◆Do not install the repeater in explosive atmospheres (inflammable
gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).
◆This repeater is intended for use as a fixed base station with
the antenna located outdoors on the rooftop or on an antenna
tower.
◆This repeater is designed for a 13.6 V DC power source!
Never use a 24 V DC or higher source to power the repeater.
◆Use only the supplied DC cord.
◆Do not remove the ferrite core attached to the DC cord. Doing
so may cause interference with radio communications.
THANK YOU!
We are grateful you purchased this KENWOOD repeater. We
believe this easy-to-program repeater will be highly effective in
your communications system, and will keep personnel operating
at peak efficiency.
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture; to prevent fire or
electric shock.
• Do not open the unit under any circumstances; to avoid risk of
electric shock.
• Do not expose the unit to long periods of direct sunlight, nor
place it close to heating appliances.
• Do not place the unit in excessively dusty and/or humid areas,
nor on unstable surfaces.
• Do not put the plastic bag used for packing of this equipment

MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
• Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antenna.
• Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: 180 cm (6 feet), 50% duty Cycle.
• Antenna Gain: 0 dBd referenced to a dipole.
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for
human exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.
• Antenna Mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or
radio dealer must not be mounted at a location such that during radio
transmission, any person or persons can come closer than the above
indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e. 180 cm (6 feet) ,
50% duty Cycle.
• To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be
installed at or exceeding the minimum safe distance shown above, and
in accordance with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer or
supplier.
• Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a
vehicle metal roof or trunk lid, if the minimum safe distance is observed.
• Base Station Installation: The antenna should be fixed-mounted on
an outdoor permanent structure. RF Exposure compliance must be
addressed at the time of installation.
Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer or radio dealer.
You may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation.
You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions.
Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) of at least
180 cm (6 feet) , 50% duty Cycle.
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure
conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance (above)
is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF
Exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the
requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-
related use, transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance
from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna. Transmit only when
people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral
distance away from the antenna/vehicle.
