PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWINGS: To avoid risk of electric shock, under no circumstences should the unit be opened: Do not place this unit, where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating appliances. To ensure good ventilation, do not put anything on top of the cabinet and allow at least 15 cm (6 inches) of spaco behind the unit.‘The power requirement is 13.8 VDC. Never attempt connection to 8 24 VDC source. Do not place the unit 18 of excessive dust, high hu migity or on unstable surfaces. Do not drop pieces of metal, needles, coins and other elec ‘rically conductive materials into the unit. Do not touch the power plug, when your hands are wet. Do not pull the power cord, when disconnecting it from the ‘AC wall outlet. Grasp the plug and ensure that your fingers do not touch the live pins. Han abnormal odor or smoke is detected, immediately turn the power off and pull out the power plug. Contact the KENWOOD service station or your dealer. CLEANING 1. Turn the power off, before cleaning the unit. 2. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, thinner, benzine ‘or any substances which may damage the unit. 3. Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft dry cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with water.2. SPECIFICATIONS AND ACCESSORIES 2. SPECIFICATIONS 2-2.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3-1. INSTALLATION Mounting Bracket ‘When installing the transceiver in @ vehicle consider the of operstion and safety when selecting the location for the mounting bracket. 1 Install the bracket using the supplied flat washers. and self tapping screws (4 ‘pcs, each). Attach the transceiver loosely using the SEMS screws (4 pcs.). . The angle of the bracket may be adjusted to any of, 9 possible viewing angles. |. Hold the transceiver in place and tighten the 4 SEMS screws using a wrench or screwdrive Fig. 2 3-2, CONNECTIONS 3-2-1.

Before installing the power cable, be sure to remove the negative lead from the battory for safety. 2. After installation and wiring, be sure to double check for correct installation before reconnecting the negative lead to the battery terminal 9. If the fuse opens, be sure to check that each conductor has not been damaged by short-circuiting, etc. ‘Then replace with a new fuse of the same rating, 4. After completing the wiring, wrap the fuse holder with heat resistant tape to protect against heat and moisture 5. Do not remove the fuse even if the power cable is too long.‘A, Battery Connections Connect the power cable directly to the battery terminals, Use of the cigarette lighter socket can lead to poor connec- tion, and result in poor performance.

Antenna ‘The type of antenna that is used will greatly affect the per- formance of the transceiver. Use a properly adjusted anten- na, of good quality, to enable your transceiver to perform at its best. The antenna input impedance is 50 ohms. Use '50-ohm coaxial cable such as RG-8U or 8D-2V for this con- nection. If the antenna is far from the transceiver the use of low loss coaxial cable, such as RG-BU is recommended. Match the impedance of the coaxial cable and that of the ~antonna go that the SWR is loss than 1.5 to 1. The protec: tion circuit in the transceiver will activate ifthe SWR is par ticularly poor (greater than 3 to 1). High SWR values will cause the transmitter output to drop, and may lead to TVI or BCI reports. ‘CAUTION: = For protection against fire, electric shock, personal injury, ‘or damage to the radio, use a lightning arrester in your an- ‘enna lines.
