•Do not use options not specified 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.
