  • Page 10: Preparation

    RECAUTIONS Do not use battery packs or battery chargers not recommended by KENWOOD. ◆ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged.
  • Page 11 DANGER • 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).
  • Page 12 DANGER • 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.
  • Page 13 • Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container! The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. • Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire! If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it from flammable areas.

  • Page 14: Charging The Battery Pack

    HARGING THE ATTERY The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before use. Average battery pack life (calculated using 5% transmit time, 5% receive time, and 90% standby time) is 20 hours. ATTENTION: Always switch OFF a transceiver equipped with a battery pack before inserting the transceiver into the charger.
  • Page 15 When charging is completed, the indicator lights green. Remove the battery pack or the transceiver from the charging slot of the charger. It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery pack. When the charger will not be used for a long time, unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

  • Page 17: Clip

    NSTALLING THE If necessary, attach the belt clip using the two supplied 3 x 8 mm screws. Note: If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location may get hot during continuous transmission or when left sitting in a hot environment. Do not use glue which is designed to prevent screw loosening when installing the belt clip, as it may cause damage to the transceiver.

  • Page 18: Installing The Optional Speaker / Microphone ( Or Headset )

    NSTALLING THE PTIONAL PEAKER ICROPHONE EADSET Insert the speaker/ microphone (or headset) plugs into the speaker/ microphone jacks. Note: Always switch OFF the transceiver power when installing or removing a speaker/ microphone or headset. Attach the locking bracket using the supplied 3 x 6 mm screw. Note: The transceiver is not fully water resistant while using the speaker/ microphone.

  • Page 19: Getting Started

    GETTING STARTED Turn the Power switch/ Volume control clockwise to switch the transceiver power ON. A beep sounds. Press and hold the Monitor key to hear background noise, then rotate the Power switch/ Volume control to adjust the volume. Rotate the Channel selector to select your desired channel.

  • Page 20: Voice Operated Transmission (Vox)

    VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX) Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in microphone. For best operating conditions, we recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
  • Page 21 Press the Call key to increase the VOX Gain level and the Monitor key to decrease the level. The VOX Gain can be adjusted from level 1 to level 10 and OF F. The transceiver announces the VOX Gain level as you adjust it. If OFF is selected, the transceiver announces “Off”.

  • Page 22: Vox Operation

    VOX O PERATION Set up a VOX Gain level from 1 to 10 {page 14}. To transmit, simply speak into the headset microphone. You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting. To stop transmitting, stop speaking.

  • Page 23: Key Functions

    KEY FUNCTIONS The default function of the Call key is Calling Alert. Calling alert tones are used to identify yourself to your party members and inform them that you are about to make a call. Your dealer can set up your transceiver with 1 of 10 different calling alert tones.

  • Page 24: Background Operations

    BACKGROUND OPERATIONS (TOT) IMER The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent you from using a channel for an extended period of time. This function is useful, for example, when you accidentally keep the PTT switch pressed. Additionally, by limiting the amount of time you can continuously transmit, this feature helps you save on battery power consumption.

  • Page 25: Quiet

    (QT)/ D (DQT) UIET IGITAL UIET Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that reject signals from undesired parties that are using the same channel as you. You will hear audio from the speaker only when you receive a signal that contains a QT tone or a DQT code that matches the one set up on the channel you are using.

  • Page 26: Channel Setup Mode

    CHANNEL SETUP MODE This transceiver allows you to reprogram each of the channels with different frequencies and Quiet Talk/ Digital Quiet Talk settings. The table below lists the default channel settings. i t t Note: If you do not select an operating frequency for a channel, you will not be able to select a Quiet Talk/ Digital Quiet Talk setting for that same channel.

  • Page 27: Channel Operating Frequencies

    HANNEL PERATING REQUENCIES To change the operating frequency of a channel: With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the PTT switch and Call key while turning the transceiver power ON. Continue to hold the PTT switch and Call key until the LED lights orange and the transceiver announces “Self”.
  • Page 28 Press the PTT switch within 5 seconds to save the setting, otherwise the operation will cancel. A beep will sound. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to set up another channel. Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to activate the new settings.

    Press the PTT switch within 5 seconds to save the setting, otherwise the operation will cancel. A beep will sound and the transceiver will announce the new Table number. Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to activate the new settings.

  • Page 36: Key Lock

    Press and hold the key programmed as Key Lock for 1 second to lock/ unlock the transceiver keys. The following keys/ functions can still be used when Key Lock is active: Calling Alert, Key Lock, Monitor, Monitor Momentary, PTT, Squelch Off, Squelch Off Momentary, and Volume. If the key is programmed as Key Lock Status Memory, when the transceiver power is turned OFF and then ON again, the keys remain locked.

  • Page 37: 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. If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.

  • Page 38: Revert Channel

    ■ Temporary Delete You can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence during Scan. When Scan pauses at a channel, you can remove that channel from the scanning sequence by pressing and holding the key programmed as Temporary Delete for 1 second or Scan + Temporary Delete for 3 seconds.

  • Page 39: Scrambler

    CRAMBLER Whereas the Quiet Talk and Digital Quiet Talk functions {page 19} allows you to ignore unwanted calls, 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.
