OTHER INFORMATION
• Back up battery for memory
To retain the programmed channels in memory a built-in battery for back up is provided.
If the programmed channels are lost in the memory channel mode after turning your radio on,
the built-in battery must be replaced with new one at a Panasonic Servicentre.
NOTE: This special battery is NOT User Replaceable.
• Dead Spot
Transmission and reception may be difficult from some locations, due to outside influences.
If this happens, move to another location if possible.
-2-
Page 4
Precautions
The unit should not be mounted where it will
receive direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Even though the KX-G2200 was designed for
the marine environment, for long, reliable
operation, mount the unit where it will not be
splashed with water. Also, protect the unit from
exposure to salty sea water.
This unit will develop heat in operation. This
is a normal condition. Select a mounting
location where the unit will be well ventilated.
Only use an antenna designed for VHP Marine
radio service. Install it according to the
manufacture’s instructions and make sure that
the connections are secure.
Your Marine VHP radio is designed to operate
from a 13.8 volts DC source, ±20%
(12V Battery). Power supplies beyond these
limits will cause improper operation and
damage to the unit.
Check the battery voltage often.
Do not use benzine, thinner, or the like, or any
abrasive powder to clean the cabinet. Wipe it
with a soft cloth.

Installation
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the KX-G2200 from the packing carton.
2. Examine the KX-G2200 for signs of shipping damage.
3. Accessory, hardware, cords, etc. are packed with the KX-G2200.
Make sure you have removed all equipment and parts before discarding the packing material.
4. Notify the your specified authorized servicenter or dealer immediately, stating full details, should
any damage be apparent.

MOUNTING
Choose an appropriate location for mounting your marine radiotelephone.
This location shouid be away from direct sunlight and water spray.
-5-
Page 7
Rear View
Mount the bracket firmly to the mounting
surface using the mounting bolts and
nuts, or screws. (Refer to the TEMPLET.)
• To mount to a metal or fiberglass
surface, use bolts and nuts.
• To mount to wooden surface, use
screws.
2) Secure the KX-G2200 into the mounted
bracket using the two mounting bracket
bolts.
Vary installation angle for best visibility.
Connect the power cord to the unit, and
wire the cord to the vessel’s battery by
connecting the RED wire to the positive
terminal (+), and the BLACK wire to the
negative terminal (-).
If you find this cord too short, use the
following guide to select the proper guage
wire to extend the supplied power cord.
Up to 3m(10feet)-#14AWG
Up to 6m(20feet)-#12AWG
Up to 9m(30feet)-#10AWG
Up to 12 m (40 feet) - #80 AWG
Connect your antenna cable.
Any VHP marine antenna (must have a
PL259 connector) of good quality and
50 ohms impedance will suffice, but the
use of a gain antenna is recommended.
Follow the antenna manufactuer's
directions exactly. For an existing antenna,
be sure that all connections are corrosion
free and that all are firmly seated.
(?) Connect the Hand Mic.
• If you wish to install this Unit into a
cabinet or console an optional
Panasonic flush mounting kit, KX-G20,
will be required.

Troubleshooting Guide
The following are brief descriptions of common problems caused by sources outside the unit. Should
any trouble concerning the actual unit occur, please take the unit directly to an authorized Servicenter
for qualified service.
Problem
Unusual difficulty in transmitting or receiving.
No display and no sound Is heard when
the Power Switch is turned on.
“TX” is not displayed when the PTT Switch is pressed in transmitting mode.
Cause & Remedy
• Check the antenna system
/broken or shorted antenna cable,\
\corroded or defective connectors./
• Battery voltage may be low.
• Battery voltage may be low or dead.
• Power cord may be broken or shorted.
• Fuse or fuse holder located in the power
cable may be corroded or unlocked.
Microphone cord may be broken or
damaged.
Noise from ignition, refrigeration or
power generating equipment interferes
with the unit.
NOTES
The following conditions will cause the displayed channel to flash;
e Attempting to transmit on a receive only channel.
• When a signal on CH16 is received in Dual Watch mode.
• When a signal is received in an automatic scanning mode.
• When a signal on CHI 6 or Programmed Triple Watch channel is received in Triple Watch
mode.
• Consult an experienced radio technician
who can locate and suppress electrical
noise at its source.
