Thank You

We are grateful you have chosen Kenwood for your personal mobile applications.

This instruction manual covers only the basic operations of your mobile radio. Ask your dealer for information on any customized features that may have been added to your radio.

noTices To The user

u Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed transmitters within the territories under

government control.

u Illegal operation is punishable by fine and/or imprisonment. u 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.

u EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.) Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do not carry

spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk area.

u INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either standing near to or touching the

antenna, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.

u DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS Operating the transceiver within 500 feet (150 m) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them

to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.

PREPARATION

Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Electronic fuel injection, antiskid braking, and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally while transmitting.

Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your Kenwood dealer, an authorized Kenwood service facility, or the factory.

ToolS required

Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below the mounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.

The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:

• 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger electric drill

• 5/32 inch (4.2 mm) drill bit for the self-tapping screws used to mount the optional mounting bracket

• Circle cutters

power cAble connecTion

◆ The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and

voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.

◆ Use only a Kenwood optional DC power cable.

◆ Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable.

1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where a power

cable can be passed through. If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber grommet.

2 Run the two power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine

compartment, from the passenger compartment.

3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to

the negative (–) battery terminal.

• Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.

4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.

• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for servicing while keeping the power applied.

inSTAlling The TrAnSceiver

For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket and screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.

1 Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a

template. Drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using self-tapping screws.

• Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy reach of the user and where there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.

2 Connect the antenna and power cable to the transceiver. 3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using

hex-headed screws.

4 Mount a microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of

the user.

• The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a location where it will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value. Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.
