batterie
et le fil noir (-) à la borne négative de la batterie.
e) Branchez le cordon d’alimentation au poste.
ATTENTION : Ne jamais remplacer le fusible d’origine (2 A)
par un modèle d’une valeur différente !
4) OPÉRATIONS DE BASE À EFFECTUER AVANT LA PREMIÈRE
UTILISATION, SANS PASSER EN ÉMISSION (sans appuyer
sur la pédale du micro)
a) Branchez le micro,
b) Vérifiez le branchement de l’antenne,
c) Mise en marche de l’appareil : tournez le bouton de volume
VOL (1) dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre jusqu’à
entendre un “clic”.
d) Tournez le bouton du squelch SQ (2) au minimum (position
M).
e) Réglez le bouton VOLUME à un niveau convenable.
f) Amenez le poste sur le canal 20 à l’aide des touches s/t
(4/5) ou UP/DN (14/15) du microphone.
5) RÉGLAGE DU TOS (Taux d’ondes stationnaires)
ATTENTION : Opération à effectuer impérativement lors de
la première utilisation de l’appareil ou lors d’un change-
ment d’antenne. Ce réglage doit être fait dans un endroit
dégagé, à l’air libre.
Réglage avec TOS-mètre externe (type TOS-1 PRESIDENT)
a) Branchement du Tos-mètre :
- Brancher le Tos-mètre entre le poste et l’antenne, le plus
près possible du poste (utilisez pour cela un câble de 15,75
pouces (40 cm) maximum type CA-2C PRESIDENT).
b) Réglage du Tos :
- Amener le poste sur le canal 20,
- Positionner le commutateur du Tos-mètre en position FWD
(calibrage),
- Appuyer sur la pédale du micro pour passer en émission,
- Amener l’aiguille sur l’index t à l’aide du bouton de ca-
librage,
- Basculer le commutateur en position REF (lecture de la
valeur du TOS). La valeur lue sur le vu-mètre doit être très
proche de 1. Dans le cas contraire, rajuster votre antenne
jusqu’à obtention d’une valeur aussi proche que possible
de 1 (une valeur de TOS comprise entre 1 et 1,8 est ac-
ceptable),
- Il est nécessaire de recalibrer le Tos-mètre, entre chaque
opération de réglage de l’antenne.
Remarque : Afin d’éviter les pertes et atténuations dans
les câbles de connexion entre la radio et ses accessoires,
PRESIDENT recommande une longueur de câble inférieure
à 118,11 pouces (3 m).
Réglage avec le TOS-mètre intégré
Appuyer brièvement sur la touche •F/MEM (6) puis sur
la touche s (4) ou UP (14) pour activer (/désactiver) la
fonction SWR (voir § •SWR page 21). La valeur du TOS
est indiqué dans l’afficheur. Quand le réglage est terminé,
désactiver la fonction SWR.
Maintenant, votre poste est prêt à fonctionner.
