Safety InformationSafety Information
e KG-1000M is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of RF (Radio Frequen-
cy) energy, and you should exercise all safety precautions as are appropriate for this type
of device. ese safety tips apply to any device installed in a well-designed radio station.
⚠ Explosive atmospheres (gases, dust, fumes, etc.). Turn OFF your mobile radio 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 mobile radio is mounted in the trunk
area.
⚠ Injury from radio frequency transmissions. Do not operate your mobile radio when
somebody is either standing near to or touching the antenna, to avoid the possibili-
ty of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.
⚠ Dynamite blasting caps. Operating the mobile radio within 150m (500 feet) of
dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your mobile radio
when in areas where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY
RADIO” signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehi-
cle, 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.

Safety InformationSafety Information
⚠ Never allow unsupervised children to play in the vicinity of your mobile radio or
antenna installation.
⚠ Be certain to wrap any wire or cable splices thoroughly with insulating electrical
tape, to prevent short circuits.
⚠ Do not route cables or wires through door jambs or other locations where, through
wear and tear, they may become frayed and shorted to ground or to each other.
⚠ Do not stand in front of a directional antenna while you are transmitting into that
antenna. Do not install a directional antenna in any location where humans or pets
may be walking in the main directional lobe of the antenna’s radiation pattern.
⚠ In mobile installations, it is preferable to mount your antenna on top of the roof of
the vehicle, if feasible, so as to utilize the car body as a counterpoise for the antenna
and raise the radiation pattern as far away from passengers as possible.
⚠ During vehicular operation when stopped (in a parking lot, for example), make it a
practice to switch to Low power if there are people walking nearby.

10
Safety Information
⚠ Never wear dual-earmu headphones while driving a vehicle.
⚠ Do not attempt to drive your vehicle while entering frequencies or accessing menu
items using the DTMF microphone, front panel or the base unit. Pull over to the
side of the road and put the vehicle in park before adjusting or programming the
transceiver.
Notice
▪ ese tips are important for safe operation of your KG-1000M
mobile radio and its accessories. If they do not function normal-
ly, please get in touch with your dealer immediately.
▪ If you use components or accessories not produced by the
Wouxun Company, Wouxun will not guarantee the safety and
usability of the transceiver.

Safety Information
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Use only an antenna designed for use with this radio and its operating frequencies. Un-
authorized modications or attachments may damage the radio and violate FCC rules.
DO NOT hold the antenna while the radio is in use.
DO NOT attempt to use the radio with a damaged antenna or feed line.
FCC Licensing Information
e Wouxun KG-1000M is FCC Part 95J type accepted for use on MURS. e

Installation and Setup
Transceiver Installation
Choose a safe place inside your vehicle to install the transceiver, considering a location
that would not cause harm to passengers while the vehicle is in motion or in case of an
accident or sudden braking. Install the transceiver in an area with good ventilation and
away from direct exposure to the sun.
1. Use the supplied self-tapping screws to
install the support bracket in the vehicle.
2. Set the transceiver in the bracket, then
insert the supplied combined screws and
tighten, ensuring that the screws are
fastened tightly. is will ensure the
support bracket and the transceiver
do not become loose when the vehi-
cle hits bumps or shakes.

Installation and Setup
Connecting a Power Source
e power requirement of the transceiver ranges from 13.8V±15%. If the power source
exceeds 16V, TX will be disabled but RX will operate as normal. If the power source
falls below 11.5V, the transceiver will automatically shut o to prevent it from draining
the battery and aecting the normal operation of the vehicle. (See menu option 34.)

Installation and SetupInstallation and Setup
Replacing the Fuse
In the event that the transceiver blows a fuse, rst determine the cause, then replace the
fuse. If after installing the new fuse it blows again, disconnect the power source imme-
diately and contact your authorized Wouxun dealer for assistance.
e specied fuse current is 15A. e specied power source current is 20A and above.
Refer to the following diagram for fuse installation. Be sure the fuse is properly seated
and secured to the copper set.

18
Installation and Setup
Connecting an Antenna
Before using the transceiver, you must correctly connect a properly tuned and installed
antenna. To get the best results, be sure the antenna is tuned for the frequencies that
you intend to use, and the antenna’s impedance is 50 ohms. Using an incorrect or
improperly installed antenna could harm the transceiver. Never attempt to transmit
without an antenna connected!
e transceiver is equipped with an SO-239 (UHF female) antenna connector. It will
require an antenna cable with a PL-259 (UHF male) connector.

19
Installation and SetupInstallation and Setup
e highest point of any MURS station antenna must not be more than 18.3 meters
(60 feet) above the ground or 6.10 meters (20 feet) above the highest point of the struc-
ture on which it is mounted. MURS station antennas must also meet the requirements
in §95.317 regarding menaces to air navigation. See 47 CFR 95.317 and consult part
17 of the FCC’s Rules for more information (47 CFR part 17).
Important
MURS is limited to 2 watts of power. Antenna gain should not
have the eect of raising power above the 2 watt legal limit.

Installation and Setup
Front Panel Installation
e transceiver includes two switchboard panels for the front display: an angled pan-
el for an inclined display, and a at panel for a traditional display. e angled panel is
installed by default.
Install Inclined Switchboard Panel
1. Align switchboard with front panel. 2. Insert tabs into
base of front panel
