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

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not charge the transceiver and battery pack when they are wet.

• Ensure that there are no metallic items located between the
transceiver and the battery pack.

• Do not use options not specifi ed by KENWOOD.

• If the die-cast chassis or other transceiver part is damaged, do not
touch the damaged parts.

• If a headset or headphone is connected to the transceiver, reduce
the transceiver volume. Pay attention to the volume level when
turning the squelch off.

• Do not place the microphone cable around your neck while near
machinery that may catch the cable.

• Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces.

• Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes.

• When the transceiver is used for transmission for many hours, the
radiator and chassis will become hot. Do not touch these locations
when replacing the battery pack.

• Do not immerse the transceiver in water.

• When water gets into the microphone opening or the speaker
grill, the voice level may become incoherent or distorted. Lightly
shake the transceiver to remove the water from the speaker and/or
microphone before operating the transceiver.

• Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional
accessories.

iv

Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:

• Near explosives or blasting sites.

• In aircrafts. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the
instructions and regulations provided by the airline crew.)

• Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of
radio devices, including but not limited to medical facilities.

• Near persons wearing pacemakers.

Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations,
unless the model is specifi cally qualifi ed for such use
(Intrinsically Safe such as approved by Factory Mutual, CSA):

• In explosive atmospheres (infl ammable gas, dust particles,
metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).

• While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.

• Do not remove the black sheet from the reverse side of the
transceiver (refer to the illustration below). Removal of this
sheet decreases the waterproof effi ciency of the transceiver and
may cause malfunctions if water seeps into the transceiver.

• The orange seal on the reverse side of the transceiver is
important with respect to the waterproof effi ciency of the
transceiver. Do not place stickers or other materials on or
around the seal shown in the fi gure, or on the reverse side of
the battery pack. Doing so will impair the waterproof effi ciency
of the transceiver and may cause it to break down. Additionally,
in order to prevent damage to the seal, do not allow it to come
in contact with foreign materials.
