Refer to pages 2, 3, and 13 for theinstallation and information on the CODESK-type:The AmericasE-type:EuropeE2-type:SpainThe market code is shown on the carton to the specifications {page 105} for theinformation on available operating TO THE USEROne or more of the following statements may beapplicable for this WARNINGThis equipment generates or uses radio frequency or modifications to this equipment may cause harmfulinterference unless the modifications are expressly approved inthe instruction manual.

4 The user could lose the authority tooperate this equipment if an unauthorized change ormodification is TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIREDBY THE FCCThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with thelimits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of theFCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonableprotection against harmful interference in a equipment generates, uses and can generate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordancewith the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. However, there is no guarantee that theinterference will not occur in a particular installation. If thisequipment does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning theequipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correctthe interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

5 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different fromthat to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer for technical observe the following precautions to preventfire, personal injury, and TRANSCEIVER damage: Connect the TRANSCEIVER only to a power sourcedescribed in this manual or as marked on thetransceiver itself. Route all power cables safely. Ensure the powercables can neither be stepped upon nor pinchedby items placed near or against the cables. Payparticular attention to locations near ACreceptacles, AC outlet strips, and points of entry tothe TRANSCEIVER . Take care not to drop objects or spill liquid into thetransceiver through enclosure openings. Metalobjects, such as hairpins or needles, inserted intothe TRANSCEIVER may contact voltages resulting inserious electrical shocks.

6 Never permit children toinsert any objects into the TRANSCEIVER . Do not attempt to defeat methods used forgrounding and electrical polarization in thetransceiver, particularly involving the power inputcable. Adequately ground all outdoor antennas for thistransceiver using approved methods. Groundinghelps protect against voltage surges caused bylightning. It also reduces the chance of a build-upof static OF ANTENNA GROUNDINGANTENNALEAD INWIREGROUNDCLAMPELECTRIC SERVICEEQUIPMENTANTENNADISCHARGE UNITGROUNDING CONDUCTORSGROUND CLAMPSPOWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM Minimum recommended distance for an outdoorantenna from power lines is one and one-halftimes the vertical height of the associated antennasupport structure. This distance allows adequateclearance from the power lines if the supportstructure fails for any reason. Locate the TRANSCEIVER so as not to interfere withits ventilation.

7 Do not place books or otherequipment on the TRANSCEIVER that may impede thefree movement of air. Allow a minimum of4 inches (10 cm) between the rear of thetransceiver and the wall or operating desk shelf. Do not use the TRANSCEIVER near water or sourcesof moisture. For example, avoid use near abathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a dampbasement or attic. The presence of an unusual odor or smoke isoften a sign of trouble. Immediately turn thepower OFF and remove the power cable. Contacta KENWOOD service station or your dealer foradvice. Locate the TRANSCEIVER away from heat sourcessuch as a radiator, stove, amplifier or otherdevices that produce substantial amounts of heat. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paintthinner, gasoline or benzene to clean the cabinetof the TRANSCEIVER . Use a clean cloth with warmwater or a mild detergent.

8 Disconnect the input power cable from the powersource when the TRANSCEIVER is not used for longperiods of time. Remove the TRANSCEIVER s enclosure only to doaccessory installations described in this manual oraccessory manuals. Follow provided instructionscarefully, to avoid electrical shocks. If unfamiliarwith this type of work, seek assistance from anexperienced individual, or have a professionaltechnician do the task. Enlist the services of qualified personnel in thefollowing cases:a) The power supply or plug is ) Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into ) The TRANSCEIVER has been exposed to ) The TRANSCEIVER is operating abnormally orperformance has seriously ) The TRANSCEIVER has been dropped or theenclosure 21 PROGRAMMING THE QUICK 21 USING THE QUICK 21 MENU 22 ALPHABETICAL FUNCTION 26 CHAPTER 7 BASIC COMMUNICATIONSSSB 28FM 28AM 29 NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR 29 NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR 29CW 30 AUTO 30TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCH 30 CHAPTER 8 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONSSPLIT-FREQUENCY 31TF-SET (TRANSMIT FREQUENCY SET).
