lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs indicates
KENWOOD’s voluntary participation in an industry
program to collect and recycle Li-ion batteries after
their operating life has expired. The RBRC program
is an alternative to disposing Li-ion batteries with
your regular refuse or in municipal waste streams,
which is illegal in some areas.
For information on Li-ion battery recycling in your area, call (toll free)

spacing may not have optimal sound quality when used with
transceivers using 25 kHz channel spacing.

One or more of the following statements may be
applicable:
FCC WARNING
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes
or modications to this equipment may cause harmful interference
unless the modications are expressly approved in the instruction
manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment
if an unauthorized change or modication is made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY
THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
FCC REGULATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF THE
EMERGENCY CHANNEL
The communications must be for the purpose of soliciting or
rendering assistance to a traveler, or for communicating in an
emergency pertaining to the immediate safety of life or the immediate
protection of property.

iv
nOtiCes tO the User
◆ Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed radio
transmitters within the territories under government control.
◆ Illegal operation is punishable by ne and/or imprisonment.
◆ Refer service to qualied technicians only.
Safety: It is important that the operator is aware of, and
understands, hazards common to the operation of any
transceiver.
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 specied 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.

v
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
• In explosive atmospheres (inammable 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 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 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 inates, 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
trafc 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.
• When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it
is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When
using a 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.
