OPERATING CONDITIONS
Open locations (no obstructions) : Up to 9.0 km
Residential areas (near buildings) : Up to 2.7 km
Note:
◆The above range is based on field testing and may vary with your operating
conditions and individual transceiver.
NOTICES TO THE USER
Refer service to qualified technicians only.
Safety: It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands,
hazards common to the operation of any transceiver.
This equipment complies with the essential requirements of directive
2014/53/EU.
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.
Notice: The sign “Pb” below the symbol for batteries indicates that
this battery contains lead.

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.
• 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.

5
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.
• 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.

6
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 eye-problems.
