this manual or by KENWOOD documentation.
• When using a regulated power supply, connect the
specified DC cable (option) to the DC IN jack on the
transceiver. The supply voltage must be between

lighter socket in a vehicle, use the specified cigarette
lighter cable (option).
• Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of
direct sunlight nor place it close to heating
appliances.
• Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty,
humid, or wet areas, nor on unstable surfaces.
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming
from the transceiver, turn OFF the power
immediately and remove the battery case or the

authorized KENWOOD dealer, customer service, or
