Do not disassemble or reconstruct the 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 paper clip or wire). Do not carry or
store the battery pack in containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace 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 leave the battery near ire, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 60°C)!
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 ire 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 speciied 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 remodeled 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-circuit. 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!

Do not 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 laws. Please check and observe
the vehicle regulations in your area.
Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace only with the same type.
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. Do not use an earphone
accessory in areas where static electricity can be easilly generated.
When attaching a commercial strap to the transceiver, ensure that the strap is durable. In addition,
do not swing the transceiver around by the strap; you may inadvertently strike and injure another
person with the transceiver.
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 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 speciied 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 ire!
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.

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 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.
