Welcome to the world of the new generation of CB
radios. The new PRESIDENT range gives you access to
topperformanceCBequipment.Withthe useof up-to-
date technology, which guarantees unprecedented
quality, your PRESIDENT BILL 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 BILL 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 in any way interfere with the driving
of the vehicle.
Mounting with the cradle (diagram 1)
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.
Diagram 1
English

Mounting with the quick fixation clip (diagram 2)
d) To install your equipment,
use the quick fixation clip
(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) Choose where to place
the microphone support
and remember that the
microphone cord must
stretchtothedriverwithout
interferingwith the controls
of the vehicle.
f) Slide the unit into the slide
of the support and fix it by
clipping the side tabs into
the notches of the CB (3).
- Note: 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.SPsituated ontheback
panel: C). Ask your dealer for advice on mounting your
CB radio.
2) ANTENNA INSTALLATION
a) Choosing your antenna
- ForCBradios, thelongerthe antenna, thebetterits 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.
- Ifyou alreadyhave aradio-telephoneantenna 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 § ADJUSTMENT OF SWR page 7).
- 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).

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 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 PRESIDENTBILLIIFCCisprotectedagainst aninversion
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 trucks are negative ground. 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: Trucks 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) Locatethe positiveandnegative terminals of thebattery
(+isred and-is black).Should itbe necessary tolengthen
the power cable, you should use the same or a superior
type of cable.
c) Itis necessarytoconnect your CBtoa 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: Never
replace the orig-
inal fuse by one
of a different
value.
4) BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE
USING YOUR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME (without trans-
mitting 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 VOL (1)
clockwise,
d) Turn the squelch SQ knob (2) to minimum (Mposition),
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level,
f) Go to channel 20 using either s/tkeys (3) on the unit
or the UP/DN keys (3) on the microphone.
5) ADJUSTMENT OF SWR (Standing wave ratio)
WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your
English

8
CB radio for the first time (and whenever you re-position
your antenna). The adjustment must be carried out in an
obstacle-free area.
* Adjustment with external SWR-meter (e.g. TOS-1 PRESI-
DENT)
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” / 40 cm cable, type President CA-2C).
b) To adjust the SWR meter
- Set the CB on channel 20.
- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (cali-
bration).
- Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone (11)
to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to tby 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, re-adjust your antenna
to obtain a reading as close as possible to 1. (An SWR
reading between 1 and 1.8 is acceptable).
- It will be necessary to re-calibrate the SWR meter after
each adjustment of the antenna.
WARNING: In order to avoid any losses and attenuations
in cables used for connection between the radio and
its accessories, PRESIDENT recommends to use a cable
with a length less than 118.11” / 3 m.
Your CB is now ready for use.
B) HOW TO USE YOUR CB
1) ON/OFF - VOLUME
a) To turn the set on, turn the VOL knob (1) clockwise.

grammed microphone type is displayed for 2 seconds
(consult the menu MIC TYPE page 14).
See FUNCTIONS TURNING ON THE UNIT on page 12.
b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further
clockwise.
2) ASC (Automatic Squelch Control) / SQUELCH
Suppresses undesirable background noises when there
is no communication. Squelch does not affect neither
sound nor transmission power, but allows a considerable
improvement in listening comfort.
a) ASC: AUTOMATIC SQUELCH CONTROL
