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 LINCOLN II + ASC is a new step in personal communication and is the surest choice for the most demanding of radioamateur 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 LINCOLN II + ASC. A) INSTALLATION 1) WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR TRANSCEIVER a) You should choose the most appropriate setting from a simple and practical point of view. b) Your transceiver 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 vehicles electrical system while drilling the dash board. - 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 transceiver radio. 2) ANTENNA INSTALLATION a) Choosing your antenna - For transceiver 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. 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 orienta- tion 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. English 6 - 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 HOW TO ADJUST SWR, below). - 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 a 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 accessories are designed to give maximum efficiency to each transceiver radio within the range. b) Locate the positive and negative terminals of the battery (+ is red and - is black). Should it be necessary to lengthen the power cable, you should use the same or a superior type of cable. c) It is necessary to connect your transceiver to a permanent (+) and (-). We advise you to connect the power cable directly to the battery (as the connection of the transceiver 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 transceiver radio. WARNING: Never replace the original fuse (6 A) by one of a different value. 4) BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE USING YOUR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME (without transmitting 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 (1) clockwise. d) Turn the squelch SQUELCH knob (3) to minimum. e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level. f) Go to channel 20 by using s/t keys (10). 5) HOW TO ADJUST SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) With the integrated SWR meter: Put the unit into AM or FM with the MODE key (18). Using PUSH knob (6), or s/t keys (10) position the unit in the middle of the band (you are advised to check the values obtained on the extreme frequencies, in all cases it is necessary to calibrate). Check that RF PWR knob (2) is at maximum. Press INDIC key (12) in TX mode until “SWR”appear in the display. If neces- sary, adjust your antenna to be close of 01.0. Warning: In order to ovoid any losses and attenuations in cables used for connection between the radio and its accessories, PRESIDENT recommends to use a cable with a length inferior to 3m. Your transceiver is now ready for use. OUTPUT RADIUS PATTERN 3) POWER CONNECTION Your PRESIDENT LINCOLN II + ASC is protected against an inversion of polarities. However, before switching it on, you are advised to check all the connec- tions. Your equipment must be supplied with a continued current of 12 volts (A). Today, most cars and lorries are negative earth. 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: Lorries 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. English 7 B) HOW TO USE YOUR TRANSCEIVER 1) ON/OFF VOLUME Turn on radio: clockwise turn VOLUME knob (1) until radio emit beep and show current channel, radio is on. Turn Off radio: counterclockwise turn VOLUME knob (1)until radio emit click sound ,then radio is off. Volume Adjustment: Radio is on, rotate VOLUME knob (1) to adjust volume. LCD shows “UOLXX” for 5 seconds which means volume level. Total is 56 levels. Clockwise to increase volume.
