• DO NOT transmit until all RF connectors are secure and
any open connectors are properly terminated.

• This equipment should be serviced by only qualified tech-
nicians.
PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. UNPACKING
Unpack the radio from its shipping container and check for
accessory items. If any item is missing, please contact
KENWOOD immediately.
2. LICENSING REQUIREMENTS
Federal regulations require a station license for each radio
installation (mobile or base) be obtained by the equipment
owner. The licensee is responsible for ensuring transmitter
power, frequency, and deviation are within the limits permit-
ted by the station license.
Transmitter adjustments may be performed only by a li-
censed technician holding an FCC first, second or general
class commercial radiotelephone operator's license. There is
no license required to install or operate the radio.
3. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
3-1. Introduction
Each radio is adjusted and tested before shipment. How-
ever, it is recommended that receiver and transmitter opera-
tion be checked for proper operation before installation.
3-2. Testing
The radio should be tested complete with all cabling and
accessories as they will be connected in the final installation.
Transmitter frequency, deviation, and power output should
be checked, as should receiver sensitivity, squelch operation,
and audio output. Signalling equipment operation should be
verified.
4. PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
4-1. General
Inspect the vehicle and determine how and where the ra-
dio antenna and accessories will be mounted.
Plan cable runs for protection against pinching or crushing
wiring, and radio installation to prevent overheating.
4-2. Antenna
The favored location for an antenna is in the center of a
large, flat conductive area, usually at the roof center. The
trunk lid is preferred, bond the trunk lid and vehicle chassis
using ground straps to ensure the lid is at chassis ground.
4-3. Radio
The universal mount bracket allows the radio to be
mounted in a variety of ways. Be sure the mounting surface
is adequate to support the radio's weight. Allow sufficient
space around the radio for air cooling. Position the radio close
enough to the vehicle operator to permit easy access to the
controls when driving.
