NOTICES TO THE USER
•Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed radio transmitters within the territories
under government control.
•Illegal operation is punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.
•Refer service to qualified 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.

PRECAUTIONS
Observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and transceiver
damage.
•Do not attempt to configure 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 traffic laws. Please check and
observe the vehicle regulations in your area.
•Do not use options not specified 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 flatly.
•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 or optional mounting
bracket and screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.
When using the Transceiver, refer to the “NOTICES TO THE USER” and “PRECAUTIONS”. If the
warnings are not observed, there may be the possibility to have any malfunction. In this case, press
and hold the Power Switch for 5 seconds or more. If the malfunction persists, ask your dealer.
