ƇILLEGAL OPERATION IS PUNISHABLE BY FINE AND /OR INPRISONMENT. Ƈ REFER SERVICE TO QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY. SAFETY:It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common to the operation of any transceiver. WARNING:ƇEXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.) Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do not carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk area. ƇINJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either touching the antenna or standing within 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) of it, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury. ƇDYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS Operating the transceiver within 500 feet (150m) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where ‘TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO’ sighs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.

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.
NX-700-K FCC ID: K44378600 / IC: 282F-378600 NX-800-K FCC ID: K44378700 PREPARATIONWARNINGVarious electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from the radio frecuency energy which is present while transmitting. Electronic fuel injection,anti-skid braking,and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform while transmitting. Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your KENWOOD dealer,an authorized KENWOOD service facility, or the factory. 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: • 1/4inch (6 mm) or larger electriic drill • 5/32 inch (4.2 mm) drill bit for the 5 x 16 mm self-tapping screws • 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) drill bit for the 4 x 16 mm 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. •Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder from the DC power cable. 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 TRANSCEIVERWARNING 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.
NX-700-K FCC ID: K44378600 / IC: 282F-378600 NX-800-K FCC ID: K44378700 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.

Press and hold the switch for approximately 1 second to switch the transceiver OFF. ƇAdjusting the Volume The Volume Up/Down SW control to adjust the volume. You can adjust the volume up sw to increases the volume and the volume down sw to decreases it. ƇSelecting a Channel The Channel Up/Down SW to select a channel. The channel up sw the channel number increases and The channel down sw decreases it.ƇTransmitting Note: Before transmitting, first monitor the channel to make sure it is not already in use. 1 Select your desired channel. • If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free. 1 Press the microphone PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT switch when you have finished speaking. • For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphone approximately 1.5 inches (3~4cm) from your mouth. ƇReceiving 1 Select your desired channel. 2 When you hear a signal, readjust the volume level if necessary. 2 Respond to the call as described in step 2 of “TRANSMITTING”,above. AUXILIARY FEATURES ƇTime-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.
