PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent
fire, personal injury, and/or transceiver damage:
•Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while
driving; it is simply too dangerous.
•Be aware of local laws pertaining to the use of
headphones/headsets while driving on public
roads. If in doubt, do not wear headphones while
mobiling.
•Do not transmit with high output power for
extended periods; the transceiver may overheat.
•Do not modify the transceiver unless instructed by
this manual or other KENWOOD documentation.
•Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of
direct sunlight nor place it close to heating
appliances.
•Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty,
humid or wet areas, nor on unstable surfaces.
•If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming
from the transceiver, turn OFF the power
immediately. Contact a KENWOOD service station
or your dealer.
•This transceiver is designed for a 13.8 V power
source. Never use a 24 V battery to power the
transceiver.

INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY
THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
When condensation occurs inside the transceiver:
Condensation may occur inside the transceiver when the room is
warmed using a heater on a cold day or when the transceiver is
quickly moved from a cold location to a warm location. When
condensation occurs, the microcomputer and/or the transmit/receive
circuits may become unstable, resulting in transceiver malfunction. If
this happens, turn OFF the transceiver and wait for a while. When the
condensed droplets disappear, the transceiver will function normally.
