PREPARATION

BATTERY PACK PRECAUTIONS

◆ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged.

◆ After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. If the charger power is reset (turned ON after being turned OFF), recharging will start again and the battery pack will become overcharged.

◆ Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery pack. We recommend you switch the transceiver power OFF while charging is taking place.

◆ Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by fire.

◆ Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.

Information concerning the (optional) Li-ion battery pack:

The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames 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 flame.

• 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-necklace or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. 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 flame.

• Do not use or leave the battery near fires, 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 flame.

• 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 flame.

• Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight!

• Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements!

If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodelled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• 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-circuited. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not jar or throw the battery!

An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. 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 flame.

• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• 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 flame.

• 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 flow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• 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 flame.

• Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!

If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes out with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.

• Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!

If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!

If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it from flammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.

• Do not use an abnormal battery!

If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different coloring, is deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating equipment and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

■ Using the Li-ion Battery Pack

• Charge the battery pack before using it.

•To keep the battery discharge at a minimum, remove the battery pack from the equipment when it is not in use. Store the battery pack in a cool and dry location.

• When storing the battery pack for a long period:

1 Remove the battery pack from the equipment.

2 Discharge the battery pack, if possible. 3 Store the battery pack in a cool (below 25°C/ 77°F) and

dry location.

■ Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack

• As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the battery capacity decreases.

• Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades.

• It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler areas.

• The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances.

• When the battery pack operating time becomes short, even if it is fully charged, replace the battery pack. Continuing to charge and discharge the battery pack may result in electrolyte leakage.

■ Charging the Li-ion Battery Pack

When charging a transceiver with a KNB-24L battery pack, the safety catch of the battery pack may stick out past the battery. When inserting the transceiver with the battery pack into the charger, the safety catch will touch the metal contacts of the charger and the charger LED will momentarily light red. Be sure to push the transceiver fully into the battery pack slot so the safety catch no longer touches the charger terminals. Once in place, the battery pack will begin charging.

For charging procedures, refer to the KSC-25 Instruction Manual.

INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE (OPTIONAL) RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK OR ALKALINE BATTERY CASE

1 Match the guides of the

battery pack with the corresponding grooves on the upper rear of the transceiver, then firmly press the battery pack to lock it in place.

2 Flip the safety catch into

place to prevent accidentally pressing the release latch and removing the battery.

3 To remove the battery pack,

lift the safety catch, press the release latch, then pull the battery pack away from the transceiver.

Note:

◆ To lift the battery pack safety catch, use a piece of hardened plastic or metal, such as a screwdriver, that is no more than 6 mm wide and 1 mm thick. It is imperative that you place the implement under only the lip of the safety catch so that you do not damage the release latch.

◆ Before charging a battery pack that is attached to the transceiver, ensure that the safety catch is firmly closed.

◆ While operating the transceiver using a Li-ion or Ni-MH battery pack in areas with an ambient temperature of –10°C/ +14°F and lower, operating time may be shortened.

INSTALLING/ REMOVING ALKALINE BATTERIES

◆ Do not install batteries in a hazardous environment where sparks could cause an explosion.

◆ Never discard old batteries in fire; extremely high temperatures can cause batteries to explode.

◆ Do not short circuit the battery case terminals.

◆ Do not use commercially available rechargeable batteries.

Note:

◆ If you do not plan to use the transceiver for a long period, remove the batteries from the battery case.

◆ This battery case has been designed for transmitting at a power of approximately 1 W (the low power setting on your transceiver). If you want to transmit a stronger signal (using the high power setting on your transceiver), use an optional rechargeable battery pack.

1 To open the battery case,

press on the 2 tabs on the upper rear of the case then pull the 2 halves apart.

2 Insert 6 AA (LR 6) alkaline

batteries into the battery case.

• Be sure to match the polarities with those marked in the bottom of the battery case.

OPERATING BASICS

SWITCHING POWER ON/ OFF

Turn the Power switch/ Volume control clockwise to switch the transceiver ON.

Turn the Power switch/ Volume control counterclockwise to switch the transceiver OFF.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

Rotate the Power switch/ Volume control to adjust the volume. Clockwise increases the volume and counterclockwise decreases it.

•You may need to adjust the volume more precisely while communicating with other parties.

Note: If your dealer programmed Squelch Off Momentary or Squelch Off Toggle onto a PF key, you can press that key to hear

background noise while adjusting the volume level (refer to “MONITOR” on page 27).

SELECTING A CHANNEL

Rotate the Channel switch to choose your desired channel from 1 to 16. Clockwise increases the number and counterclockwise decreases it.

