CAUTION
• Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
• Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while
the vehicle is running. When the airbag infl ates, the transceiver
may be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.
• Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or if
any metallic parts are exposed from the antenna covering.
Transmitting at such a time may result in a high-frequency burn.
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the
transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately,
remove the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your
KENWOOD dealer.
• Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffi c
laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your
area.
• Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold
conditions.
• Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal
objects, as they may short the battery terminals.
• Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace
only with the same type.
• When attaching a commercial strap to the transceiver, ensure
that the strap is durable. In addition, do not swing the transceiver
around by the strap; you may inadvertently strike and injure
another person with the transceiver.
• If a commercially available neck strap is used, take care not to
let the strap get caught on nearby machine.
• When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is
easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using
an earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the
transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and
to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone
in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.
• Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight,
nor place it near heating appliances.

Information concerning the battery pack:
The battery pack includes fl ammable objects such as organic
solvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture
producing fl ames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other
forms of damage to the battery. Please observe the following
prohibitive matters.
DANGER
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid
danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may generate heat
or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as a
paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in containers
holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklaces or hairpins). If
the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will fl ow and the
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame. It will
also cause metal objects to heat up.
• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
