Kenwood TK-3230 instruction manual Safety Information

SAFETY INFORMATION:

Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver has been designed using a low power transmitter.

When the PTT switch is pressed, the transceiver generates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME).

This transceiver is designed to comply with the FCC Report and Order FCC 96-326 (August, 1996).

•Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total operating time. Transmitting for over 50% of the operating time may exceed the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements. Transmission occurs while you are pressing the PTT switch and is confirmed by the LED that lights red while transmitting.

•To transmit, speak into the speaker area in your normal voice while holding the transceiver upright and keep the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) from your head and body.

•When using a headset, ensure that the antenna is at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from your body whenever you are transmitting.

•Use only Kenwood genuine accessories. Unauthorized modifications, or attachments may damage the transceiver and violate FCC rules and regulations.

ATTENTION (U.S.A. Only):

The RBRC Recycle seal found on Kenwood lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs indicates Kenwood’s voluntary participation in an industry program to collect and recycle Li-ion batteries

after their operating life has expired. The RBRC

program is an alternative to disposing Li-ion batteries with your regular refuse or in municipal

waste streams, which is illegal in some areas. For information on Li-ion battery recycling in your area, call (toll free) 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837).

Kenwood’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to preserve our environment and conserve our natural resources.
