Sınırlandırılmasına Dair Yönetmeliğe uygun olarak üretilmiştir.
This product complies with Directive, Number 26891 regarding
“REGULATION ON THE RESTRICTION OF THE USE OF
CERTAIN HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT”.
PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire,
personal injury, and transceiver damage:
• Connect the transceiver only to a power source as described
in this manual or as marked on the transceiver itself.
• Route all power cables safely. Ensure the power cables can
neither be stepped upon nor pinched by items placed near or
against the cables. Pay particular attention to locations near
AC receptacles, AC outlet strips, and points of entry to the
transceiver.
• Take care not to drop objects or spill liquid into the
transceiver through enclosure openings. Metal objects, such
as hairpins or needles, inserted into the transceiver may
contact voltages resulting in serious electrical shocks. Never
permit children to insert any objects into the transceiver.
• Do not attempt to defeat methods used for grounding and
electrical polarization in the transceiver, particularly involving
the power input cable.
• Adequately ground all outdoor antennas for this transceiver
using approved methods. Grounding helps protect against
voltage surges caused by lightning. It also reduces the
chance of a build-up of static charge.

SYSTEM
• Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor antenna
from power lines is one and one-half times the vertical height
of the associated antenna support structure. This distance
allows adequate clearance from the power lines if the support
structure fails for any reason.
• Locate the transceiver so as not to interfere with its
ventilation. Do not place books or other equipment on the
transceiver that may impede the free movement of air. Allow
a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) between the rear of the
transceiver and the wall or operating desk shelf.
• Do not use the transceiver near water or sources of moisture.
For example, avoid use near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool,
or in a damp basement or attic.
• The presence of an unusual odor or smoke is often a sign
of trouble. Immediately turn the power OFF and remove the
power cable. Contact a KENWOOD service station or your
dealer for advice.
• Locate the transceiver away from heat sources such as
a radiator, stove, amplifier or other devices that produce
substantial amounts of heat.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner,
gasoline, or benzene to clean the cabinet of the transceiver.
Use only a clean cloth with warm water or a mild detergent.
• Disconnect the input power cable from the power source
when the transceiver is not used for long periods of time.
• Remove the transceiver’s enclosure only to carry our
accessory installations described in this manual or accessory
manuals. Follow the provided instructions carefully, to
avoid electrical shocks. If unfamiliar with this type of work,
seek assistance from an experienced individual, or have a
professional technician do the task.
• Enlist the services of qualified personnel in the following
cases:
a) The power supply or plug is damaged.
b) Objects have fallen into or liquid has spilled into the
transceiver.
c) The transceiver has been exposed to rain.
d) The transceiver is operating abnormally or performance
has seriously degraded.
e) The transceiver has been dropped or the enclosure
damaged.
• Do not touch the power plug while your hands are wet to
avoid risk of electric shock.
• Keep children away from the transceiver, to avoid
unnecessary risk of harm to the child.
• Do not remove the plug from an AC outlet by pulling the AC
cable.
• Plug the AC cable only into a grounded AC outlet.
• Do not block the transceiver air vent. Do not cover the
transceiver. To maintain good ventilation, place the
transceiver at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from the wall.
