10、 THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. T

11、his equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

12、equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separa

13、tion between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer for technical assistance. PRECAUTIONS Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, or transceiver damage:

14、Do not transmit with high output power for extended periods. The transceiver may overheat. Do not modify this transceiver unless instructed by this manual or by KENWOOD documentation. When using a regulated power supply, connect the specified DC cable (option) to the DC IN jack on the transceiver. T

15、he supply voltage must be between 5.5 V and 16 V to prevent damaging the transceiver. When connecting the transceiver to a cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle, use the specified cigarette lighter cable (option). Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight nor place the transce

16、iver close to heating appliances. Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty areas, humid areas, wet areas, nor on unstable surfaces. If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, turn OFF the power immediately and remove the battery case or the battery pack from the t

17、ransceiver. Contact your authorized KENWOOD dealer, customer service, or service station.

33、uty cycle is 1 minute of transmission and 3 minutes of reception. Extended transmissions in the high power mode may cause the back of the transceiver to get hot. NTransmitting with the supplied antenna near other electronic equipment can interfere with that equipment. Also, transmitting near a poorl

34、y regulated power supply, that is not recommended by KENWOOD, may cause the power supply to output an extremely high voltage. This voltage could damage both your transceiver and any other equipment connected to the power supply. Note: If input voltage exceeds approximately 18 V while using an extern

35、al power source, warning beeps sound and a warning message appears. ISelecting Output Power Selecting lower transmit power is a wise method to reduce battery consumption, if communication is still reliable. You can program a different power for band A and B. Press F, MENU to select high (default), l

36、ow, or economic low power (lowest). “H”, “L”, or “EL” appears to show the current selection. TRANSMITTING 1To transmit, press and hold the PTT switch and speak into the microphone in a normal tone of voice. Indicator A or B lights red depending on which band you have selected. The battery meter appe

37、ars to show the current relative battery charge. Speaking too close to the microphone, or too loudly, may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signal at the receiving station. 2When you finish speaking, release the PTT switch.
