PrecauTions  
Do not charge the transceꢀver and battery pack when they are wet.  
Ensure that there are no metallꢀc ꢀtems located between the  
transceꢀver and the battery pack.  
Do not use optꢀons not specꢀfꢀed by Kenwood.  
If the dꢀe-cast chassꢀs or other transceꢀver part ꢀs damaged, do not  
touch the damaged parts.  
If a headset or headphone ꢀs connected to the transceꢀver, reduce  
the transceꢀver volume. Pay attentꢀon to the volume level when  
turnꢀng the squelch off.  
Do not place the mꢀcrophone cable around your neck whꢀle near  
machꢀnery that may catch the cable.  
Do not place the transceꢀver on unstable surfaces.  
Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes.  
When the transceꢀver ꢀs used for transmꢀssꢀon for many hours, the  
radꢀator and chassꢀs wꢀll become hot. Do not touch these locatꢀons  
when replacꢀng the battery pack.  
Always swꢀtch the transceꢀver power off before ꢀnstallꢀng optꢀonal  
accessorꢀes.  
The charger ꢀs the devꢀce that dꢀsconnects the unꢀt from the AC  
maꢀns lꢀne. The AC plug should be readꢀly accessꢀble.  
ꢀꢀ  
 
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:  
Near explosꢀves or blastꢀng sꢀtes.  
In aꢀrcrafts. (Any use of the transceꢀver must follow the  
ꢀnstructꢀons and regulatꢀons provꢀded by the aꢀrlꢀne crew.)  
Where restrꢀctꢀons or warnꢀngs are posted regardꢀng the use of  
radꢀo devꢀces, ꢀncludꢀng but not lꢀmꢀted to medꢀcal facꢀlꢀtꢀes.  
Near persons wearꢀng pacemakers.  
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations,  
unless the model is specifically qualified for such use  
(Intrinsically Safe such as approved by Factory Mutual, CSA):  
In explosꢀve atmospheres (ꢀnflammable gas, dust partꢀcles,  
metallꢀc powders, graꢀn powders, etc.).  
Whꢀle takꢀng on fuel or whꢀle parked at gasolꢀne servꢀce statꢀons.  
Do not remove the black sheet from the reverse sꢀde of the  
transceꢀver (refer to the ꢀllustratꢀon below). Removal of thꢀs  
sheet decreases the waterproof effꢀcꢀency of the transceꢀver and  
may cause malfunctꢀons ꢀf water seeps ꢀnto the transceꢀver.  
The orange seal on the reverse sꢀde of the transceꢀver ꢀs  
ꢀmportant wꢀth respect to the waterproof effꢀcꢀency of the  
transceꢀver. Do not place stꢀckers or other materꢀals on or  
around the seal shown ꢀn the fꢀgure, or on the reverse sꢀde of  
the battery pack. Doꢀng so wꢀll ꢀmpaꢀr the waterproof effꢀcꢀency  
of the transceꢀver and may cause ꢀt to break down. Addꢀtꢀonally,  
ꢀn order to prevent damage to the seal, do not allow ꢀt to come  
ꢀn contact wꢀth foreꢀgn materꢀals.

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst ꢀnto  
flame.  
Do not jar or throw the battery!  
An ꢀmpact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat  
or smoke, rupture, and/or burst ꢀnto flame. If the battery’s  
protectꢀon cꢀrcuꢀt ꢀs damaged, the battery may charge at an  
abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemꢀcal  
reactꢀon may occur.  
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!  
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst ꢀnto  
flame.  
Do not solder directly onto the battery!  
If the ꢀnsulator ꢀs melted or the gas release vent or safety  
functꢀon ꢀs damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke,  
rupture, or burst ꢀnto flame.  
Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!  
When chargꢀng a reversed battery, an abnormal chemꢀcal  
reactꢀon may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large  
amount of current may flow upon dꢀschargꢀng. The battery may  
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst ꢀnto flame.

Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!  
If the battery pack ꢀs leakꢀng (or the battery emꢀts a bad odor),  
ꢀmmedꢀately remove ꢀt from flammable areas. Electrolyte  
leakꢀng from battery can easꢀly catch on fꢀre and may cause the  
battery to generate smoke or burst ꢀnto flame.  
Do not use an abnormal battery!  
If the battery pack emꢀts a bad odor, appears to have dꢀfferent  
colorꢀng, ꢀs deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason,  
remove ꢀt from the charger or operatꢀng equꢀpment and do not  
use ꢀt. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or  
burst ꢀnto flame.
