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 specifi ed 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.
• Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional accessories.
• For safety reasons, we recommend that the battery charger be connected to an easily
accessible AC socket.
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
• In explosive atmospheres (infl ammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain
powders, etc.).
• While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
• 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 using pacemakers.
• 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 infl ates, 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 traffi c laws. Please
check and observe the vehicle regulations in your area.
