i
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:  
In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles,  
metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).  
While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.  
Near explosives or blasting sites.  
In aircrafts. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the  
instructions and regulations provided by the airline crew.)  
Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of  
radio devices, including but not limited to medical facilities.  
Near persons using pacemakers.  
Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.  
Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while  
the vehicle is running. When the airbag inflates, the transceiver  
may be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.  
Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or if any  
metallic parts are exposed from the antenna covering.  
Transmitting at such a time may result in a high-frequency burn.  
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the  
transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove  
the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your  
KENWOOD dealer.  
Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffic  
laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your  
area.  
Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold  
conditions.  
Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects,  
as they may short the battery terminals.  
When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is  
easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using  
a earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the  
transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and  
to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone  
in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.

Information concerning the Li-ion battery pack:  
The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent.  
Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or  
extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the battery.  
Please observe the following prohibitive matters.  
DANGER  
Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!  
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to  
avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may  
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.  
Do not short-circuit the battery!  
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as  
a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in  
containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace or  
hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current  
will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or  
burst into flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.  
Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!  
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is  
damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate  
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.  
Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other  
heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!  
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an  
internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the  
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.  
Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other  
means!  
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may  
charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical  
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke,  
rupture, or burst into flame.  
Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight!  
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may  
charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical  
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke,

DANGER  
Use only the specified charger and observe charging  
requirements!  
If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high  
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or  
current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may  
overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The  
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.  
Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an  
instrument, or step on it!  
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuited.  
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into  
flame.  
Do not jar or throw the battery!  
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or  
smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery’s protection  
circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal  
current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may  
occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst  
into flame.  
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!  
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into  
flame.  
Do not solder directly onto the battery!  
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function  
is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or  
burst into flame.  
Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!  
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical  
reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount  
of current may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate  
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

DANGER  
Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!  
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery  
pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating  
equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the  
battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be  
reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.  
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into  
flame.  
Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!  
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash  
your eyes out with fresh water as soon as possible, without  
rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left  
untreated, it may cause eye-problems.

Remove the battery pack from the equipment.  
Discharge the battery pack, if possible.  
Store the battery pack in a cool (below 25°C/ 77°F) and  
dry location.  
Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack  
As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the  
battery capacity decreases.  
Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack  
degrades.  
It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler  
areas.  
The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and  
discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored  
in a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not  
leave the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances.

SCAN  
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver  
channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal  
on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.  
The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal  
is no longer present. Your dealer programs the delay time  
between signal drop-out and Scan resumption. If a signal is  
received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on  
the same channel.  
Note: You can only use Scan if your dealer has programmed at least  
2 channels and they are not locked out of Scan.  
To start scanning, momentarily press the key programmed as  
either Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete.  
Scanning starts from the current channel and ascends  
through the channel numbers.  
The LED indicator flashes green.  
When a signal is received on a channel and signalling  
matches, the LED indicator lights green.  
To end Scan, press the Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete  
key again.  
Priority Scan  
If enabled, a priority channel is set up one of two ways:  
Your dealer may set up a fixed priority channel on your  
transceiver.  
You can select your own priority channel, prior to  
scanning, using the Channel selector.  
During Scan, if a priority channel has been set up on your  
transceiver, the transceiver will automatically change to  
the priority channel when a call is received on it, even if a  
call is being received on a regular channel.  
The transceiver will remain on the Priority channel until the  
signal drops out. Your dealer programs the delay time  
between signal drop-out and scan resumption.

Temporary Delete  
If a key is programmed with the Temporary Delete or  
Scan + Temporary Delete function, you can temporarily  
remove specific channels from the scanning sequence  
during Scan. When Scan stops at a channel, you can  
remove that channel from the scanning sequence by  
pressing and holding the key programmed as Temporary  
Delete or Scan + Temporary Delete for 1 second.  
You cannot delete the Priority channel, if one has been  
set up.  
You cannot delete a channel if there will be less than  
2 channels available for scanning remaining.  
To add the channel back into the Scan list, simply exit  
Scan mode or switch the transceiver OFF and then ON  
again.  
Revert Channel  
During Scan, pressing the PTT switch to transmit will  
cause the transceiver to select the revert channel. Your  
dealer can program the revert channel using one of the  
following methods:  
Selected: The last channel selected is assigned as  
the new revert channel.  
Selected + Talkback: If the channel has been  
changed during Scan, the newly selected channel is  
assigned as the new revert channel. However, the  
transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan  
is currently paused.  
Priority: If your dealer has programmed a Priority  
channel, it is the revert channel.  
Priority + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a  
Priority channel, it is the revert channel. However, the  
transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan  
is currently paused.

SCRAMBLER  
Scrambler allows you to hold a conversation in complete  
privacy. When activated, any other party listening in on your  
channel will be unable to understand your conversation. The  
transceiver scrambles your voice so that anybody listening to  
your conversation will not be able to understand what you are  
saying.  
In order for members of your own group to understand your  
call while you are using the Scrambler, all other members  
must also activate the Scrambler on their transceivers. This  
scrambles everybody’s voice while transmitting and  
descrambles the voice message on your own transceiver  
when you receive the message.  
To activate the Scrambler, press the key programmed as  
Scrambler.  
To deactivate the Scrambler, press the Scrambler key again.

