RECAUTIONS

Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire,
personal injury, or transceiver damage:

•

Do not transmit with high output power for extended
periods. The transceiver may overheat.

•

Do not modify this transceiver unless instructed by
this manual or by KENWOOD documentation.

•

When using a regulated power supply, connect the
specified DC cable (option) to the DC IN jack on the
transceiver. The supply voltage must be between
12 V and 16 V to prevent damaging the transceiver.

•

When connecting the transceiver to a cigarette
lighter socket in a vehicle, use the specified cigarette
lighter cable (option).

•

Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of
direct sunlight nor place it close to heating
appliances.

•

Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty,
humid, or wet areas, nor on unstable surfaces.

•

If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming
from the transceiver, turn OFF the power
immediately and remove the battery case or the
battery pack from the transceiver. Contact your
authorized KENWOOD dealer, customer service, or
service station.