• If a channel has not been programmed, it cannot be used. When a non-programmed channel is selected, the LED indicator flashes red and orange and an alert tone sounds.

MAKING A CALL

1 Make sure no parties are currently transmitting on your

selected channel.

2 Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone in

your normal speaking voice.

• For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the

microphone approximately 1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth.

3 Release the PTT switch to receive.

RECEIVING A CALL

Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signalling on your transceiver. If your selected channel is programmed with one of these features, you will hear calls only when another party in your system makes a call. All other calls will not be heard.

If your selected channel is not set up with QT or DQT, you will hear calls made by any party (not just those in your system).

SCAN

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.

The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal is no longer present. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and Scan resumption. If a signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.

Note:

◆ You can only use Scan if your dealer has programmed at least 2 channels on the transceiver. Also, there must be at least 2 channels not locked out of Scan.

◆ Ask your dealer for an explanation on how Channel Scan functions when using 5-Tone or DTMF signalling.

To start scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.

• Scanning starts from the current channel and ascends through the channel numbers.

• The LED flashes green.

• When a signal is received on a channel and signalling matches, the LED indicator lights green.

To end Scan, press the Scan key again.

PRIORITY SCAN

If your dealer set up a Priority channel on your transceiver, the transceiver will automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received on a regular channel.

The transceiver will remain on the Priority channel until the signal drops out. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and Scan resumption.

TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT

During Scan, if a key is programmed with the Scan Temporary Delete function, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence. When Scan stops at a channel, you can remove that channel from the scanning sequence by pressing the Scan Temporary Delete key.

•To add the channel back into the Scan list, simply exit Scan mode or switch the transceiver OFF and then ON again.

REVERT CHANNEL

During Scan, pressing the PTT switch to transmit will cause the transceiver to select the revert channel. Your dealer can program the revert channel using one of the following methods:

• Last Called: The last channel received is assigned as the new revert channel.

• Last Used: The last channel responded to is assigned as the new revert channel.

• Selected: The last channel selected is assigned as the new revert channel.

• Selected + Talkback: If the channel has been changed during Scan, the newly selected channel is assigned as the new revert channel. However, the transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan is currently paused.

• Priority: If your dealer has programmed a Priority channel, it is the revert channel.

• Priority + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Priority channel, it is the revert channel. However, the transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan is currently paused.

5-TONE SIGNALLING

5-Tone Signalling is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the 5 tones programmed in your transceiver, in succession. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct tones will not be heard.

Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver.

RECEIVING

When you receive a signal containing the correct tones, squelch opens and you will hear the call.

• The LED indicator flashes orange.

• The LED remains lit after pressing any key.

•To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor Momentary or Monitor Toggle.

•Your dealer can program the squelch to close again after a specific time period elapses. The LED indicator flashes orange (2 seconds) at this time.

• If Transpond for 5-Tone Signalling is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling station.

• If Tone Alert for 5-Tone Signalling is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct tones are received.

TRANSMITTING

To transmit a 5-Tone signal, simply press the PTT switch and make the call. If the selected channel has been programmed with a 5-Tone signal, it will be transmitted when the call is made.

DTMF SIGNALLING

DTMF Signalling is either enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the DTMF code (3 to 10 digits) programmed in your transceiver. Each transceiver is normally programmed with a unique code. You will not hear calls from transceivers that are not programmed with a matching code.

Your dealer may also program a Group Code in your transceiver. Ask your dealer for further details.

When you receive a signal containing the correct tones, squelch opens and you will hear the call.

• The LED indicator flashes orange.

•To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor Momentary or Monitor Toggle.

•Your dealer can program the squelch to close again after a specific time period elapses.

• If Transpond for DTMF Signalling is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling station.

• If Tone Alert for DTMF Signalling is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct tones are received.

FleetSync OPERATION

FleetSync is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation and is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the Fleet code and ID code programmed in your transceiver. Calls that do not contain the correct codes will not be heard.

RECEIVING

When you receive a signal containing both your Fleet code and your ID code, squelch opens and you will hear the call.

• An alert tone will sound.

• The LED indicator flashes orange.

•To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor Momentary or Monitor Toggle.

TRANSMITTING

To transmit a FleetSync signal, simply press the PTT switch and make the call. If the selected channel has been programmed with a FleetSync PTT ID, it will be transmitted when the call is made.

QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)

Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signalling on your transceiver channels. A QT tone/DQT code is a subaudible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.

When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/DQT signalling matches your transceiver.

If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you are using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own private channel while using QT/DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
