Thank You
We are grateful you decꢀded to purchase thꢀs RC-D710.
FeaTures
RC-D710 has the followꢀng maꢀn features:
•
•
•
Has a buꢀlt-ꢀn TNC whꢀch conforms to the AX.25protocol. Wꢀth a portable computer,
allows you to enjoy Packet operatꢀon quꢀte easꢀly.
Includes a program for dealꢀng wꢀth data formats supported by Automatꢀc Packet/
Posꢀtꢀon Reportꢀng System (APRS®).
<RC-D710 + TM-V71>
When the RC-D710 ꢀs connected to the TM-V71A/E, the avaꢀlable functꢀons are the
same as the TM-D710A/E.
•
<RC-D710 + PG-5J>
When the RC-D710 ꢀs connected to the DATA termꢀnal of a transceꢀver vꢀa the PG-5J
(optꢀon), wꢀth the RC-D710 buꢀlt-ꢀn TNC, you can use PACKET and APRS mode (Stand
Alone mode).
noTices To The user
One or more of the followꢀng statements may be applꢀcable:
FCC WARNING
Thꢀs equꢀpment generates or uses radꢀo frequency energy. Changes or modꢀfꢀcatꢀons to thꢀs
equꢀpment may cause harmful ꢀnterference unless the modꢀfꢀcatꢀons are expressly approved ꢀn the
ꢀnstructꢀon manual. The user could lose the authorꢀty to operate thꢀs equꢀpment ꢀf an unauthorꢀzed
change or modꢀfꢀcatꢀon ꢀs made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
Thꢀs equꢀpment has been tested and found to comply wꢀth the lꢀmꢀts for a Class B dꢀgꢀtal devꢀce,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These lꢀmꢀts are desꢀgned to provꢀde reasonable protectꢀon
agaꢀnst harmful ꢀnterference ꢀn a resꢀdentꢀal ꢀnstallatꢀon.
Thꢀs equꢀpment generates, uses and can generate radꢀo frequency energy and, ꢀf not ꢀnstalled and
used ꢀn accordance wꢀth the ꢀnstructꢀons, may cause harmful ꢀnterference to radꢀo communꢀcatꢀons.
However, there ꢀs no guarantee that the ꢀnterference wꢀll not occur ꢀn a partꢀcular ꢀnstallatꢀon. If
thꢀs equꢀpment does cause harmful ꢀnterference to radꢀo or televꢀsꢀon receptꢀon, whꢀch can be
determꢀned by turnꢀng the equꢀpment off and on, the user ꢀs encouraged to try to correct the
ꢀnterference by one or more of the followꢀng measures:
•
•
•
Reorꢀent or relocate the receꢀvꢀng antenna.
Increase the separatꢀon between the equꢀpment and receꢀver.
Connect the equꢀpment to an outlet on a cꢀrcuꢀt dꢀfferent from that to whꢀch the receꢀver ꢀs
connected.
•
Consult the dealer for technꢀcal assꢀstance.
Information on Disposal of Old Electrical and Electronic Equipment (applicable for EU
countries that have adopted separate waste collection systems)
Products wꢀth the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bꢀn) cannot be dꢀsposed as household waste.
Old electrꢀcal and electronꢀc equꢀpment should be recycled at a facꢀlꢀty capable of handlꢀng these ꢀtems
and theꢀr waste byproducts. Contact your local authorꢀty for detaꢀls ꢀn locatꢀng a recycle facꢀlꢀty nearest
to you. Proper recyclꢀng and waste dꢀsposal wꢀll help conserve resources whꢀlst preventꢀng detrꢀmental

PrecauTions
Observe the followꢀng precautꢀons to prevent fꢀre, personal ꢀnjury, and RC-D710/
transceꢀver damage.
•
•
•
•
When operatꢀng mobꢀle, do not attempt to confꢀgure the RC-D710 whꢀle drꢀvꢀng; ꢀt ꢀs too
dangerous.
Do not expose the RC-D710 to long perꢀods of dꢀrect sunlꢀght, nor place ꢀt near heatꢀng
applꢀances.
Do not place the RC-D710 ꢀn excessꢀvely dusty, humꢀd, or wet areas, nor on unstable
surfaces.
If an abnormal odor or smoke ꢀs detected comꢀng from the RC-D710 or transceꢀver,
swꢀtch the RC-D710/ transceꢀver power off ꢀmmedꢀately, and contact a Kenwood
servꢀce statꢀon or your dealer.
•
Do not use optꢀons not specꢀfꢀed by Kenwood.

n Power cable connection (PG-5J)
Fixed Station
In order to use the PG-5J for fixed station operation, you will need a separate
ꢀ3.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately.
Note: Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.
Mobile Installation
Be sure to use a ꢀ2 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the
current to the PG-5J is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission
or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never connect the
transceiver to a 24 V battery.
Note: Install the PG-5J Interface Box using the included screw set in a location where it will
not interfere with driving.
n Replacing Fuses (PG-5J)
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.
Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the PG-5J could be damaged.
