change or modification is made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

•Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
NOTICESTOTHEUSER
◆ Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed radio transmitters within the territories
under government control.
◆ Illegal operation is punishable by fine or imprisonment or both.
◆ 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.
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
two to three feet 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.
PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and
transceiver damage.
•Do not attempt to configure the transceiver while driving; it is too dangerous.
•Do not modify the transceiver for any reason.
•Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight, nor place it
near heating appliances.
•Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty, humid, or wet areas, nor on

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 that make of vehicle and enlist their aid in
determining if the equipment 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:
•6 mm (1/4 inch) or larger electric drill
• 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit for 5 x 16 mm self-tapping screws
• 3.2 mm (1/8 inch) drill bit for 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.
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 the provided cable tie.
• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for
servicing while keeping the power applied.

INSTALLINGTHE TRANSCEIVER
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely, using the supplied mounting bracket, 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 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 and ventilation.
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 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.
5 Connect the microphone plug to the microphone jack on the front panel of the
transceiver, then place the microphone on the hanger.
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.
