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.

NOTICES TO THE USER

One or more of the following statements may be

applicable:

FCC WARNING

This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or

modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless

the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The

user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized

change or modification is made.

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 may occur 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.
