turning the squelch off.
Do not place the microphone cable around your neck while near
machinery that may catch the cable.
Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces.
Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes.
When the transceiver is used for transmission for many hours, the
radiator and chassis will become hot. Do not touch these locations
when replacing the battery pack.
Do not immerse the transceiver in water.
Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional
accessories.
The charger is the device that disconnects the unit from the AC
mains line. The AC plug should be readily accessible.
ii
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
• In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic
powders, grain powders, etc.).
• While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
• Near explosives or blasting sites.
• In aircrafts. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the instructions
and regulations provided by the airline crew.)
• Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of
radio devices, including but not limited to medical facilities.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while the
vehicle is running. When the airbag inflates, the transceiver may
be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.
Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or if any
metallic parts are exposed from the antenna covering. Transmitting
at such a time may result in a high-frequency burn.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the
transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove
the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your KENWOOD
dealer.
Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffic

Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects,
as they may short the battery terminals.
When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is
easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using
an earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the
transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and to
your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone in
these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.
iii
Information concerning the 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

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 reversecharged 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 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),

Radio FRequency eneRgy SaFety inFoRmation
This Kenwood transceiver has been tested and complies with the standards listed below, in regards
to Radio Frequency (RF) energy and electromagnetic energy (EME) generated by the transceiver.
• FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only . 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 classiied 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 speciied 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.
