NOTICES TO THE USER
◆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.
WARNING
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 injur y.
◆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 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 obser ve 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 built-in battery, be sure to comply with the laws and regulations in your country or region.
CAUTION
◆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.
◆When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value.
Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.
WARNING
◆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.
CAUTION
Do not touch the metal surface of the transceiver while it is in use. Do
HOT SURFACE
not mount the transceiver such that the chassis can come in contact with
skin.
High temperatures may burn your skin.

MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
• Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antenna.
• Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: Refer to the values in the table below.
• Antenna Gain: 0 dBd referenced to a dipole.
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF (Radio
Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.
• Antenna Mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not be mounted at a
location such that during radio transmission, any person or persons can come closer than the minimum
safe distance indicated in the table below.
• To comply with current FCC/ ISED RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding
the minimum safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna
manufacturer or supplier.
• Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a vehicle metal roof or trunk lid, if the
minimum safe distance is observed.
• Base Station Installation: The antenna should be fi xed-mounted on an outdoor permanent structure. RF
Exposure compliance must be addressed at the time of installation.
Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer or radio dealer.
You may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio
dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions.
WARNING
Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) of at least the distance indicated in the table
below.
You, as the qualifi ed end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to
ensure the minimum separation distance (table below) is maintained between the antenna and nearby
persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the
requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use, transmit only when
person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna.
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away
from the antenna/vehicle.
