PREPARATION INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE (OPTIONAL) BATTERY PACK CAUTION: -DO NOT RECHARGE HE BATTERY PACK IF IT IS ALREADY FULLY CHARGED. DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY PACK TO SHORTEN OR THE BATTERY PACK MAY BE DAMAGED. -AFTER RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE CHARGER. IF THE CHARGER POWER IS RESET (TURNED ON AFTER BEING TURNED OFF), RECHARGING WILL START AGAIN AND THE BATTERY PACK WILL BECOME OVERCHARGED. -DO NOT SHORT THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR DISPOSE OF THE BATTERY BY FIRE. -NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CASING FROM THE BATTERY PACK. 1 Match the four grooves of the battery pack with the corresponding guides on the back of the transceiver. 2 Slide the battery pack along the back of the transceiver until the release latch on the base of the transceiver locks. 3 To remove the battery pack, pull back on the release latch and slide the pack away from the transceiver.
THE ANTENNA INSTALLING Screw the antenna into the connector on the top of the transceiver by holding theantenna at its base and turning it clockwise until secure. INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP If necessary, attach the belt clip using the two supplied binding screws. Note: If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location may get hotduring continuous transmission or when left sitting in a hot environment.
INSTALLING THE COVER OVER THE UNIVERSAL CONNECTOR If you are not using the optional KMC-** speaker/ microphone, install the cover over the universal connector using the supplied 4 x 6 mm dressing screw. INSTALLING THE (OPTIONAL KMC-25, KMC-25W) SPEAKER/ MICROPHONE 1 Insert the guide of the speaker/ microphone connector into the groove of the universal connector. 2 Secure the connector in place using the attached screw.
RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION _____This KENWOOD transceiver has been tested and complies with the standards listed below, in regards to RadioFrequency (RF) energy and electromagnetic energy (EME) generated by the transceiver.• FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. RF Exposure limits adopted by the FCC are generallybased on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, & theAmerican National Standards Institute.• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992)• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992)WARNINGThis KENWOOD transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME (Radio Frequency Electric &Magnetic Energy) has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body less than therecommended distance from this radio transmitter’s antenna. RF energy exposure is determined primarily by thedistance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possiblepower is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatestdistance possible from the antenna to the body is maintain. The transceiver has been designed for and is classifiedfor Occupational Use Only. Occupational/ controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which personsare exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of thepotential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This means you can use the transceiver only ifyou are aware of the hazards of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. Thistransceiver is not intended for use by the general public in uncontrolled environments. Uncontrolled environmentexposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed to RF energy, or in whichthe persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully aware of the potential forexposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure.The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RF exposure and ofhow to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are not exceeded.• While transmitting (holding the PTT switch), always keep the antenna at least 3 cm (1 3/16 inches) fromyour body or face, as well as from any bystanders.• Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total usetime may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiveroperation is 5% transmission time, 5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time.• Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with thetransceiver or another antenna authorized by KENWOOD.Use only KENWOOD authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/ Mics or headsets etc.):When worn on the body, always place the radio in a KENWOOD recommended clip or carrying case meant for thisproduct. The use of other than recommended or approved body- worn accessories may result in RF exposure levelswhich exceed the FCC’s occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits.CAUTIONTo ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupational use, you must observe andadhere to the above points.Electromagnetic Interference CompatibilityElectronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequately shielded ordesigned for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it can cause interferenceto such equipment.• Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities useequipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.• Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the transceiver must be inaccordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions.
