Information on Disposal of Old Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Batteries (applicable for countries that have adopted separate waste collection systems) Products and batteries with the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin) cannot be disposed as household waste. Old electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should be recycled at a facility capable of handling these items and their waste byproducts. Contact your local authority for details in locating a recycle facility nearest to you. Proper recycling and waste disposal will help conserve resources whilst preventing detrimental effects on our health and the environment. PRECAUTIONS Observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage. • Do not attempt to configure the transceiver while driving; it is too dangerous. • Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason. • Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight, nor place it near heating appliances. • If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, 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 use options not specified by KENWOOD. • Do not put the plastic bag used for packing of this equipment on the place which reaches a small child's hand. It will become a cause of suffocation if it wears flatly. • Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces. • Keep the volume as low as possible to protect your hearing. • Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional accessories. WARNING ◆◆ EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.) Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. 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 either standing near to or touching the antenna, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury. ◆◆ DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS Operating the transceiver within 500 feet (150 m) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where "TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO" signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container. CAUTION ◆◆ The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver. ◆◆ Use only the supplied DC power cable or a KENWOOD optional DC power cable. ◆◆ Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable. ◆◆ Do not place the microphone cable around your neck while near machinery that may catch the cable. ◆◆ For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using the supplied mounting bracket and screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision. 1 < MO_NOTICE >
