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.
