Information on Disposal of Old Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Batteries (applicable for countries that have
adopted separate waste collection systems)
Products and batteries with the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin) cannot be disposed as household waste.
Old electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should be recycled at a facility capable of handling these items and
their waste byproducts.
Contact your local authority for details in locating a recycle facility nearest to you.
Proper recycling and waste disposal will help conserve resources whilst preventing detrimental effects on our health and
the environment.
• 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 specifi ed 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 long transmissions, 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.
• The charger is the device that disconnects the unit from the AC mains line. The AC plug should be readily accessible.
WARNING
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:
◆ In explosive atmospheres (infl ammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).
◆ While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
◆ Near explosives or blasting sites.
◆ In aircraft. (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 using pacemakers.
CAUTION
◆ Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
◆ Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while the vehicle is running. When the airbag infl ates, the transceiver may
be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.
◆ If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove the
battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your KENWOOD dealer.
◆ Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffi c laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your
area.
◆ Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.
◆ Do not carry the battery pack with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals.
◆ Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace only with the same type.
◆ When attaching a commercial strap to the transceiver, ensure that the strap is durable. In addition, do not swing the transceiver
around by the strap; you may inadvertently strike and injure another person with the transceiver.
◆ If a commercially available neck strap is used, take care not to let the strap get caught on nearby machine.
◆ When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using
an earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and to
your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.
◆ Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight, nor place it near heating appliances.
