PREPARATION
1 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.
1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws (4), flat washers (4), and spring washers (4).
· The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw hole positions on the side of the mounting bracket are towards the rear of the bracket. Self-tapping screw (5 mm x 16 mm) Spring washer Flat washer

2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws (4) and flat washers (4).
· Double check that all hardware is tightened to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.

SEMS screw · Determine the appropriate angle of the transceiver, using the 3 screw hole positions on the side of the mounting bracket.

DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION

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.
· 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. Red Black Fuse holder Fuse holder

Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as possible.

MOBILE OPERATION
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. 1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.
· If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle. · 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

5 Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal. 6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver's power supply connector.
· Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.

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. 3

FIXED STATION OPERATION
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station 1 operation, you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply (not included). The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12 A. 1 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and ensure that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black: negative).
· Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. · Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. · Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.

2 Connect the transceiver's DC power connector to the connector on the DC power cable.
· Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.

REPLACING FUSES
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.

ANTENNA CONNECTION
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 impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed line that has a characteristic impedance of 50 , to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 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.

Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage.

Antenna connector
Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the transceiver could be damaged. Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.

OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS
Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by 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. 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 6 local repeater reference.

OFFSET PROGRAMMING FLOW
q Select a receive frequency. w Select an offset direction. e Select an offset frequency (only when programming odd-split repeater frequencies). r Activate the Tone function (if necessary). t 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. Refer to "MEMORY CHANNELS" {page 28}.

CALL CHANNEL
Call Channel default settings:
· On K and M market models, pressing [CALL] changes the transceiver to the Call Channel. · On E market models, pressing [CALL] causes the transceiver to transmit a 1750 Hz tone {page 25}.

REPROGRAMMING THE CALL CHANNEL
1 Select your desired frequency and related data (Tone, CTCSS, DCS, or offset direction, etc.).
· When you program the Call Channel as an odd-split channel, select a reception frequency first.

2 Press [F].
· A Memory Channel number appears and blinks.

The Call Channel can be recalled instantly no matter what frequency the transceiver is operating on. For instance, you may use the Call Channel as an emergency channel within your group. In this case, Call Scan {page 43} will be useful. The default Call Channel frequency is 144.000 MHz.
Note: Unlike Memory Channels 0 to 199, the Call Channel cannot be cleared.
