iii
• 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 inflates, 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 traffic
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.
• To dispose of batteries, be sure to comply with the laws and
regulations in your country or region.
