Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:

ïIn explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).

ïWhile taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.

ïNear explosives or blasting sites.

ïIn aircrafts.

ïIn medical institutions or near persons using pacemakers.

ïDo not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.

ïDo 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.

ïDo 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.

ïIf 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.

ïUse of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffic laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your area.

ïDo not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.

ïDo not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals.

ïWhen 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.
