Welcome to the world of the new generation of CB radios. The new

PRESIDENT range gives you access to top performance CB equip-

ment. With the use of up-to-date technology, which guarantees

unprecedented quality, your PRESIDENT MC KINLEY II FCC 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 MC KINLEY II FCC.

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 interfere in any way with the driving of the vehicle.

d) To install your equipment, use the cradle (1) and 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.

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 in-

terfering 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 commu-

nications (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.

MOUNTING DIAGRAM

6

- 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) 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.

OUTPUT RADIUS

PATTERN

English

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, 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.

* Adjustment with internal SWR-meter

NEW, EASY AND VERY HANDY- Adjustment of SWR

meter by beep tones

Consult the menu SWR on page 14.

* 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 on channel 20 (27.205 MHz) in AM.

- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).

- Press the PTT switch (13) 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, readjust 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 recalibrate the SWR meter after each ad-

justment of the antenna.

WARNING: In order to avoid any losses and attenuations in ca-

bles 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).

Your CB is now ready for use.
