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 particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

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 possibly occurs inside the transceiver in such a case where the room is warmed using a heater on cold days or where the transceiver is quickly moved from a cold room to a warm room. 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 just wait for a while. When the condensed droplets disappear, the transceiver will function normally.

PRECAUTIONS

Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage:

When operating mobile, do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving because 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 this transceiver unless instructed by this manual or by KENWOOD documentation.

Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight nor place the transceiver close to heating appliances.

Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty areas, humid areas, 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.

The transceiver is designed for a 13.8 V power source. Never use a 24 V battery to power the transceiver.
