CAUTION
• Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
• Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while the vehicle is running. When the airbag infl ates, the transceiver may be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove the battery pack from the transceiver, 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 expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.
• Do not carry the battery pack with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals.
• Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace only with the same type.
• When attaching a commercial strap to the transceiver, ensure that the strap is durable. In addition, do not swing the transceiver around by the strap; you may inadvertently strike and injure another person with the transceiver.
• If a commercially available neck strap is used, take care not to let the strap get caught on nearby machine.
• When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using an earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.
• Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight, nor place it near heating appliances.

Information concerning the battery pack:
The battery pack includes fl ammable objects such as organic solvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing fl ames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.
DANGER
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklaces or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will fl ow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.
• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not leave the battery near fi re, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other means!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not charge the battery near fi re or under direct sunlight!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.

DANGER
• Use only the specifi ed charger and observe charging requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecifi ed conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into fl ame. If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may fl ow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
