Antenna Installation - PRESIDENT TAYLOR FCC Manuel D'utilisation

Welcome to the world of the new generation of CB 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 TAYLOR FCC 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 care-
fully this manual before installing and using your PRESIDENT TAYLOR FCC 12/24 V.
A) INSTALLATION
1) WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR MOBILE CB RADIO
a) You should choose a well ventilated place 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 1.126" / 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 transceiver
antenna should be higher than this.
