Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
•In explosive atmospheres (inflammable 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 inflates, 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
•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 traffic laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your area.
•Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.
•Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals.
•When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using a earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/ microphone in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.
