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 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.
• 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 before installing optional
accessories.
• For safety reasons, we recommend that the AC adapter (for the
battery charger) should be connected to an easily accessible AC
socket.
