RECAUTIONS Do not use battery packs or battery chargers not recommended by KENWOOD. ◆ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged.
Page 11
Information concerning the Li-ion battery pack: The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters. DANGER •...
Page 12
DANGER • Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements! If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
Page 13
DANGER • 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.

■ Using the Li-ion Battery Pack • Charge the battery pack before using it. • To keep the battery discharge at a minimum, remove the battery pack from the equipment when it is not in use. Store the battery pack in a cool and dry location. •...
HARGING THE ATTERY ATTENTION: Always switch OFF a transceiver equipped with a battery pack before inserting the transceiver into the charger. Charging slot Indicator Note: ◆ When the indicator blinks red, the battery pack is either defective or the battery pack contacts are not properly mated with those of the charger.
NSTALLING EMOVING THE ◆ Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by fire. ◆ Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack. ATTERY 1 Align the battery pack with the back of the transceiver, then press the battery pack and transceiver firmly together until the release latch on the...
NSTALLING THE NTENNA Antenna NSTALLING THE Belt clip Do not use glue which is designed to prevent screw loosening when installing the belt clip, as it may cause damage to the transceiver. Acrylic ester, which is contained in these glues, may crack the transceiver’s back panel.
NSTALLING THE OVER OVER THE Speaker/ microphone jack cover NSTALLING THE PTIONAL Speaker/ microphone locking bracket PEAKER If you are not using a speaker/ microphone, install the cover over the speaker/ microphone jacks using the supplied 3 x 6 mm screw. Note: To keep the transceiver water resistant, you must cover the speaker/ microphone jacks with the supplied...
GETTING ACQUAINTED Antenna LED indicator Lights red while transmitting. Lights green while receiving a signal. Flashes red when the battery voltage is low while transmitting. Speaker Microphone PTT (Push-To- Talk) switch Press, then speak into the microphone to call a station. Release to receive.
PROGRAMMABLE AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS Your dealer can program each of the Side 1 and Side 2 keys with one of the following auxiliary functions. Refer to their descriptions, starting on page 15. • Autodial • Key Lock • Key Lock with Backup •...
BASIC OPERATIONS 1 Turn the Power switch/ Volume 2 Press the key programmed with 3 Rotate the Channel selector to 4 To make a call, press and hold 5 Release the PTT switch to control clockwise to switch the transceiver power ON. •...
ADVANCED OPERATIONS The following functions are programmable by your dealer, as described on page 13. UTODIAL Press and hold the PTT switch, then press the key programmed as Autodial to transmit the stored DTMF code. Release the Autodial key, then speak into the microphone while still pressing the PTT switch to call the other party.
Press and hold the key programmed as Key Lock for 1 second to lock/ unlock the transceiver keys. The following keys/ functions can still be used when Key Lock is active: Autodial, Key Lock, Monitor, Monitor Momentary, PTT, Squelch Off, Squelch Off Momentary, and Volume. If the key is programmed as Key Lock with Backup, when the transceiver power is turned OFF and then ON again, the keys remain locked.
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present. The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal is no longer present.
Page 25
■ Temporary Delete If a key is programmed with the Temporary Delete or Scan + Temporary Delete function, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence during Scan. When Scan stops at a channel, you can remove that channel from the scanning sequence by pressing and holding the key programmed as Temporary Delete or Scan + Temporary Delete for 1 second.
CRAMBLER Scrambler allows you to hold a conversation in complete privacy. When activated, any other party listening in on your channel will be unable to understand your conversation. The transceiver scrambles your voice so that anybody listening to your conversation will not be able to understand what you are saying.
VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX) VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature must first be activated by your dealer, and can only be used if you are using a supported headset. When operating VOX, you must set a VOX Gain level. This setting allows the transceiver to recognize sound levels.
Page 28
Note: ◆ If a speaker/ microphone is connected to the transceiver while the VOX function is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received signals may cause the transceiver to start transmission. ◆...
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS (TOT) IMER The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time set by your dealer (default is 1 minute), the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound.
ATTERY ARNING Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be recharged or replaced. While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomes low, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LED indicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack. HANNEL NNUNCIATION When changing the channel using the Channel selector, an...
When the transceiver receives a call containing a stun code, either transmit mode will be disabled, or both receive mode and transmit mode will be disabled. (This function is used when a transceiver is stolen or lost, for example.) Stun is cancelled when the transceiver receives a call with a stun reset code.
FleetSync O PERATION FleetSync is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation and is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the Fleet code and ID code programmed in your transceiver. Calls that do not contain the correct codes will not be heard.
