v
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 specified 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.
• When water gets into the microphone opening or the speaker
grill, the voice level may become incoherent or distorted. Lightly
shake the transceiver to remove the water from the speaker and/or
microphone before operating the transceiver.
• Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional
accessories.

vi
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.
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations,
unless the model is specifically qualified for such use
(Intrinsically Safe such as approved by Factory Mutual, CSA):
• In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles,
metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).
• While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
• 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.
