- A fixed antenna should be installed in a clear space as
possible. If it is fixed to a mast, it will perhaps be neces-
sary 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.
3) POWER CONNECTION
Your PRESIDENT BILL ASC 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 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.
WARNING:
Lorries generally have two batteries and
an electrical installation of 24 volts, in which case it will
be necessary to insert a 24/12 volt converter (type CV
24/12 PRESIDENT) into the electrical circuit. The following
connection steps should be carried out with the power
cable disconnected from the set.
a)
Check that the battery is of 12 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:
Nev-
er replace the
original fuse by
one of a differ-
ent value.
4) BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE

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.
