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®).

• <RC-D710 + TM-V71>

When the RC-D710 is connected to the TM-V71A/E, the available functions are the

same as the TM-D710A/E.

• <RC-D710 + PG-5J>

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

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.

2 Remove the release paper from the base

of the panel bracket, then secure it in

place using the 3 supplied self-tapping

screws.

• Allow the panel to set for a while, to ensure

it remains fast. Otherwise, vibrations may

occur.

• After removing the release paper, it cannot

be reused.

3 Attach the panel holder to the panel

bracket using the 2 supplied SEMS

screws.

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.
