The FreeTalk
®
XL comes pre-programmed with 15 FCC GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies for convenience, however, an
FCC license is required for operation (see the FreeTalk
®
instruction manual for frequencies and easy licensing information). The GMRS
emergency channel (channel 10) should only be used for soliciting/rendering traveler aid or for emergency communications for
immediate protection of life or property. In some areas, volunteer and public safety organizations may monitor this channel.
For detailed information on GMRS service, see Kenwood’s Internet web page links at www.kenwood.net. Call 1-800-950-5005

Boasting high-quality specs and convenient
features, Kenwood’s FreeTalk
®
XL adds a dose of fun to
your activities anywhere and anytime.
■Die-Cast Chassis & Meets
Military Standards
The aluminum die-cast chassis provides
exceptional strength for rough handling that,
when combined with a rugged and sealed
case design, enable the FreeTalk
®
XL to pro-
vide years of reliable use. The FreeTalk
®
XL
also meets MIL-STD 810
C, D & E environmental
specifications for
Vibration, Shock,
Humidity, Dust, and
Light Rain.
■Small & Lightweight
Carry the FreeTalk
®
XL in your pocket or on
a belt and you’ll hardly notice it’s there
because it’s so small and lightweight
(approximately 11 oz. and 5 inches in
height).
■Simple Operation/
Rugged Controls
Simply turn it on and push to talk. Each
FreeTalk
®
XL has an on/off power volume
setting knob to adjust audio to a comfort-
able listening level. A monitor button is also
provided to check for other users’ activity.
For added convenience, the two-color LED
indicator lights red for transmit and green
for an active channel.
■2 Watts Transmit Power/ Range
Up To 5 Miles
The 2 watts of power that FreeTalk
®
XL has
to offer allows direct radio-to-radio commu-
nications on the same frequency (simplex)
for up to 5 miles*.
■Brass Reinforced Antenna Port
The sealed heavy-duty “SMA” antenna
connector and high-gain durable antenna
of the FreeTalk
®
XL provide excellent
strength for optimum range.
■Includes 8-Hour Battery Pack,
Desktop Charger & Belt Clip
The sealed rechargeable NiCd battery pack
slides on quickly and easily to the radio.
This means thatyou don’t have to contend
with cumbersome latches and there are no
battery compartment lids to lose or break.
Charging a radio with battery installed or a
spare battery pack is a simple drop-in task
with the supplied desktop charger.
A long-use, 10-hour KNB-15A battery
option is also availableand the spring belt-
clip mounts directly to the body chassis.
■Time-Out timer
When the continuous transmit limit of
3 minutes is reached, the time-out timer
automatically switches the FreeTalk
®
XL to
receive operation. This limits per transmis-
sion talk time of each unit to help reduce
channel congestion and conserve battery
power.
■Battery Saver
■Low Battery Alert
■Powerful Audio
■Protected Accessory Port
*The range of the FreeTalk®XL will vary depending on terrain,
obstructions and other conditions.
