WARNING! INTERFERENCE WITH VEHICULAR ELECTRONICS

Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, and electronic cruise
control systems are typical of the types of electronic devices that may malfunction due to a

lack of protection from radio frequency energy that is present when transmitting. If the vehicle
contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his aid in

determining if such electronic circuits will perform normally when the transceiver is
transmitting.

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