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

ìTURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIOî 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.

i

PRECAUTIONS

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:

ï6 mm (1/4 inch) or larger electric drill

ï4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit for the 5 x 16 mm self-tapping screws

ï3.2 mm (1/8 inch) drill bit for the 4 x 16 mm self-tapping screws

ïCircle 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.

1Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power cable can be passed through.

ïIf no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber grommet.

2Run the two power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine compartment, from the passenger compartment.

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

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

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

ïBe 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, so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.

1Mark 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.

ïBe 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.

3Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied hex-headed screws.

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

ïThe 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 one that is rated with a higher value.
