Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged. ◆ After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. If the charger power is reset (turned ON after being turned OFF), recharging will start again and the battery pack will become overcharged. ◆ Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery pack. We recommend you switch the transceiver power OFF while charging is taking place. ◆ Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by fire. ◆ Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack. Information concerning the (optional) Li-ion battery pack: The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters. DANGER • • Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery! The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not short-circuit the battery! Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as a paperclip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-neckless or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up. • • • • • • • Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery! If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)! If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other means! If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight! If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements! If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodelled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step on it! This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuited. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not jar or throw the battery! An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. • • • • • Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way! The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not solder directly onto the battery! If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)! When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. 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 with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery! If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes out with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems. • Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time! If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container! The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire! If 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 flame. Do not use an abnormal battery! If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different coloring, is deformed, 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, rupture, or burst into flame. • • • ■ Using the Li-ion Battery Pack • Charge the battery pack before using it. • To keep the battery discharge at a minimum, remove the battery pack from the equipment when it is not in use. Store the battery pack in a cool and dry location. • When storing the battery pack for a long period: Remove the battery pack from the equipment. Discharge the battery pack, if possible. Store the battery pack in a cool (below 25°C/ 77°F) and dry location. ■ Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack • As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the battery capacity decreases. • Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades. • It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler areas. • The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances. • When the battery pack operating time becomes short, even if it is fully charged, replace the battery pack. Continuing to charge and discharge the battery pack may result in elecrolyte leakage. ■ Charging the Li-ion Battery Pack When charging a transceiver with a Li-ion battery pack, the safety catch of the battery pack may stick out past the battery. When inserting the transceiver with the battery pack into the charger, the safety catch will touch the metal contacts of the charger and the charger LED will momentarily light red. Be sure to push the transceiver fully into the battery pack slot so the safety catch no longer touches the charger terminals. Once in place, the battery pack will begin charging. For charging procedures, refer to the charger Instruction Manual. INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE (OPTIONAL) RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK OR ALKALINE BATTERY CASE 1 Match the guides of the battery pack with the corresponding grooves on the upper rear of the transceiver, then firmly press the battery pack to lock it in place. 2 Flip the safety catch into place to prevent accidentally pressing the release latch and removing the battery. 3 To remove the battery pack, lift the safety catch, press the release latch, then pull the battery pack away from the transceiver.

When the Scan key is pressed, the SCN indicator and “-SCAN-” or the revert system/ group number, appear on the display and scanning starts. The systems not locked out of the scanning sequence are scanned. When a call is received, scanning stops and the system and group digits appear. Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone to respond to the call. The transceiver will continue scanning after a predetermined time delay if the PTT switch is released and no further signal is received. SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS When scanning trunked systems, the revert groups and the groups not locked out of the scanning sequence are scanned. See “GROUP SCAN” on page 23. SCANNING CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS When scanning conventional systems, the revert groups and the groups not locked out of the scanning sequence are scanned. See “GROUP SCAN” on page 23. 21 SCAN LOCKOUT If a programmable auxiliary key is programmed with Scan Del/Add, each system can be locked out of the scan sequence manually. The delete indicator ( s ) will appear on the display when the selected system is locked out. SCAN REVERT You can select revert systems and groups using the encoder and the System or Group keys. Six types of Scan Reverts which can be programmed by your dealer are available: • Last Called Revert: The last system/ group received is assigned as the new revert system and group. • Last Used Revert: The last system/ group responded to is assigned as the new revert system and group. • Selected: The last system/ group selected is assigned as the new revert system and group. • Selected + Talkback: If the system/ group has been changed during Scan, the newly selected system/ group is assigned as the new revert system and group. The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive group. • Priority: If your dealer has programmed a Priority channel, this channel is the revert system and group. • Priority + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Priority channel, this channel is the revert system and group. The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive group. 