SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your KT-950EE radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only ",meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals
aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.This radio is NOT
intended for use by the "General Population" in an uncontrolled environment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The transceiver is a micro-miniature multiband FM transceiver with extensive receive
frequency coverage, providing local-area two-way amateur communications along with unmatched monitoring capability.
We appreciate your purchase of our transceiver, and encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, and learn about many exciting features.
Electromagnetic Interfe rence/Compatibility
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems .To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Cont rolled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
NOTICE !
It is recommended to carefully read this owner’s manual before using the product. This will also help the user to prevent using the radio in violation of the regulations valid in the country where the product is used, as well as to avoid any possible interferences with other services.
NOTICE !
This transceiver has been factory programmed, in order to use the product immediately after purchase. The programming includes the activation of channels/frequencies in the VHF and UHF FM Amateur Bands, according to the technical rules in force for the use of this bands.
NOTICE !
This transceiver is programmable via PC, using the dedicated software and the PC interface cable (optional items). Any programming or modification of the original default setting must be made by a specialised technician or by an authorised service centre. Some functions of this transceiver might be programmed in violation of the technical rules in force for the use of the VHF and UHF FM bands. It is the user’s responsibility to check that any modification to the programming will be done in compliance with the current regulations. Any modification to the product, alteration of the internal circuit, of the external structure of the radio or any programming in violation of the current regulations will automatically void the product certification and your right to use the product. INTEK S.R.L. declines any responsibility concerning any modification of the product, made by the user or by a third party, after delivery of the product.

2002/95/EC
- Refer service to qualified technicians only.
- Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
- Do not expose the transceiver under direct sunlight long or to extremely hot condition.
- Do not place the transceiver on the unstable surface.
- Keep the transceiver out of dust, moisture, water.
- Do not operate the transceiver or charge the battery pack under explosive conditions.
PRECAUTIONS
It is important that the operator is aware of and understands hazards common to the operation of any transceiver.
SAFETY
WARNING
Please turn the transceiver off at the following locations:
In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.). While taking on fuel or while parking at gasoline service stations. Near explosives or blasting sites.
In medical institutes or aircrafts.
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire frequency range of the transceiver. However, for enhanced based station medium-wave and shortwave reception, you may wish to connect an external antenna, as the supplied antenna is ver y smal l and can not be expecte d to provid e high performance at these frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the antenn a an d scre w it ont o the matin g connecto r on the transceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme force. (See PIC 1)

PIC 1
EXTERNAL EAR-MIC INSTALLATION
Insert the optional earset/microphone plugs into the SP.&MIC. Jacks of the transceiver. (See PIC 3)
PIC 3
PIC 2
Note:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected. When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the upper part of antenna while screwing it onto the mating connector on the transceiver. If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR presented to the transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feed line loss.
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
If necessary, install the belt clip into the location on the back of the battery. (See PIC 2)
Note:
Do not use the glue to fasten the screw, while installing the belt clip. Otherwise, the acrylic acid of the glue may damage the battery panel.
- 3 -
BATTERY PACK INSTALLATION
The battery pack is a high-performance Li-ion battery providing high capacity in a very
compact package. Under normal use, the battery may be used for approximately 400
charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to decrease. If you have an
older battery that is displaying diminished capacity, you should replace the battery with a
new one. Installation of the battery is easy and quick:
1.Slide the Battery Cover to the Unlock position and then slide the Battery Cover toward
the bottom to remove it.
2.Install the battery into the Battery Compartment.
3.Replace the Battery Cover and then slide the Battery Cover Latch into the Lock position.

Important Note:
1) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range is +5° ~+35°.Charge
out of this range could cause damage to the battery pack.
2) If the charge is not completed in several hours, the battery may be deteriorated. Do not
attempt to forcibly charge the battery, please contact the dealer.
3) If you do not use the transceiver for a long time, remove the battery pack from the
transceiver, as battery leakage could cause damage to the transceiver and the battery pack.
4) While in storage, the charge will drain slightly over time and the battery should be recharged
50% each six months.
PIC 5
is available, the optional DC Adapter (with its cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for charging the battery. While the battery is being charged, the display will indicate
( See PIC 5) , this S-mete r will deflec t accordin g to the charging status, and the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red. When the charging is finished, the TX indicator will glow green.
The charger is only designed for the charging of our battery, and is not suitable for other purposes. Please be advised that th e charge r may contribut e noise to TV and radi o reception in the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.
