Precautions Do not charge the transcever and battery pack when they are wet. Ensure that there are no metallc tems located between the transcever and the battery pack. Do not use optons not specfed by Kenwood. If the de-cast chasss or other transcever part s damaged, do not touch the damaged parts. If a headset or headphone s connected to the transcever, reduce the transcever volume. Pay attenton to the volume level when turnng the squelch off. Do not place the mcrophone cable around your neck whle near machnery that may catch the cable. Do not place the transcever on unstable surfaces. Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes. When the transcever s used for transmsson for many hours, the radator and chasss wll become hot. Do not touch these locatons when replacng the battery pack. Do not mmerse the transcever n water. Always swtch the transcever power off before nstallng optonal accessores. The charger s the devce that dsconnects the unt from the AC mans lne. The AC plug should be readly accessble.
Turn the transcever power off n the followng locatons:
In explosve atmospheres (nflammable gas, dust partcles, metallc powders, gran powders, etc.). Whle takng on fuel or whle parked at gasolne servce statons. Near explosves or blastng stes. In arcrafts. (Any use of the transcever must follow the nstructons and regulatons provded by the arlne crew.) Where restrctons or warnngs are posted regardng the use of rado devces, ncludng but not lmted to medcal facltes. Near persons usng pacemakers. Do not dsassemble or modfy the transcever for any reason. Do not place the transcever on or near arbag equpment whle the vehcle s runnng. When the arbag nflates, the transcever may be ejected and strke the drver or passengers. Do not transmt whle touchng the antenna termnal or f any metallc parts are exposed from the antenna coverng. Transmttng at such a tme may result n a hgh-frequency burn.

2 RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION This KENWOOD transceiver has been evaluated and complies with the standards listed below, in regards to Radio Frequency (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 generally based on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, & the American 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) This 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 the recommended distance from this radio transmitters antenna. RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest distance possible from the antenna to the body is maintained. The transceiver has been designed for and is classified for Occupational Use Only. Occupational/ controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This means you can use the transceiver only if you are aware of the potential hazards of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. This transceiver is not intended for use by the general public in uncontrolled environments. Uncontrolled environment exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed to RF energy, or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully aware of the potential for exposure 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 of how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are not exceeded.
While transmitting (holding the PTT switch or speaking with VOX enabled), always keep the antenna and the radio at least 3 cm (1 3/16 inches) from your body or face, as well as from any bystanders. A LED on the top of the radio shows red when the transmitter is operating in both PTT and VOX modes.
Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total use time may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiver operation 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 the transceiver 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 this product. The use of other than recommended or approved body- worn accessories may result in RF exposure levels which exceed the FCCs occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits. To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupational use, you must observe and adhere to the above points. Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequately shielded or designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it can cause interference to such equipment.
Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities use equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.
Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the transceiver must be in accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions. B59-2420-00
