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):
