BEFORE USINGii
PrecautionsPlease observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personalinjury, and transceiver damage:●Connect the transceiver only to a power source as described inthis manual or as marked on the transceiver itself.●Route all power cables safely. Ensure the power cables canneither be stepped upon nor pinched by items placed near oragainst the cables. Pay particular attention to locations near ACreceptacles, AC outlet strips, and points of entry to thetransceiver.●Take care not to drop objects or spill liquid into the transceiverthrough enclosure openings. Metal objects, such as hairpins orneedles, inserted into the transceiver may contact voltagesresulting in serious electrical shocks. Never permit children toinsert any objects into the transceiver.●Do not attempt to defeat methods used for grounding andelectrical polarization in the transceiver, particularly involvingthe power input cable.●Adequately ground all outdoor antennas for this transceiverusing approved methods. Grounding helps protect againstvoltage surges caused by lightning. It also reduces the chanceof a build‑up of static charge..EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDINGANTENNALEAD INWIREGROUNDCLAMPELECTRIC SERVICEEQUIPMENTANTENNADISCHARGE UNITGROUNDINGCONDUCTORSGROUND CLAMPSPOWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM●Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor antenna frompower lines is one and one‑half times the vertical height of theassociated antenna support structure. This distance allowsadequate clearance from the power lines if the support structurefails for any reason.●Locate the transceiver so as not to interfere with its ventilation.Do not place books or other equipment on the transceiver thatmay impede the free movement of air. Allow a minimum of 10cm (4 inches) between the rear of the transceiver and the wallor operating desk shelf.●Do not use the transceiver near water or sources of moisture.For example, avoid use near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, orin a damp basement or attic.●The presence of an unusual odor or smoke is often a sign oftrouble. Immediately turn the power OFF and remove the powercable. Contact a KENWOOD service station or your dealer foradvice.●Locate the transceiver away from heat sources such as aradiator, stove, amplifier or other devices that producesubstantial amounts of heat.●Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner,gasoline, or benzene to clean the cabinet of the transceiver. Useonly a clean cloth with warm water or a mild detergent.●Disconnect the input power cable from the power source whenthe transceiver is not used for long periods of time.●Remove the transceiver’s enclosure only to do accessoryinstallations described in this manual or accessory manuals.Follow provided instructions carefully, to avoid electricalshocks. If unfamiliar with this type of work, seek assistance froman experienced individual, or have a professional technician dothe task.●Enlist the services of qualified personnel in the following cases:a) The power supply or plug is damaged.b) Objects have fallen into or liquid has spilled into thetransceiver.c) The transceiver has been exposed to rain.d) The transceiver is operating abnormally or performance hasseriously degraded.e) The transceiver has been dropped or the enclosuredamaged.●Do not place the unit in excessively dusty and/or humid areas,nor on unstable surfaces.●HF/ 50/ 70 MHz mobile antennas are larger and heavier thanVHF/ UHF antennas. Therefore, use a strong and rigid mountto safely and securely install the HF/ 50/ 70 MHz mobileantenna.●Do not put the plastic bag used for packing of this equipmenton the place which reaches a small child’s hand. It will becomea cause of suffocation if it wears flatly.●Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles,metallic powders, grain powders, etc.)About Liquid Crystal Display●Brightness of the LCD screen may appear uneven dependingon the content displayed. This is not a malfunction.●The LCD is manufactured using high-density technology toachieve more than 99.99 % of effective pixels. Less than0.01 % of the pixels may not be lit or may remain lit all the time.This is not a malfunction.●When using this product in a cold region or when thetemperature of this unit or its surroundings is extremely low, itmay take a few minutes for the LCD to reach the normal levelof brightness after turning on the power. This is not amalfunction. When this occurs, turn off the power and allow thesurrounding environment to reach the ambient temperature(10 ℃ to 30 ℃ or 32°F to 86°F) before using the unit.●If you accidentally damaged the LCD display and the liquid inthe LCD display splashes and gets into your eyes or mouth,rinse thoroughly with water immediately and seek medicalattention. And if the liquid splashes on your clothes or skin, wipeoff immediately with alcohol etc. Leaving it as is will harm yourskin or damage your clothes.BEFORE USING iii
