Caution!
• Do not modify the transceiver.
• Do not place the transceiver on or near airbags while driving. When the airbag is deployed, the
transceiver can become a projectile and hit the driver or passenger.
•
Do not touch the antenna connector while transmitting, or transmit if metal is exposed on the
antenna cover. There is a risk of high frequency burns.
•
If the transceiver emits an unusual smell or smoke, switch the transceiver off immediately, remove
the battery and contact your KENWOOD dealer.
•
The use of the transceiver while driving can violate the road traffic regulations. Check and observe
the traffic regulations in your area.
• Do not expose the transceiver to extreme heat or cold.
• Do not carry the battery with metal objects as this can short-circuit the battery contacts.
• Risk of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; Replace only with batteries of the same type.
• If the transceiver is used in areas with dry ambient air, electrical charges can easily build up (static
electricity). If an earphone is used as an accessory in such conditions, there is a possibility
that an electric shock could be transmitted from the transceiver to the ear. Do not use earphones/
microphone accessories in areas where static electricity is easily generated.
•
When attaching a commercially available hand strap, check that it is hard-wearing. Never swing
the transceiver back and forth on the belt; You could accidentally hit and injure someone with the
device.
1.2 Battery information
The battery contains flammable substances such as organic solvent. If handled incorrectly, the battery
can burst and catch fire or release extreme heat, deteriorate in its performance or develop other
damage. Please pay particular attention to these instructions, which treatment is prohibited.
Danger!
Do not disassemble or repair the battery!
The battery has a safety function and a protective circuit. If these are defective or disabled, the battery
can generate heat, smoke, burst and catch fire.
Do not short-circuit the battery!
The positive pole (+) and the negative pole (-) must not be connected to one another with a metal
object (e.g. a paper clip or a piece of wire). Therefore, do not carry or store the battery in containers
together with metallic objects (tools, metal jewellery, hair clips, etc.). A short-circuited battery pack
has a high current flowing through it and the battery pack can generate heat, smoke, burst, and
catch fire. The bridging metal object also becomes hot.
Do not burn the battery or expose it to high temperatures!
If the insulator melts, the gas vent or safety device will be damaged or the electrolyte ignited. The
battery can generate heat and smoke, burst and catch fire.
Do not use or store the battery in the vicinity of open flames, ovens or other heat sources
(places where temperatures exceed 60° C)!
If the heat melts the polymer separator, the individual cells can short circuit internally and the battery
can generate heat, smoke, burst, and catch fire. Even the separator is not damaged, battery may
inflate, deform, or cracked. Do not use such battery.
