provided by the airline crew.)
Where iestnctions or warnings are posted iegaiding the use at radio devices.
including but not limited to medical tacilities,
Near persons using pacemakers.
Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while the vehicle is
mhning. When the airbag inflates, the transceiver may be elected and strike the
driver or passengers.
Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or it any metallic parts are
exposed train the antenna covering Transmitting at such a time may result in a
high—frequency burn.
it an abnormal odor or smoke is detected Comtng trom the transceiver, switch the
transceiver power off immediately, remove the battery pack from the transceiver, and

battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into llame,
Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may oocur. In
some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow upon discharging,
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not
smoothly connect wrth a charger or operating equipment, do not toroe it; check the
polarity at the battery. lithe battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it Will
be reversebharged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur, The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not touch a mptured and leaking battery!
It the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with
fresh water as soon as possible, Without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital
immediately. It left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!
Il the battery pack has not linished charging even alter the regulated time has
passed. stop it, The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture. or burst into
name.
Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure containerl
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away tram lirel
It the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it
from flammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and
may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into llame.
Do not use an abnormal battery!
If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have diflerenl colonrrg. is derorrned,
or seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating
equipment and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke. mpture, or

Note:
0 Using the transceiver while charging its battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
0 if the operating time or a battery pack decreases although the battery pack IS fully and
correctly charged, the battery pack lire IS aver. Replace the battery pack.
0 The ambient temperature should be from 41“F (5"C) to 104“F (40°C) while charging is in
progress.
0 The charging times provided are obtained when a battery pack discharged to 3 Was" x 2
is charged at normal temperatures. This charging time varies depending on the degree DI
discharge and the ambient charging temperature
0 Thus charger may be sunable to charge battery packs not Insted herein. due to lurther
technology development.
0 If the battery pack contacts are net properly mated with the charger terminals, the
indicator may blink red or may remain unlit. To resolve this problem, reinsert the battery
pack after cleaning the battery pack contacts and the charger terminals.

Battery Life
Before you operate the transceiver outside using a battery pack it is important to
know how long the battery pack will last. The operating times listed in the table
below are measured under the following cyclic conditions:
TX: 6 seconds. Fix: 6 seconds. Stand-by: 48 seconds
We recommend you Garry extra battery packs with you, in case the battery pack
becomes depleted.
Mme: Internal reslstartce levels dll'ler, dependlng on the battery, so when uslng Alkaline
batteries there are times when the actual operating time may be shorter than normal.
Connecting to a Cigarette Lighter Socket
To use the cigarette lighter socket, use the optional KVC-22 DC vehicular charger
adapter. When using the Charger, attach it to the vehicle as described below.

MEMORY CHANNELS
In Memory channels, you can store frequencies and related data that you often
use. Then you need not reprogram the data every (me. You can quickly recall a
programmed channel by simple operation. A total of 200 Memory channels are
available.
SlMPLEX & REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORV CHANNEL?
You can use each memory channel as a simplex 8. repeater channel or as an
odd-split channel. Store only one frequency to use as a simplex & repeater
channel or two separate frequencies to use as an odd-split channel. Select either
application for each channel depending on the operations you have in mind.
simplex G. Repeater channels allow:
' Simplex frequency operation
- Repeater operation with a standard offset (if an oftset direction is stored)
Odd-split channels allow:
' Repeater operation with a non-standard offset

OPERATING- mnoua HEPEATERS
Repeaters are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, sometimes with the
cooperation of local businesses involved in me oommunicarlons incluswy.
Compared to simplex communication, you can usually transmit over much greater
distances by using a repeater. Repeaters are typically located on mountain tops
or other elevated locations. They generally operate at higher ERP (Effective
Hadiated Power) than a typical station. This combination of elevation and high
EFlP allows communications over considerable distances

TRANSMITTING A 1750 H2 TONE
Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a 1750 Hz tone. On
the E type model. simply pressing [PF] causes it to transmit a 1750 Hz tone, It is
also possible to program [1750] on the front panel as a [PF] key for transmitting a
1750 Hz tone.
Note: The transceiver continuously transmits a 1750 Hz tone until you release the PF] key
(1750).
Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a certain period of
time. following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver is also capable of remaining in
the transmit mode for 2 seconds otter transmitting a 1750 Hz tone.

SIGNALING
CTCSS
You may sometimes want to hear calls only from specific persons. The
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) allows you to ignore (not hear)
unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency. To do 50,
select the some GTCSS tone as selected by the other persons in your group. A

OPERATION NOTICES: The transceiver has been designed and engineered to even!
possible hardware glitches. However, you may notice the tollowrrig symptoms when you
operate the transceiver. These symptoms are not malfunctions.
RECEIVING SIGNALS IN CITIES: When you receive signals in cities. the receiver's ennre
antenna indicator may light up Without receivntg any strong Signals. This happens when
the RF amplifier in the receiver is overloaded by nearby strong intenerence signals.
TRANSMISSION: it you continuously transmit tor more than B minutes at high power
(5 W), the transceiver becomes warm.
it you continue or repeat the transmission betore the transceiver cools down, the thermal
protector gradually decreases the output power to 1.5 W.
INTERNAL BEATS: On some spots of the frequency, the antenna indicator moves without
receiving any signals or you cannot reserve any signals. This is inevitable when you use
super-heterodyne receivers. If this happens. access Menu No. 10 (B.SHIFI’) and select
“ON".
