MAIN FEATURES
ATEX Certified Radio
The TK-2260EX/3260EX are products designed for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres. They meet European Union Directive 94/9/EC, commonly called the
ATEX Directive. The products are designed to ensure the safe functioning of
equipment and protective systems with respect to the risks of explosion, as covered
by the scope of this Directive.
The certified classes are as follow, providing comprehensive protection for
professional radio users:
¾II2G Ex ib IIC T4 for Gas protection
Group “IIC” is suitable for use in most of types of gas atmospheres including
Hydrogen. “T4” temperature class covers most gases and vapours
¾II 2D Ex tD ibD A21 IP6X T110°C for Dust protection
¾IM2 Ex ib I for Mining protection
1.2W Output power
The TK-2260EX/3260EX strike a successful balance between a high protection class,
excellent performance and effective output power.
Ready for Various Emergency Scene (STAFF SAFE Functions)
These functions provide security and safety for users who work remotely as well as
for those who work in hazardous areas. If the operator is in an emergency situation,
the transceiver automatically sends a help signal to a pre-determined person or
system.
¾Standard Man-down
Standard Man-down function is available as a factory setting.
If the operator (and the radio) are horizontal (or slanted)* for a pre-set period,
an alert signal is transmitted.
Can be activated as the default option
* The angle value can be pre-set
¾Advanced Motion Detection (Software License Option*)
* Need activation file
Stationary mode
When the operator (and the radio) do not move for a pre-set period, an
alert signal is transmitted.
Motion mode (Panic)
When the operator (and the radio) moves a lot for certain period, an alert
signal is transmitted.
¾Lone Worker Function

3
This ingenious feature provides an extra layer of security and safety for
individuals. As long as the buttons are pressed regularly, the radio operates
normally; however, if there is a long lapse (programmable), it will sound an
alert.
In the absence of further response from the user, the TK-2260EX/3260EX
will place an emergency call to a pre-determined person or group of people..
Lone Worker function can be used in combination with other Emergency
functions.
¾Emergency Key (Orange Key)
A clearly identified Orange key can be used exclusively for emergency
signalling to send a help signal to a pre-determined person or group of
people.
16 Channels
The TK-2260EX/3260EX provides plenty of capacity for multiple channels or radio
systems.
Variety of Signalling
¾5-Tone Signalling
Built-in 5-tone encoder/decoder provides 6-different formats, ZVEI, ZVEI2,
CCIR, EIA, EEA and the Kenwood format. It is also possible to set not only
5-Tone but up to 8-Tone, 2-flames 5-Tone and the 3-flames 5-tone signalling.
¾QT/DQT/DTMF
The Encoder/Decoder function uses QT/DQT to segregate talk groups, so
users only hear calls from their own group.
DTMF PTT ID is included for dispatch operations or for a simple remote
control application. The DTMF decode capabilities include a selective call
ID, transpond with ID, “wild card” group calling and radio stun.
¾FleetSync®PTT ID, SelCall & Emergency
Utilizing Kenwood’s FleetSync®digital signalling protocol, the TK-
2260EX/3260EX have PTT ID (ANI: automatic number identification) and
Selective Calling capabilities for managed dispatch operations. For
hazardous/hostile duty environments, a PF key can also be programmed for
Emergency status to alert the dispatcher and/or operator to a user in
distress.
Enhanced Kenwood Audio
The TK-2260EX/3260EX provide loud clear audio even in noisy environments.
Kenwood has utilized its longstanding audio heritage to optimize voice frequency
components so that the audio output cuts through typical ambient noise. This

4
enhancement and the companded noise reduction provide clarity and low distortion
especially on narrow bandwidth systems.
Priority Scan
Scanning is a simple way to monitor multiple channels. There are both standard and
priority scan modes available to the TK-2260EX/3260EX. In addition, Talk Back
allows you to respond immediately to a call regardless of the pre-programmed or
selected scan revert channel.
Programmable Function Keys
3 x PF Keys (including Orange key) are programmable for any features allowing the
transceiver to be customized to fit users’ specific requirements.
Voting
In addition to the Priority Scan function, the TK-2260EX/3260EX supports Voting
function, which will look for and lock on to the best repeater signals automatically in
multi site system. This feature enables users to communicate without compromise.
Built-In Voice Inversion Scrambler
Built into the TK-2260EX/3260EX is a scrambler that offers convenient confidentiality.
The audio will be indecipherable to any third party picking up your signal, although
all group members will receive you loud and clear.
VOX Ready
The TK-2260EX/3260EX offer convenient hands-free operation with the KMC-46EX.
The TK-2260EX/3260EX internal VOX (voice-operated transmission) circuitry
provides automatic PTT and a 10-level sensitivity adjustment for different ambient
noise levels.
