SAFETY INFORMATION:
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver has been designed using
a low power transmitter.
When the PTT switch is pressed, the transceiver generates radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME).
This transceiver is designed to comply with the FCC Report and Order
FCC 96-326 (August, 1996).
· Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total operating time.
Transmitting for over 50% of the operating time may exceed
the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements. Transmission
occurs while you are pressing the PTT switch and is confirmed by
the LED that lights red while transmitting.
· To transmit, speak into the speaker area in your normal voice
while holding the transceiver upright and keep the antenna at
least 2 inches (5 cm) from your head and body.
· When using a headset, ensure that the antenna is at least
2 inches (5 cm) away from your body whenever you are
transmitting.
· Use only Kenwood genuine accessories. Unauthorized
modifications, or attachments may damage the transceiver and
violate FCC rules and regulations.
