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. 'R QRW XVH RSWLRQV QRW VSHFLÀHG E\ Kenwood. If the die-cast chassis or other transceiver part is damaged, do not touch the damaged parts. 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.
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations: • 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 wearing pacemakers.
• • • • • • • • Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason. Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while WKH YHKLFOH LV UXQQLQJ :KHQ WKH DLUEDJ LQÁDWHV WKH WUDQVFHLYHU 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.

Please observe the following prohibitive matters. • • • • • Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery! The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid danger.
• • • • • • • Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight! If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
• • • • • • Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery! The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
