Precautions • 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 die-cast chassis or other transceiver part is damaged, do not touch the damaged parts. • If a headset or headphone is connected to the transceiver, reduce the transceiver volume. Pay attention to the volume level when turning the squelch off. • Do not place the microphone cable 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. • Do not immerse the transceiver in water. • Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional accessories. • For safety reasons, we recommend that the battery charger be connected to an easily accessible AC socket. Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations: • In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.). • While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations. • 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 using pacemakers. • 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. ii

Precautions
•
Do not charge the transce±ver and battery pack when they are wet.
•
Ensure that there are no metall±c ±tems located between the transce±ver and the battery
pack.
•
Do not use opt±ons not spec±f±ed by
KENWOOD
.
•
If the d±e-cast chass±s or other transce±ver part ±s damaged, do not touch the damaged
parts.
•
If a headset or headphone ±s connected to the transce±ver, reduce the transce±ver
volume.
Pay attent±on to the volume level when turn±ng the squelch off.
•
Do not place the m±crophone cable around your neck wh±le near mach±nery that may
catch the cable.
•
Do not place the transce±ver on unstable surfaces.
•
Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes.
•
When the transce±ver ±s used for transm±ss±on for many hours, the rad±ator and chass±s
w±ll become hot.
Do not touch these locat±ons when replac±ng the battery pack.
•
Do not ±mmerse the transce±ver ±n water.
•
Always sw±tch the transce±ver power off before ±nstall±ng opt±onal accessor±es.
•
For safety reasons, we recommend that the battery charger be connected to an eas±ly
access±ble AC socket.
Turn the transce±ver power off ±n the follow±ng locat±ons:
•
In explos±ve atmospheres (±nflammable gas, dust part±cles, metall±c powders, gra±n
powders, etc.).
•
Wh±le tak±ng on fuel or wh±le parked at gasol±ne serv±ce stat±ons.
•
Near explos±ves or blast±ng s±tes.
•
In a±rcraft.
(Any use of the transce±ver must follow the ±nstruct±ons and regulat±ons
prov±ded by the a±rl±ne crew.)
•
Where restr±ct±ons or warn±ngs are posted regard±ng the use of rad±o dev±ces,
±nclud±ng but not l±m±ted to med±cal fac±l±t±es.
•
Near persons us±ng pacemakers.
•
Do not d±sassemble or mod±fy the transce±ver for any reason.
•
Do not place the transce±ver on or near a±rbag equ±pment wh±le the veh±cle ±s
runn±ng.
When the a±rbag ±nflates, the transce±ver may be ejected and str±ke the
dr±ver or passengers.
•
Do not transm±t wh±le touch±ng the antenna term±nal or ±f any metall±c parts are
exposed from the antenna cover±ng.
Transm±tt±ng at such a t±me may result ±n a
h±gh-frequency burn.
•
If an abnormal odor or smoke ±s detected com±ng from the transce±ver, sw±tch the
transce±ver power off ±mmed±ately, remove the battery pack from the transce±ver, and
contact your
KENWOOD
dealer.
•
Use of the transce±ver wh±le you are dr±v±ng may be aga±nst traff±c laws.
