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.
