MICROPROCESSOR MEMORY BACKUP
This transceiver uses a lithium battery to retain the
user-specified memory items. Switching the power
OFF will not erase the Menu Setups or memory
channels. Lithium battery life is approximately 5
years.
If you find the transceiver powers-up with default
settings, and channel and VFO data is erased, have
the lithium battery replaced. Contact an authorized
KENWOOD Service Facility or dealer.
