PRECAUTIONS
Observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and
transceiver damage.
Do not charge the transceiver and battery pack when they are wet.
Ensure that there are no metallic items located between the transceiver and
the battery pack.
Do not use options not specified by
KENWOOD
.
If the chassis or other transceiver part is damaged, do not touch the damaged
parts.
If a headset or earphone is connected to the transceiver, reduce the
transceiver volume.
Do not place the optional speaker/ microphone, clip mic. with earphone, or
headset around your neck while near machinery that may catch the cable.
Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces.
Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes.
When the transceiver is used for transmission for many hours, the radiator
and chassis will become hot.
Do not touch these locations when replacing the
battery pack.
Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional accessories.
The charger is the device that disconnects the unit from the AC mains line.
The AC plug should be readily accessible.
When water gets into the microphone opening or the speaker grill, the voice
level of the transmit and receive may become low or distorted.
Lightly shake
the transceiver to remove the water from the speaker and/or microphone
before operating the transceiver.
To dispose of batteries, be sure to comply with the laws and regulations in
your country or region.
WARNING
Turn the transceiver power off before entering the following
locations:
• Near explosives or blasting sites.
In aircraft. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the instructions and
regulations provided by the airline crew.)
Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of radio
devices, including but not limited to medical facilities.
• Near persons wearing pacemakers.
In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic
powders, grain powders, etc.).
While pumping fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
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 inflates, 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 traffic 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 flammable objects such as organic solvent.
Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames 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.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery.
Do not leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other heat generators
(areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F).
Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other means.
DANGER
Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight.
Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements.
Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument,
or step on it.
Do not jar or throw the battery.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way.
Do not solder directly onto the battery.
Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals).
Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery.
Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery.
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes
out with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to
the hospital immediately.
If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
WARNING
Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time.
Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure
container.
Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire.
Do not use an abnormal battery.
Do not change or charge the battery in hazardous locations.
NOTIFICATION OF IP67 WATER-RESISTANT MODEL
(X2/X5/M/M3/M4 types)
Water Resistance and Maintenance
Water-Resistant Model transceiver conforms to the following standards.
IP67:
The IP standard is the protection level specified by the international
standard IEC 60529.
The first numeral indicates the “dust-resistant level” and
the second numeral indicates the “water-resistant” level.
Note:
Initial water-resistant tests and procedures are performed products
upon being ordered from JVCKENWOOD.
PRECAUTIONS
The applicable standards listed above do not assure that the transceiver
can be used in water.
The transceiver may be damaged in a situation in
which the maximum depth is over 1 meter or the maximum submersion time
exceeds 30 minutes.
Observe the following precautions to maintain the transceiver’s water
resistant performance:
a) Do not drop or apply strong physical shocks to the transceiver.
b) Do not disassemble or attempt to modify the transceiver. (If it is
disassembled or modified, its performance is not guaranteed.)
c) Do not soak the transceiver in water that contains a solvent or surfactant,
such as detergent or alcohol.
If it is soaked in muddy water or salt water (including sea water), it may
become corroded. Immediately flush with fresh water and then wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
If water is splashed onto the microphone, the battery, or the antenna
terminal, clean and dry them with a soft cloth before reconnecting to the
transceiver.
Use of any option on the transceiver not specified by JVCKENWOOD, may
reduce or void the water resistant and dust resistant performance.
SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES
Carefully unpack the transceiver.
We recommend that you identify the items
listed in the following list before discarding the packing material.
If any
items are missing or have been damaged during shipment, file a claim with
the carrier immediately.
