•Speaking too close to the microphone, or too loudly, may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signal at the receiving station.

2When you finish speaking, release the PTT switch.

Time-Out Timer: Holding down the PTT switch for more than 10 minutes causes the transceiver to generate a beep and stop transmitting. Release, then press the PTT switch to resume transmitting. You cannot switch this function OFF.

	◆ The recommended duty cycle is 1 minute of transmission and				1
		3 minutes of reception. Extended transmissions in the high			2
		power mode may cause the back of the transceiver to get hot.
	◆ Transmitting with the supplied antenna near other electronic
					3
		equipment can interfere with that equipment. Also, transmitting
		near a poorly regulated power supply, that is not recommended			4
		by KENWOOD, may cause the power supply to output an			5
		extremely high voltage. This voltage could damage both your
		transceiver and any other equipment connected to the power			6
		supply.

Note: If input voltage exceeds approximately 18 V while using an
external power source, warning beeps sound and a warning message					8
appears.					9
■ Selecting Output Power
					10
	Selecting lower transmit power is a wise method to
					11
	reduce battery consumption, if communication is still
					12
	reliable. You can program a different power for band
	A and B.				13
	Press [F], [MENU] to select high (default), low, or				14
	economic low power (lowest).				15
	• “H”, “L”, or “EL” appears to show the current selection.				16