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)  
VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This  
feature must first be activated by your dealer, and can only be  
used if you are using a supported headset.  
When operating VOX, you must set a VOX Gain level. This  
setting allows the transceiver to recognize sound levels. If the  
microphone is too sensitive, it will begin transmitting when  
there is noise in the background. If it is not sensitive enough,  
it will not pick up your voice when you begin speaking. Be  
sure to adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity  
to allow smooth transmission.  
To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the  
following steps:  
1
Connect the headset to the  
transceiver (page11).  
The VOX function does not  
activate when a headset is not  
connected to the accessory  
terminal of the transceiver.

3
With the transceiver power OFF,  
press and hold the Side 1 key  
while turning the transceiver  
power ON.  
Continue to hold the Side 1 key  
until a beep sounds.  
The LED indicator lights  
orange.  
When the Side 1 key is  
released, the transceiver  
announces the VOX Gain level.

Press the Side 1 key to increase  
the VOX Gain level and the  
Side 2 key to decrease the level.  
The VOX Gain can be  
adjusted from levels 1 to 10  
and OFF.  
The transceiver announces  
the VOX Gain level as you  
adjust it. If OFF is selected, a  
beep sounds.

6
Press the PTT switch to save the  
setting.  
A beep will sound.  
The transceiver announces  
the new VOX Gain level.  
Turn the transceiver power OFF  
and the ON again to activate  
VOX.  
Note:  
If a speaker/ microphone is connected to the transceiver while  
the VOX function is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is  
configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received  
signals may cause the transceiver to start transmission.  
When you operate the VOX function, you must use an optional  
KHS-1, KHS-21, or KHS-22 accessory.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS  
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)  
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from  
using a channel for an extended period of time.  
If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the  
programmed time set by your dealer (default is 1 minute), the  
transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To  
stop the tone, release the PTT switch.  
Your dealer can program a warning function to alert you before  
the TOT expires. Continuously transmitting for the time specified  
by your dealer will cause the warning tone to sound.  
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)  
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other  
parties who may be using the same channel that you selected.  
Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use will cause  
your transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be  
inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch to stop  
the tone and return to receive mode.  
Note: Ask your dealer for an explanation on how BCL functions  
when using QT, DQT, DTMF, or FleetSync signalling.  
BATTERY SAVE  
If activated by your dealer, the Battery Save function will  
decrease the amount of power used when a signal is not being  
received and no operations are being performed (no keys are  
being pressed, and no switches are being turned).  
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for  
5 seconds, Battery Save turns ON. When a signal is received or  
an operation is performed, Battery Save turns OFF.  
Note: While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may flash green  
when receiving a QT/DQT signal which does not match the QT/DQT  
tone/code set up in your transceiver.

LOW BATTERY WARNING  
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be  
recharged or replaced.  
While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomes  
low, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LED  
indicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack.  
CHANNEL ANNUNCIATION  
When changing the channel using the Channel selector, an  
audio voice will announce the selected channel number, after  
you stop changing the channel. (Channel Annunciation can  
be activated or deactivated by your dealer.)  
QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)  
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signalling on  
your transceiver channels. A QT tone/DQT code is a sub-  
audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear) calls  
from other parties who are using the same channel.  
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code,  
squelch will only open when a call containing a matching tone  
or code is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will  
only be heard by parties whose QT/DQT signalling matches  
your transceiver.  
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the  
same channel you are using, squelch will not open and you  
will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear)  
these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own  
private channel while using QT/DQT, other parties can still  
hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same  
tone or code.

23  
STUN  
When the transceiver receives a call containing a stun code,  
either transmit mode will be disabled, or both receive mode  
and transmit mode will be disabled. (This function is used  
when a transceiver is stolen or lost, for example.) Stun is  
cancelled when the transceiver receives a call with a stun  
reset code.  
DUAL-TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY (DTMF) SIGNALLING  
DTMF Signalling is either enabled or disabled by your dealer.  
This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver  
receives the DTMF code (3 to 10 digits) programmed in your  
transceiver. Each transceiver is normally programmed with a  
unique code. You will not hear calls from transceivers that are  
not programmed with a matching code.  
Your dealer may also program a Group Code in your  
transceiver. Ask your dealer for further details.  
When you receive a signal containing the correct tones,  
squelch opens and you will hear the call.  
The LED indicator momentarily flashes orange.  
To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key  
programmed as Monitor or Monitor Momentary.  
Your dealer can program the squelch to close again after a  
specific time period elapses.  
If Transpond for DTMF Signalling is programmed, an  
acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling station.  
If Call Alert for DTMF Signalling is programmed, an alert  
tone will sound when the correct code is received.

24  
FleetSync OPERATION  
FleetSync is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation  
and is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function  
opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the  
Fleet code and ID code programmed in your transceiver.  
Calls that do not contain the correct codes will not be heard.  
Receiving  
When you receive a signal containing both your Fleet code  
and your ID code, squelch opens and you will hear the  
call.  
An alert tone will sound.  
The LED indicator flashes orange.  
To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the  
key programmed as Monitor or Monitor Momentary.  
Transmitting  
To transmit a FleetSync signal, simply press the PTT  
switch and make the call. If the selected channel has  
been programmed with a FleetSync PTT ID, it will be  
transmitted when the call is made.  
BEGINNING/ END OF TRANSMISSION SIGNAL  
The Beginning of Transmission and End of Transmission  
identification signals are used to access and release some  
repeaters and telephone systems.  
If Beginning of Transmission is set, the ID signal is transmitted  
when you press the PTT switch.  
If End of Transmission is set, the ID signal is transmitted when  
you release the PTT switch.  
If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press  
and release the PTT switch.
