WIRELESS OPERATION (K TYPE MODELS ONLY)

If you also have a compatible Kenwood handy transceiver, you may use it as a remote control for this mobile transceiver. You will control one band on the mobile while sending DTMF tones to the other band from the handheld. This function is useful, for example, when you want to control the mobile from a location outside your vehicle.

Note:

uAs a remote control, you can also use a handy transceiver which does not have a remote control function but a DTMF function. However, you must manually send DTMF tones for control code strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in “PREPARATION”.

uThe FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440 MHz band.

•For the programming method, see the instruction manual for the handheld.

2Select the transmit frequency on the UHF band.

5Set the ID code to the same secret number you set on the handy transceiver.

6Select the receive frequency on band B (UHF).

7Select band A (VHF) as the TX band or Control band.
