Welcome to the world of the new generation of CB
radios. 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 HARRISON ASC is a new step in
personal communications 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 HARRISON ASC.
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-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 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:
D
). 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 p 27 § 5, Adjustment of SWR).
- 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
).
