KENWOOD CORPORATION TK-7180-K FCC ID:K4437303110/IC:282F-37303110 TK-8180-K FCC ID:K4437313110 TOOLS REQUIRED Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below the mounting Surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts. The following tools are required for installing the transceiver: • 6mm(1/4 inch) or larger electriic drill • 4.2mm(5/32 inch) drill bit for the self-tapping screws • Circle cutters POWER CABLE CONNECTION CAUTION The transceiver operates in 12V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage of the vehicle Before installing the transceiver. 1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power cable can be passed through. If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber grommet. 2. Run the two- power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine compartment, from the passenger compartment. 3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the negative (-) battery terminal. Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible. 4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band. Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for servicing while keeping the power applied. INSTALLING THE TRANSCEIVER WARNING For passenger safety,install the transceiver securely, using the supplied mounting bracket, so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision. 1 Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a templete. Drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using the supplied self-tapping screws. Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy reach of the user and where there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections. 2 Connect the antenna and the supplied power cable to the transceiver. 3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied hex-headed screws. 4 Mount the microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of the user. The microp hone and microphone cable should be mounted in a place where they will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle. CAUTION When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable,be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value. Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value. GETTING ACQUAINTED

AUXILIARY FEATURES ♦ Time-out Timer (TOT) The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch. Your dealer can program a warning function to alert you before the TOT expires. Continuously transmitting for the specified by your dealer will cause the warning tone to sound.
MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS • Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antenna. • Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: 120 cm (4 feet), 50% duty Cycle. • Antenna Gain: 0 dBd referenced to a dipole. The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits. • Antenna Mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not be mounted at a location such that during radio transmission, any person or persons can come closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e. 120 cm (4 feet) , 50% duty Cycle. • To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the minimum safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier. • Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a vehicle metal roof or trunk lid, if the minimum safe distance is observed. • Base Station Installation: The antenna should be fixed-mounted on an outdoor permanent structure. RF Exposure compliance must be addressed at the time of installation. Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended by the manufacturer or radio dealer. You may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions. Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) of at least 120 cm (4 feet) , 50% duty Cycle. “This transmitter is authorized to operate with a maximum duty factor of 50%, in typical push-to-talk mode, for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance requirements.” You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use, transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away the antenna/vehicle
