transceiver.  
PRECAUTIONS  
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 specified by KENWOOD.  
If any 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 cable of the clip microphone with earphone/  
hanger around your neck while near machinery that may catch the  
cable.  
Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces. If the transceiver  
switches OFF/ON as a result of falling or hard impact, the volume  
and channel configurations may reset.  
Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes.  
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.  
iv  
 
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:  
In explosive atmospheres (inflammable 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.  
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 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.

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.

PREPARATION  
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK  
The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before  
use. Average battery pack life (calculated using 5% transmit  
time, 5% receive time, and 90% standby time) is 15 hours.  
Note:  
The ambient temperature should be between 32°F and 104°F  
(0°C and 40°C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside  
this range may not fully charge the battery.  
The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases even  
though it is fully and correctly charged (approximately 500 cycles).  
Replace the battery pack.  
While operating the transceiver using a Li-ion battery pack in  
areas with an ambient temperature close to 0°C, the operating  
time may be shortened.  
We recommend using a short USB cable (low loss) for charging.

QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)  
Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that  
reject undesired signals on your channel.You will hear a call  
only when you receive a signal that contains a matching QT  
tone or DQT code. If a call containing a different tone or code  
is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call.  
Likewise, when transmitting using QT or DQT, the receiving  
station must have a matching tone or code to hear your call.  
Be aware that other parties can still hear your calls if they set  
up their transceiver with the same tone or code.  
Follow the steps described in “OPERATING FREQUENCY  
AND QT/ DQT SETTING” on page 12 to change the QT/DQT  
settings of a channel

Scan  
Press this key to turn the Scan function on and off.  
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.  
If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel  
and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the  
QT/DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning  
continues.

hold the PF-2 key while turning the transceiver power ON.  
When the LED lights yellow, release the PF-2 key.  
While Super Lock-C is activated, you can still perform the  
following actions: PTT, Squelch Off, Monitor, Power, Volume,  
Channel Up/Down.  
Super Lock-P  
Press and hold this key for 4 seconds to lock the transceiver  
keys. Super Lock-P locks the transceiver keys to prevent  
accidental operation. Turning the transceiver power OFF and  
then ON again will not disable Super Lock-P. To deactivate  
Super Lock-P, with the transceiver power OFF, press and  
hold the PF-2 key while turning the transceiver power ON.  
When the LED lights yellow, release the PF-2 key.  
While Super Lock-P is activated, you can still perform the  
following actions: PTT, Squelch Off, Monitor, Power, Volume.  
Tone Alert  
Press this key to toggle Tone Alert on and off. Tone Alert  
provides an audible alarm when signals are received on the  
frequency you are monitoring.  
When Tone Alert turns ON, the LED indicator color cycles  
through green, light blue, blue, purple, red, and yellow, and  
white approximately every 30 seconds.  
When a signal is received, the LED indicator color cycles  
through green, light blue, blue, purple, red, yellow, and white
