Thank You
We are grateful you decided to purchase this RC-D710. 		

Features
RC-D710 has the following main features:
• Has a built-in TNC which conforms to the AX.25protocol. With a portable computer,
allows you to enjoy Packet operation quite easily.
• Includes a program for dealing with data formats supported by Automatic Packet/
Position Reporting System (APRS®).
• 
When the RC-D710 is connected to the TM-V71A/E, the available functions are the
same as the TM-D710A/E.
• 
When the RC-D710 is connected to the DATA terminal of a transceiver via the PG-5J
(option), with the RC-D710 built-in TNC, you can use PACKET and APRS mode (Stand
Alone mode).

Notices to the User
One or more of the following statements may be applicable:
FCC WARNING
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this
equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the
instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized
change or modification is made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
Information on Disposal of Old Electrical and Electronic Equipment (applicable for EU
countries that have adopted separate waste collection systems)
Products with the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin) cannot be disposed as household waste.
Old electrical and electronic equipment should be recycled at a facility capable of handling these items
and their waste byproducts. Contact your local authority for details in locating a recycle facility nearest
to you. Proper recycling and waste disposal will help conserve resources whilst preventing detrimental
effects on our health and the environment.



Precautions
Observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and RC-D710/
transceiver damage.
• When operating mobile, do not attempt to configure the RC-D710 while driving; it is too
dangerous.
• Do not expose the RC-D710 to long periods of direct sunlight, nor place it near heating
appliances.
• Do not place the RC-D710 in excessively dusty, humid, or wet areas, nor on unstable
surfaces.
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the RC-D710 or transceiver,
switch the RC-D710/ transceiver power off immediately, and contact a Kenwood
service station or your dealer.
• Do not use options not specified by Kenwood.

n Power Cable Connection (PG-5J)
		Fixed Station
In order to use the PG-5J for fixed station operation, you will need a separate
13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately.
Note: Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.

Mobile Installation
Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the
current to the PG-5J is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission
or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never connect the
transceiver to a 24 V battery.
Note: Install the PG-5J Interface Box using the included screw set in a location where it will
not interfere with driving.

n Replacing Fuses (PG-5J)
If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the
problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to
blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized Kenwood
dealer or an authorized Kenwood service center for assistance.

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the PG-5J could be damaged.
