WARNING!
Before using, be careful never to transmit without first
having connected the antenna, or without having
set - Mversion only - the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) !
Failure to do so may result in destruction of the power
amplifier, which is not covered by the guarantee.
The guarantee of this transceiver is valid only
in the country of purchase.
MULTI-NORMS TRANSCEIVER!
See function “F” on page 11 and the Norms - F
table on page 38.
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 unprec-
edented quality, your PRESIDENT RANDY II 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 RANDY II.
A) RANDY II M - MOBILE CONFIGURATION
1) INSTALLATION
- Connect the antenna cable to the antenna connector from the adapter.
- Plug the cigarette lighter plug in the cigarette lighter socket of the car.
- Clip the adapter on the device. See page 11.
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.

4
- 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
§ 4, 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 to the
adapter.
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 necessary to stay it, according to the laws in force
(you should seek professional advice). All PRESIDENT antennas and acces-
sories are designed to give maximum efficiency to each CB radio within the
range.
3) BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE USING
YOUR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME (without transmitting and
without using the «push-to-talk» switch)
a) Check the antenna connections.
b) Turn the set on by turning the Power knob (12) clockwise.
c) Set the squelch OFF. See § 16.1 page 10.
d) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
e) Go to channel 20 by using the channel selectors (5 & 8).
4) 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.
* Adjustment with external SWR-meter (e.g. TOS-1 PRESIDENT)
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 40 cm cable, type President CA 2C).
b) To adjust the SWR meter:
- Set the CB to channel 20.
- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).
- Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to by using the calibration key.
OUTPUT RADIUS PATTERN

5
- 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.
Your CB is now ready for use.
B) RANDY II P - PORTABLE CONFIGURATION
1) INSTALLATION
- Screw the rubber antenna on the device.
- Clip a full charged battery on the device. See page 11.
Your CB is now ready for use.
