INTRODUCTION
KENWOOD welcomes you to the Business Radio Service
(BRS). Your KENWOOD 2-way Business Radio is called a
'Iransceiveh’, meaning ‘Iransmitter and receiver”.
For your convenience, this transceiver is equipped with
automatic squelch control which quiets your transceiver
when you are not receiving any calls. For your privacy, this
transceiver provides you with a feature called Quiet Talk
(QT). This feature allows you to use the same channel as
others without having to listen to their conversations.
Another feature of this transceiver is its sliding battery pack
which simplifies installing, removing, and charging.
Your transceiver provides safety and convenience almost
anywhere, indoors or out. It follows both EMI
(Electromagnetic interference) and military standards. The
communications range depends on your location, and can
be up to 5 miles (8 km) in open areas (refer to the chart
below for talk ranges).
This KENWOOD transceiver is a precision device. Treat it
with care, and you will enjoy years of reliable operation.

PREPARATION
■ Installing/ Removing the NiCd Battery Pack
The battery pack is not charged at the factory;
charge it before use {page 19}.
Average battery pack life:
• KNB-14 (supplied): 8 hours (ProTaik™ VHF/UHF)
• KNB-15A (optional): 10 hours (ProTalk^^ VFIF/ UFIF)
Average times are calculated using 5% transmit
time, 5% receive time, and 90% standby time.
CAUTION:
♦ DO NOT SHORT THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR DISPOSE
OF THE BATTERY BY FiRE.
♦ NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CASING FROM THE
BATTERY PACK.
1 Match the four grooves of
the battery pack with the
corresponding guides on
the back of the
transceiver.
2 Slide the battery pack
along the back of the
transceiver until the
release latch on the base
of the transceiver locks.
3 To remove the battery
pack, puli back on the
release latch and slide
the pack away from the
transceiver.
Page 10
Installing the Antenna

connector on the top of the
transceiver by holding the
antenna at its base and
turning it clockwise until
secure.
Note: The antenna is neither a
handle, a key ring retainer, nor a
speaker/ microphone attachment
point. Using the antenna in these
ways may damage the antenna and
degrade your transceivers
performance.
Installing the Belt Clip
If necessary, attach the belt
clip using the two supplied
3x8 mm screws.
Note: If the belt clip is not installed,
its mounting location may get hot
during continuous transmission or
when left sitting in a hot environment.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE GLUE
WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT
SCREW LOOSENING WHEN
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP. AS IT
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
TRANSCEIVER. ACRYLIC ESTER.

QUIET TALK (QT)
QT allows you to hear only signals on your channel
which are coded to match your transceiver. When a
received signal has a code different from the one set up
in your transceiver, squelch will not open and you will
not hear the signal. When a received signal has a code
that matches your code, squelch will open and you will
hear the signal.
Likewise, when you transmit on a channel set up with
QT, the receiving station must have a matching code in
order to hear your signal.
• QT tones are selected from 38 standard signalling codes
(see the table below).
• Selecting "OO’* will turn signalling OFF.

TRANSCEIVER FUNCTIONS
Time-out Timer (TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any
single person from using a channel for an extended
period of time.
If you continuously transmit for 3 minutes, the
transceiver will stop transmitting and a tone will
sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.
You can press the PTT switch again to resume
transmitting.
Battery Save
The Battery Save function decreases the amount of
power used when a signal is not being received and
no operations are being performed (no keys are
being pressed, and no switches are being turned).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is
performed for 10 seconds, Battery Save is enabled.
When a signal is received or an operation is
performed, Battery Save is disabled.
Low Battery Warning
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery
needs to be recharged.
While transmitting, if the battery power goes below a
pre-determined value, the LED will blink red. When
a tone sounds, the transceiver stops transmitting.
Replace or recharge the battery pack.
18
Page 25
CHARGING THE NiCd BAHERY PACK
Initially charging the battery pack after purchase or
extended storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring
the battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After
repeating the charge/discharge cycle two or three times,
the operating capacity will increase to normal.
CAUTION:
♦ DO NOT RECHARGE THE BATTERY PACK IF IT IS ALREADY
FULLY CHARGED. DOING SO MAY CA USE THE LIFE OF THE
BATTERY PACK TO SHORTEN OR THE BATTERY PACK MAYBE
DAMAGED.
♦ AFTER RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK. DISCONNECT IT
FROM THE CHARGER. CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK FOR
MORE THAN 5 DAYS MAY REDUCE THE BATTERY PACK LIFE
DUE TO OVERCHARGING.
Note:
♦ The ambient temperature should be between 41 and 104~F
(5 and 40^C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside this
range may not fully charge the battery.
♦ Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a NiCd battery
pack before charging. Using the transceiver while charging its
battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
♦ The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases
even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery'
pack.
