Firmware Copyrights The title to and ownership of copyrights for firmware embedded in KENWOOD product memories are reserved for JVCKENWOOD Corporation. 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. © 2020 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. • 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 eyeproblems. 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 WATER-RESISTANT MODEL Water Resistance and Maintenance 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. UHF CB CHANNEL GUIDELINES • Use of the citizen band radio service is licensed in Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) General User Radio Licence (GURL) for Citizens Band Radio. CB Radio operation is subject to the conditions contained in those licences. • Channels 5 and 35 (Australia only) are Emergency channels. Use these channels only for emergencies. "Selective call" (ex. CTCSS) will not operate on these channels. • Channels 22 and 23 (Australia only) are data (telemetry/telecommand) channels. Voice transmissions are inhibited on these channels. The ACMA reserves the right to add additional channels for telemetry/ telecommand, should they be necessary. • Channel 11 (Australia only) is designated as the normal Call channel. • Channel 40 (Australia only) is designated as the Road Vehicle channel. • Channels 31 to 38 and 71 to 78 are repeater input channels. Channel numbers 1 to 8 and 41 to 48 are repeater receiving channels. Do not use these channels unless long distance communication is specifically required. • Before transmitting on a channel, ensure that the channel is not in use by listening on the channel or observing the channel busy indicator. Note: ◆ The ACMA has implemented a changeover in CB channel capacity. The current wideband system is being replaced with a narrowband system. Thus, newly purchased CB radios will have a larger channel capacity than older CB radios. You can obtain a list of currently authorized channels from the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. ◆ Transmitting and receiving between old wideband radios and new narrowband radios is possible, although you may experience poor audio quality. When receiving a call on a new narrowband radio, from an old wideband radio, the sound level may be higher than normal. When receiving a call on an old wideband radio, from a new narrowband radio, the sound level may be lower than normal. This is not a malfunction of the CB radios, but a result of differing bandwidths of the radios. Adjust your volume levels accordingly, for best use. ◆ Interference may occur on some channels, when receiving a call from an old wideband radio. The wideband radio uses a larger bandwidth, which may in turn cause cross-channel interference. With a larger number of channels being available, the new channel bandwidth size has been reduced. As more people shift from old wideband radios to new narrowband radios, this chance of cross-channel interference will be reduced. UHF CB CHANNELS & FREQUENCIES CB Ch.
