• 
Do not 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.
• 
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.
• 
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 (or battery case) 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 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.  Do not use an earphone/microphone accessory in areas 
where static electricity can be easily generated. 
• 
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.
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.
