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.
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 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:

●
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.
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.
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.
When using the transceiver, refer to the “NOTICES TO THE USER” and “PRECAUTIONS”. If the
warnings are not observed, there may be possibility of malfunction. In this case, press and hold the Power
Switch for 5 seconds or more. If the malfunction persists, ask your dealer.

PREPARATION
WARNING
Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from
the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Typical examples include electronic
fuel injection, anti-skid braking, and cruise control. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult
the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally
while transmitting.
o
Connecting the power cable
CAUTION
The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage
of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.
1
Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power
cable can be passed through.
●
If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill a hole, then install a rubber grommet.
2
Run the power cable through the firewall and into the engine compartment.
3
Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the
negative (–) battery terminal.
●
Place the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4
Coil the surplus cable and secure it with a retaining band.
●
Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for
servicing while keeping the power applied.
o
Installing the transceiver
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.
Note:
●
Before installing the transceiver, check how far the mounting screws will extend below the
surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.
1
Mark the position of the holes in the dash, using the mounting bracket as a
template. Using a 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit, drill the holes, then attach the
mounting bracket using the supplied screws.
●
Mount the transceiver within easy reach of the user and where there is sufficient space
at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.
2
Connect the antenna and the supplied power cable to the transceiver.
3
Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied
hex-headed screws.

The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a place where they will
not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
CAUTION
When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same rating.
Never replace a fuse with one that is rated with a higher capacity.
CAUTION
.
Do not touch the metal surface of the transceiver while it is in use.
Do not mount the transceiver such that the chassis can come in
