THANK YOU
We are grateful you have chosen KENWOOD for your personal mobile
applications.
This instruction manual covers only the basic operations of your NEXEDGE mobile radio. Ask your
dealer for information on any customized features they may have added to your radio.
NOTICES TO THE USER
◆Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed transmitters within the territories under
government control.
◆Illegal operation is punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.
◆Refer service to qualified technicians only.
SAFETY: It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards
common to the operation of any transceiver.
◆EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)
Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do
not carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the
trunk area.
◆INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS
Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either standing near to or touching the
antenna, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.
◆DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS
Operating the transceiver within 500 feet (150 m) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them
to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where
“TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps
in your vehicle, make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not
transmit while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.

PREPARATION
Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from
the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Electronic fuel injection, anti-skid
braking, and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction. If
your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her
aid in determining if they will perform normally while transmitting.
Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your KENWOOD dealer, an authorized
KENWOOD service facility, or the factory.

INSTALLING THE TRANSCEIVER
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket and screw
set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.
1Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a
template. Drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using self-tapping
screws.
• Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy
reach of the user and where there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for
cable connections.
2Connect the antenna and power cable to the transceiver.
3Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using
hex-headed screws.
4Mount a microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of
the user.
• The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a location where it will
not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value.
Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.

SCAN
Scan monitors for signals on the transceiver channels. While scanning, the
transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is
present.
To begin scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.
• The icon appears on the display.
• When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses at that channel. The transceiver
will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present, at which time Scan
resumes.
To stop scanning, press the Scan key again.
Note: To use Scan, there must be at least 2 channels in the scan sequence.
TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT
During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning
sequence by selecting them and pressing the key programmed as Scan Delete/
Add.
• The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted, the
channels are reset and deleted channels will again be in the scanning sequence.
SCAN DELETE/ADD
You can add and remove zones and/or channels to and from scan.
1Select your desired zone and/or channel.
2Press the key programmed as Zone Delete/Add (to add/remove zones) or
Scan Delete/Add (to add/remove channels).
• You can also press and hold the key programmed as Scan Delete/Add to add/
remove zones.
PRIORITY SCAN
Note: To use Priority Scan, a Priority channel must be programmed.
When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will automatically change to
the Priority channel when a call is received on that channel, even if a call is being
received on a normal channel.
When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given precedence over
Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel 1 while a call is
already on Priority channel 2, the transceiver will change to Priority channel 1.

13
PRIORITY-CHANNEL SELECT
If the Priority channel has been set as Operator Selectable by your dealer, you
can reprogram the Priority channels.
1Select your desired zone and channel.
2Press the key programmed as Priority-channel Select.
3Press / to select “NORMAL”, “PRIORITY 1” ( ), “PRIORITY 2” ( ), or
“PRIORITY 1&2” ( ).
4Press to save the setting.
SCAN REVERT
The Scan Revert channel is the channel selected when you press the microphone
PTT switch to transmit during scan. Your dealer can program one of the following
types of Scan Revert channels:
• Selected: The last channel selected before scan.
• Selected + Talkback: Same as “Selected”, plus you can respond to calls on
the channel at which scan is paused.
• Priority 1/ Priority 2: The Priority channel (either Priority 1 or Priority 2).
• Priority 1 + Talkback/ Priority2 + Talkback: Same as “Priority 1/ Priority 2”,
plus you can respond to calls on the channel at which scan is paused.
• Last Called + Selected: Same as “Selected + Talkback”, plus you can
respond on the last channel on which you received a call after scan has
resumed.

mode. The calling station’s ID will appear when a Selcall is received. You can
respond to the call by pressing the microphone PTT switch and speaking into
the microphone.
■Identification Codes
An ID code is a combination of a 3-digit Fleet number and a 4-digit ID number.
