NOTICES TO THE USER
◆
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.
WARNING!
◆
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)
Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in a gasoline service station. 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 within two to three feet of the antenna, to
avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.
◆
DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS
Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF
TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. Operating the transceiver within 150 meters
(500 feet) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. If you are carrying blasting
caps in your vehicle, make sure they are enclosed in a metal box with a padded interior. Do not
transmit while the caps are being placed into or are being removed from the container.
Note:
This instruction manual covers only the basic functions of the transceiver. Consult your dealer

PREPARATION
WARNING!
◆
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 AID IN DETERMINING IF THEY WILL PERFORM NORMALLY
WHILE TRANSMITTING.
◆
ALTHOUGH THE REMOTE PANELS ARE WATER RESISTANT, THE MAIN TRANSCEIVER BODY
IS NOT. MOUNT IT IN A PLACE WHERE IT WILL NOT GET WET.
Note:
The following preparation instructions are for use by your
KENWOOD
service facility, or the factory.
■ Tools Required
Note

■ Power Cable Connection
CAUTION:
CHECK THE BATTERY POLARITY AND VOLTAGE OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE INSTALLING THE
TRANSCEIVER.
THE TRANSCEIVER OPERATES IN 12 V NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEMS ONLY!
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 fire wall 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 retaining band.
• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed
for servicing while keeping the power applied.
