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.
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 specified 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.
Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional accessories.
i
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).
While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
Near explosives or blasting sites.
In aircrafts.
In medical institutions or near persons using pacemakers.
Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while the vehicle is running. When the airbag inflates, the transceiver may be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.
Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or if any metallic parts are exposed from the antenna covering. Transmitting at such a time may result in a high-frequency burn.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your KENWOOD dealer.
Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffic laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your area.
Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.
Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals.
When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using a earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.

PREPARATION
BATTERY PACK PRECAUTIONS
Do not use battery packs or battery chargers not recommended by KENWOOD.
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 charge the battery pack when the battery pack or transceiver is wet, to avoid the risk of fire or damage. Wipe the water from the battery pack or transceiver using a dry cloth before charging.
Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by fire.
Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
For charging procedures, refer to the battery charger Instruction Manual.

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! 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.
3
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.
4
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.
6
INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE (OPTIONAL) BATTERY PACK OR BATTERY CASE
1 Align the battery pack with the
back of the transceiver, then press the battery pack and transceiver firmly together until the release latch clicks, locking it in place.
2 Lock 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 on the base of the transceiver, then press the release latch underneath the safety catch while pulling 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.
7
INSTALLING/ REMOVING ALKALINE BATTERIES
Do not install batteries in a hazardous environment where sparks could cause an explosion.
Never discard batteries in fire; extremely high temperatures can cause batteries to explode.
Do not short circuit the battery case terminals.
Do not use 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 two tabs on the upper rear of the case, then pull the two halves apart.
2 Insert 6 AA (LR6) Alkaline
batteries into the battery case.
Be sure to match the polarities with those marked in the bottom of the battery case.
