NOTICES TO THE USER ..........................................................................3
• Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed radio transmitters within the territories
under government control.
• Illegal operation is punishable by fi ne and/or imprisonment.
• Refer service to qualifi ed technicians only.
Safety: It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards
common to the operation of any transceiver.
• EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)
Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do not
carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk
area.
• INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS
Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either standing near to or touching the antenna,
to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.
• DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS
Operating the transceiver within 500 feet (150 m) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to
explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN
OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your
vehicle, make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit
while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.
One or more of the following statements may be applicable:
FCC WARNING
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this
equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved by the
party responsible/ JVC KENWOOD. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if
an unauthorized change or modification is made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

PRECAUTIONS
Observe the following precautions to prevent fi re, personal injury, and transceiver
damage.
• Do not attempt to confi gure the transceiver while driving; it is too dangerous.
• Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
• Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight, nor place it near heating
appliances.
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, switch the transceiver
power off immediately, and contact your KENWOOD dealer.
• Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffi c laws. Please check and
observe the vehicle regulations in your area.
• Do not use options not specifi ed by KENWOOD.
• Do not put the plastic bag used for packing of this equipment on the place which reaches a small
child's hand. It will become a cause of suffocation if it wears fl atly.
• Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces.
• Keep the volume as low as possible to protect your hearing.
• Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional accessories.
• To dispose of batteries, be sure to comply with the laws and regulations in your country or region.
• The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and
voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.
• Use only the supplied DC power cable or a KENWOOD optional DC power cable.
• Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable.
• Do not place the microphone cable around your neck while near machinery that may catch the
cable.
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using the supplied mounting bracket and
screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.
