• 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 use options not specified by KENWOOD.
◆ 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 the supplied DC power cable or a KENWOOD optional DC power cable.
◆ Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable.
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using the supplied mounting bracket and screw

i
NOTICES TO THE USER
◆ Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed 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.
◆ 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.
◆ INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS
Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either touching the antenna or standing within
2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) of it, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical
injury.
◆ 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.
One or more of the following statements may be applicable:
FCC WARNING

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, anti-skid
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 5 x 16 mm self-tapping screws
• 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) drill bit for the 4 x 16 mm self-tapping screws
• 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.
◆ Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder from the DC power cable.
1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the
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 the supplied 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 the supplied
5 x 16 mm 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 the supplied power cable to the transceiver.
3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the
supplied hex-headed screws.
4 Mount the microphone hanger, using the supplied 4 x 16 mm self-tapping
screws, in a location where it will be within easy reach of the user.
• The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a place where they
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.
