washers (4).

MOBILE INSTALLATION

To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient

location inside your vehicle that minimizes danger to

your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in

motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate

position so that knees or legs will not strike it during

sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to pick a well

ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight.

•

Double check that all hardware is tightened to prevent

vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or

transceiver.

1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the

supplied self-tapping screws (4), flat washers (4), and

spring washers (4).

SEMS

4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then

attach the power cable to the battery terminals; red

connects to the positive (+) terminal and black

connects to the negative (–) terminal.

DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION

Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as

possible.

•

Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess

even if the cable is longer than required. In particular,

never remove the fuse holders from the cable.

MOBILE OPERATION

Red

The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12 V.

Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery. Be sure

to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current

capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient,

the display may darken during transmission, or transmit

output power may drop excessively.

Black

Fuse holder

5 Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative

terminal.

1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the

transceiver directly to the vehicle’s battery terminals

using the shortest path from the transceiver.

6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s

power supply connector.

•

If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an

insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the

vehicle.

•

Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab

clicks.

We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter

socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an

unacceptable voltage drop.

The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is

isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary

(high voltage) ignition system/ cables.

Fuse holder

2 After the cable is in place, wrap heat-resistant tape

around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture and

tie down the full run of cable.

3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other

wiring from the negative (–) battery terminal before

connecting the transceiver.

REPLACING FUSES

ANTENNA CONNECTION

If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the

problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse.

If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the

power cable and contact your authorized KENWOOD

dealer or an authorized KENWOOD service center for

assistance.

Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna.

The success of your installation will depend largely on

the type of antenna and its correct installation. The

transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna

system and its installation are given careful attention.

Use a 50 Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial

feed line that has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, to

match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the

antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an

impedance other than 50 Ω reduces the efficiency of the

antenna system and can cause interference to nearby

broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other

electronic equipment.

Note: E market models use an N-type antenna connector while other

models use an M-type (SO-239) connector.

Fuse Location

Fuse Current Rating

◆

Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched

load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to

the transceiver before transmitting.

OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS

Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by

OFFSET PROGRAMMING FLOW

radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops or

other elevated locations. They generally operate at

higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical

station. This combination of elevation and high ERP

allows communications over much greater distances

than communicating without using repeaters.

Select a receive frequency.

w Select an offset direction.

Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency

pair with a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split).

In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the

transceiver to be accessed. For details, consult your

local repeater reference.

Select an offset frequency

(only when programming odd-split

repeater frequencies).

Activate the Tone function

(if necessary).

Select a tone frequency

(if necessary).

If you store all the above data in a Memory Channel, you

will not need to reprogram the parameters every time.

SELECTIVE CALL

Note: CTCSS and DCS do not cause your conversation to be private

or scrambled. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted

conversations.

CTCSS AND DCS

You may sometimes want to hear calls from only specific

persons or groups. In this case, use Selective Call. This

transceiver is equipped with CTCSS (Continuous Tone

Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Coded Squelch).

These Selective Calls allow you to ignore (not hear)

unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same

frequency. The transceiver unmutes only when it receives

a signal having the same CTCSS tone or DCS code.

CTCSS

A CTCSS tone is a sub-audible tone and is selectable

from among the 42 tone frequencies listed in the table

on page 47. The list includes 37 EIA standard tones and

5 non-standard tones.

To activate CTCSS, press [F], [CALL].
