PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire,
personal injury, and transceiver damage:
• Do not transmit with high output power for extended
periods. The transceiver may overheat.
• When using an external power supply, connect the
recommended DC cable (option) to the DC IN jack on
the transceiver.
• When connecting the transceiver to a cigarette lighter
socket in a mobile, use the recommended cigarette
lighter cable (option).
• Before recharging a mobile battery, unplug the
cigarette lighter cable from the lighter socket. Voltage
spikes sometimes present during charging can
damage the transceiver.
• Do not recharge the NiCd battery pack for more than
15 hours (PB-33: 30 hours) with an external power
supply. Switching ON the power supply begins
recharging the battery pack automatically.
• Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct
sunlight or place the transceiver close to heating
appliances.
• Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty or
humid areas, or on unstable surfaces.
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from
the transceiver, turn OFF the power immediately.
Contact a KENWOOD service station or your dealer.
• Do not modify this transceiver unless instructed by
this manual or by some other approved KENWOOD
communication.
CAUTION: The recommended transceiver duty cycle is 1 minute of
transmission and 3 minutes of recaption. Longer transmissions or
extended operation in the High power mode may cause the back of
the transceiver to get hot. Do not piece the transceiver where the
heat sink (rear panel) might come in contact with plastic or vinyl
surfaces.
