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.
WARNING
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
●Near explosives or blasting sites.
●In aircrafts. (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 taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
3

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.
4

CAUTION
●The frequency band (1.9 GHz band) in which this product operates
and it’s average output power (less than 10 mW) are the same as
PHS (Personal Handy-phone System). If this product is to be used
near medical equipments, be sure to conduct sufficient verification
in advance before using.
●Do not set the volume on the earphones too high
Listening at loud volume continuously for prolonged periods of time
may affect your hearing.
●Do not turn on/off the portable transceiver or remove/insert the plug
while you are still wearing the earphones
Sudden burst of loud sound can result in hearing loss.
●Using earphones in a dry environment may cause tingling sensation
in the ears. This is due to the static charges accumulated on the
body and the connected device, not malfunctioning of the
earphones. This is less likely to occur on someone wearing clothes
made from natural materials or preventive actions taken to prevent
the accumulation of static charges on the clothes.

If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is
damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
●Do not leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other heat
generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an
internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery
may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
●Avoid immersing the battery in water or getting it wet by other
means!
If the battery becomes wet, wipe it off with a dry towel before use.
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge
at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction
may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
