THANK YOU
We are grateful you have chosen KENWOOD for your
dPMR446 applications.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Open locations (no obstructions) : Up to 9.0 km
Note:
◆ The above range is based on fi eld testing and may vary with your
operating conditions and individual transceiver.
Digital technology provides superior clarity in extended coverage.
◆
As RF signal strength weakens with distance, analog reception
becomes increasingly noisy and intermittent. dPMR's low BER
improves reception in fringe areas, thereby “effectively” increasing
coverage as much as twenty percent over analog.

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.
• The charger is the device that disconnects the unit from the AC
mains line. The AC plug should be readily accessible.
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
• In explosive atmospheres (infl ammable 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 aircraft. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the instructions
and regulations provided by the airline crew.)
• Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of

• 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 infl ates, 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 traffi c
•
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.
• Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace
only with the same type.
• When attaching a commercial strap to the transceiver, ensure
that the strap is durable. In addition, do not swing the transceiver
around by the strap; you may inadvertently strike and injure
another person with the transceiver.
• If a commercially available neck strap is used, take care not to let
the strap get caught on nearby machine.
• When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is
easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using
an 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.

Information concerning the battery pack:
The battery pack includes fl ammable objects such as organic
solvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture
producing fl ames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other
forms of damage to the battery. Please observe the following
prohibitive matters.
• 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 fl ame.
• 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-necklaces or
hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will
fl ow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into fl ame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.
• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