22 GROUP SCAN (Trunking Format) Group Scan is available for both trunked and conventional systems. This feature is useful when more than one group is programmed in a system. Group Scan is set by your dealer on request. It scans the revert groups as well as groups that are allowed to be scanned. When a call is received, the group indicator shows the group number, and that group becomes the revert group. Simply press the PTT switch to respond to the call. You can also perform Group Scan while using a priority channel. Please contact your dealer for information concerning Priority Scan. 23 CONVENTIONAL OPERATION (Conventional Format) TRANSMITTING 1 Select the desired group and channel using the encoder and the Group or Channel keys. 2 Press the key programmed as Monitor to check whether or not the channel is free. • If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free. 3 Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT switch to receive. • For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphone approximately 1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth. RECEIVING 1 Select the desired group and channel using the encoder and the Group or Channel keys. (If the Scan function has been programmed, you can switch it ON or OFF as desired.) 2 When you hear a caller’s voice, readjust the volume as necessary. 24 SCAN (Conventional Format) If the Scan function is programmed, groups or channels can be scanned by pressing the key programmed as Scan. Scan can be used as either Single Scan or Multi Scan. Single Scan monitors only the channels of a single group. Multi Scan monitors all channels of every group. When the Scan key is pressed, the SCN indicator and “-SCAN-” or the revert group/ channel number, appear on the display and scanning starts. When a call is received, scanning stops and the group and channel digits appear. Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone to respond to the call. The transceiver will continue scanning after an adjustable time delay, if the PTT switch is released, and no further signal is received. When the displayed group is not locked out of the scanning sequence, the add indicator ( ) will appear on the display. PRIORITY SCAN The priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to function. The transceiver will automatically change to the priority channel when a signal is received on it, even if a signal is being received on a normal channel. The indicator appears when the displayed channel is the priority channel. 25 2-TONE SIGNALLING (Conventional Format) 2-Tone Signalling is either activated or deactivated by your dealer. 2-Tone Signalling only opens the squelch when the transceiver receives two tones corresponding to those set up in the transceiver. When the squelch opens, you will be able to hear the caller without any further action. After a correct 2-Tone signal is received and the squelch opens, pressing the key programmed as Monitor will cancel the connection. If your dealer programmed Transpond for 2-Tone Signalling, your transceiver will automatically send an acknowledgment signal to the station that called you with the correct 2-Tone signal. Transpond does not function when you are called as a Group call. If your dealer programmed Tone Alert for 2-Tone Signalling, your transceiver will emit a beep when the correct 2-Tone signal is received. Note: This transceiver is only capable of decoding 2-Tone Signals. It cannot encode a 2-Tone Signal. 26 FleetSync™: ALPHANUMERIC 2-WAY PAGING FUNCTION FleetSync™ is an Alphanumeric 2-way Paging Function, and is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation.

RF Exposure limits adopted by the FCC are generally • • • based on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, & the American National Standards Institute. FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992) American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992) This Kenwood transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME (Radio Frequency Electric & Magnetic Energy) has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body less than the recommended distance from this radio transmitter’s antenna. RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest distance possible from the antenna to the body is maintained. The transceiver has been designed for and is classified for Occupational Use Only . Occupational/ controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This means you can use the transceiver only if you are aware of the potential hazards of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. This transceiver is not intended for use by the general public in uncontrolled environments. Uncontrolled environment exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed to RF energy, or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RF exposure and of how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are not exceeded. • • • While transmitting (holding the PTT switch or speaking with VOX enabled), always keep the antenna and the radio at least 3 cm (1 3/16 inches) from your body or face, as well as from any bystanders. A LED on the top of the radio shows red when the transmitter is operating in both PTT and VOX modes. Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total use time may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiver operation is 5% transmission time, 5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time. Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with the transceiver or another antenna authorized by Kenwood. Use only Kenwood authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/ Mics or headsets etc.): When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Kenwood recommended clip or carrying case meant for this product. The use of other than recommended or approved body- worn accessories may result in RF exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits. To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupational use, you must observe and adhere to the above points. Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequately shielded or designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it can cause interference to such equipment. • • Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities use equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the transceiver must be in accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions. B59-2546-00
