SAFETY INFORMATION:  
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver has been designed using  
a low power transmitter.  
When the PTT switch is pressed, the transceiver generates radio  
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME).  
This transceiver is designed to comply with the FCC Report and Order  
FCC 96-326 (August, 1996).  
• Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total operating time.  
Transmitting for over 50% of the operating time may exceed  
the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements. Transmission  
occurs while you are pressing the PTT switch and is confirmed by  
the LED that lights red while transmitting.  
To transmit, speak into the speaker area in your normal voice  
while holding the transceiver upright and keep the antenna at  
least 2 inches (5 cm) from your head and body.  
• When using a headset, ensure that the antenna is at least  
2 inches (5 cm) away from your body whenever you are  
transmitting.  
• Use only Kenwood genuine accessories. Unauthorized  
modifications, or attachments may damage the transceiver and  
violate FCC rules and regulations.  
ATTENTION (U.S.A. Only):  
The RBRC Recycle seal found on Kenwood  
lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs indicates  
Kenwood’s voluntary participation in an industry  
program to collect and recycle Li-ion batteries  
after their operating life has expired. The RBRC  
program is an alternative to disposing Li-ion  
batteries with your regular refuse or in municipal  
waste streams, which is illegal in some areas.  
For information on Li-ion battery recycling in your area, call (toll free)  
1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837).  
Kenwood’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to

preCauTions  
Do not charge the transceiver and battery pack when they are  
wet.  
Ensure that there are no metallic items located between the  
transceiver and the battery pack.  
Do not use options not specified by Kenwood.  
If the die-cast chassis or other transceiver part is damaged, do  
not touch the damaged part.  
If a headset or headphone is connected to the transceiver,  
reduce the transceiver volume. Pay attention to the volume  
level when turning the squelch off.  
Do not place the microphone cable around your neck while  
near machinery that may catch the cable.  
Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces.  
Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes.  
When the transceiver is used for transmission for many hours,  
the radiator and chassis will become hot. Do not touch these  
locations when replacing the battery pack.  
Do not immerse the transceiver in water.  
Always switch the transceiver power off when installing  
optional accessories.

Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:  
• In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles,  
metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).  
• While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.  
• Near explosives or blasting sites.  
• In aircrafts. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the  
instructions and regulations provided by the airline crew.)  
• Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of  
radio devices, including but not limited to medical facilities.  
• Near persons using pacemakers.  
• Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.  
• Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while  
the vehicle is running. When the airbag inflates, the transceiver  
may be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.  
• Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or if  
any metallic parts are exposed from the antenna covering.  
Transmitting at such a time may result in a high-frequency burn.  
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the  
transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove  
the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your Kenwood  
dealer.  
• Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffic  
laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your  
area.  
• Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.  
• Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects,  
as they may short the battery terminals.  
• When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is  
easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using  
an earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the  
transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and  
to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone  
in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.

SCanninG the ChannelS  
You can scan the transceiver channels to search for a signal.  
When the transceiver verifies a signal on a channel, it proceeds  
to check whether or not its QT/ DQT setting matches that  
which is set up on your transceiver (if you have set a channel  
with QT/ DQT). If the QT/ DQT matches, the transceiver stops  
at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the  
call. If the QT/ DQT does not match, the call is ignored and  
scanning continues.  
Before you can use the scan function, ensure that it is  
activated. You can turn the scan function (the ability to perform  
scan) ON or OFF in Setting mode.

When a signal is detected and the QT/ DQT matches, the

When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver waits  
for 5 seconds before scanning continues.  
If a new signal appears before the 5 seconds elapse, the  
transceiver will remain on the channel until the new signal is  
no longer present, at which time it will again wait for 5 seconds

The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before  
you started scanning.  
ReveRt Channel  
The revert channel is the channel from which you start  
scanning. So, for example, if you are on channel 1 when you  
begin to scan, your revert channel is channel 1.  
During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically  
select the transceiver’s revert channel (in the above example,  
channel 1) and you will begin transmitting. However, if you are  
currently paused on another channel after having received a  
signal (for example, channel 2), pressing the PTT switch will  
allow you to transmit on that channel, rather than returning  
to the revert channel. Scanning will resume after 5 seconds,  
unless a signal is present on the channel.

VoiCe aCtiVated Control (VoX)  
Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver  
hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must  
use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in  
microphone. For best operation conditions, we recommend  
you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a  
microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
