Welcome to the world of the new generation of transceiver radios. The new
PRESIDENT range gives you access to top performance transceiver equipment.
With the use of up-to-date technology, which guarantees unprecedented
quality, your PRESIDENT RICHARD is a new step in personal communication and
is the surest choice for the most demanding of radio amateur 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 RICHARD.
A) INSTALLATION
1) WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR TRANSCEIVER
a)
You should choose a well ventilated place most appropriate setting from
a simple and practical point of view.
b)
Your transceiver 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-tapping screws
(
2
) provided (drilling diameter 0.126 in / 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 transceiver 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 situ-
ated on the back panel:
C
). Ask your dealer for advice on mounting your
transceiver.
2) ANTENNA INSTALLATION
a)
Choosing your antenna
-
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 transceiver
antenna should be higher than this.
