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:

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

• 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit for the 5 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 the surplus cable and secure it 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 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 one that is rated with a higher value.

STUN

This function is used when a transceiver is stolen or lost. When the transceiver receives a call containing a stun code, either transmit mode will be disabled, or both receive mode and transmit mode will be disabled. The stun code is cancelled when the transceiver receives a call with a revive code.

QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)

Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiver channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.

When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your transceiver.

If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you are using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own private channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.

OPERATOR SELECTABLE TONE (OST) (TK-7160/ TK-8160 ONLY)

You can change the preset encode and decode tones for the selected channel. Up to 40 tones can be pre-programmed by your dealer.

1 Select your desired channel. 2 Press the key programmed as Operator Selectable Tone.

3 Press the keys to select the desired OST name/ number. 4 Use the transceiver the same as in a regular call; press the PTT switch to

transmit and release it to receive.

5 To exit OST mode and return to the preset encode and decode tones, press

the S key.

” or the OST name or number appears on the display.

CODE SQUELCH (ID CODE)

Code Squelch is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function turns the transceiver squelch OFF only when it receives the DTMF ID code that has been set up in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct code will not be heard. Consequently, you can communicate with a specific party without listening to other parties using the same channel.

Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful when you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your dealer for details.

Note: Code Squelch cannot be used on this transceiver if Selective Call {page 18} or DTMF Number Display {page 28} have been programmed.

SELECTIVE CALL (TK-7160/ TK-8160 ONLY)

Selective Call is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function is similar to Code Squelch {page 17}. The differences from Code Squelch are:

•You can send or receive Status codes containing up to 5 digits.

• Selective Call opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives a predetermined DTMF code in the correct sequence (3-digit or 4-digit ID code — 1-digit Intermediate code — Status code of up to 5 digits).

Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful when you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your dealer for details.

Note: Selective Call cannot be used on this transceiver if Code Squelch {page 17} or DTMF Number Display {page 28} have been programmed.

RECEIVING

VOICE SCRAMBLER

Note: There are 2 options for using the scrambler. Your dealer can activate or deactivate the built-in scrambler function of the transceiver, or they can add a more secure optional scrambler board to your transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.

Although the built-in scrambler function does not offer complete privacy with your calls, it does prevent others from easily listening in on your calls. When activated, the transceiver distorts your voice so that anybody listening to your conversation will not be able to clearly hear what you are saying.

In order for members of your own group to clearly hear your call while you are using the scrambler, all other members must also activate the scrambler functions on their transceivers. This distorts everybody’s voice while transmitting and corrects the voice message on your own transceiver when you receive the call.

Press the key programmed as Scrambler to activate the Scrambler.

• The

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.

The default TOT duration is 1 minute. Your dealer can set the duration to last from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.

Your dealer can also program a warning function to alert you before the TOT expires. Continuously transmitting for the time specified by your dealer will cause this warning tone to sound, allowing you to finish your transmission before the TOT expires.

BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)

The Busy Channel Lockout feature is activated or deactivated by your dealer. When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may

be using the same channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch to stop the tone and return to receive mode.

BEGINNING/ END OF TRANSMIT SIGNAL

Your dealer can enable or disable the Beginning/ End of Transmit identification signals. These signals are used to access and release some repeaters and telephone systems.

A Beginning of Transmit (BoT) Signal is sent when you press the PTT switch. An End of Transmit Signal (EoT) is sent when you release the PTT switch.

DTMF NUMBER DISPLAY (TK-7160/ TK-8160 0NLY)

Note: This feature can only be activated when DTMF Signaling is turned OFF.

When you receive a DTMF code containing at least 3 digits, it will appear on the display. If no digit is received for more than 1 second, the display will clear and begin with the new digit when the next digit is received.

• The transceiver can display a maximum of 8 digits at a time.

Cancel the DTMF Number Display by pressing any key other than the Volume Up and Volume Down keys.

You can transmit DTMF codes by entering them into an optional microphone with a DTMF keypad.
