Press the key again to return to normal operation. 18 ■ Scan Press this key to turn the Scan function on and off. Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present. If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues. ■ Squelch Off Press this key to hear background noise. Press the key again to return to normal operation. ■ Super Lock Press this key to lock the transceiver keys. Super Lock locks the transceiver keys to prevent accidental operation. Turning the transceiver power OFF and then ON again will not disable Super Lock. To deactivate Super Lock, with the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Function-2 key while turning the transceiver power ON. • When the LED lights yellow, release the Side 2 key. • When Tone Alert turns ON, the LED indicator color cycles through green, light blue, blue, purple, red, and yellow, and white approximately every 30 seconds. When a signal is received, the LED indicator color cycles through green, light blue, blue, purple, red, yellow, and white approximately every 5 seconds. ■ Tone Alert Press this key to toggle Tone Alert on and off. Tone Alert provides an audible alarm when signals are received on the frequency you are monitoring. • • Tone Alert ends once a signal is received. To reactivate Tone Alert, press this key again. Press any key to stop the 5 second LED indicator cycle. 19 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Solution • Cannot turn the transceiver power ON. Battery power dies shortly after charging. Cannot talk to nor hear other members in your group. Other voices (besides group members’) are present on the channel. 20 • The battery pack may be dead. Recharge or replace the battery pack. The battery pack may not be installed correctly. Remove the battery pack and install again. • The battery pack life is finished. Replace the battery pack with a new one. • Make sure you are using the same frequency and QT/DQT settings as the other members in your group. Other group members may be too far away. Make sure you are within range of the other transceivers. • • Change the QT/DQT settings. Make sure all group members change the settings on their transceivers to match the new QT/DQT setting. ALL RESET MODE At some point in time, you may desire to reset the transceiver settings to their default values. This function will reset all channels to their default frequencies and QT/DQT, the VOX function to its default status, and all keys to their default functions. To reset the transceiver: 1 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the PTT switch, the Up key, and the Down key while turning the transceiver power ON. • Continue to hold the keys for 2 seconds, until the LED indicator lights yellow. 2 Release the keys. • • The transceiver announces “Confirm” and returns to normal operation. If the keys are released before the LED indicator lights yellow, All Reset mode will cancel. 21 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. B59-2687-00
