Safety: It is important that the operator is aware of and understands hazards common to the operation of any transceiver. The AMBE+2TM voice coding Technology embodied in this product is protected by intellectual property rights including patent rights, copyrights and trade secrets of Digital Voice Systems, Inc. This voice coding Technology is licensed solely for use within this Communications Equipment. The user of this Technology is explicitly prohibited from attempting to extract, remove, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the Object Code, or in any other way convert the Object Code into a human-readable form. U.S. Patent Nos. #5,870,405, #5,826,222, #5,754,974, #5,701,390, #5,715,365, #5,649,050, #5,630,011, #5,581,656, #5,517,511, #5,491,772, #5,247,579, #5,226,084 and #5,195,166.

Do not charge the transceiver and battery pack when they are wet. Ensure that there are no metallic items located between the transceiver and the battery pack. 'RQRWXVHRSWLRQVQRWVSHFLÀHGE\Kenwood. If the die-cast chassis or other transceiver part is damaged, do not touch the damaged parts. If a headset or headphone is connected to the transceiver, reduce the transceiver volume. Pay attention to the volume level when turning the squelch off. Do not place the microphone cable around your neck while near machinery that may catch the cable. Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces. Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your eyes. When the transceiver is used for transmission for many hours, the radiator and chassis will become hot. Do not touch these locations when replacing the battery pack. Always switch the transceiver power off before installing optional accessories. The charger is the device that disconnects the unit from the AC mains line. The AC plug should be readily accessible.

Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations:

• Near explosives or blasting sites.
• In aircrafts. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the instructions and regulations provided by the airline crew.)
• Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of radio devices, including but not limited to medical facilities.
• Near persons wearing pacemakers. Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations, unless the model is specifically qualified for such use (Intrinsically Safe such as approved by Factory Mutual, CSA):

‡ ,QH[SORVLYHDWPRVSKHUHV LQÁDPPDEOHJDVGXVWSDUWLFOHV

metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).

• While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.

Do not remove the black sheet from the reverse side of the transceiver (refer to the illustration below). Removal of this

of the transceiver and may cause it to break down. Additionally, in order to prevent damage to the seal, do not allow it to come in contact with foreign materials. iii

Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason. Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while

may be ejected and strike the driver or passengers. Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or if any metallic parts are exposed from the antenna covering. Transmitting at such a time may result in a high-frequency burn. If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your Kenwood dealer. Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against

WUDIÀFODZV3OHDVHFKHFNDQGREVHUYHWKHYHKLFOHUHJXODWLRQV

in your area. Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions. Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals. Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace only with the same type.

Water Resistance and Maintenance (NX-200/ NX-300 Only) This transceiver conforms to the following standards:

IP67:7KH,3VWDQGDUGLVWKHSURWHFWLRQOHYHOVSHFLÀHGE\WKH

LQWHUQDWLRQDOVWDQGDUG,(&7KHÀUVWQXPHUDOLQGLFDWHVWKH

“dust-resistant” level and the second numeral indicates the “waterresistant” level. PRECAUTIONS

• The applicable standards listed above do not assure that the transceiver can be used in water. The transceiver may be damaged in a situation in which the maximum depth is over 1 meter or the maximum submersion time exceeds 30 minutes.
• Observe the following precautions to maintain the transceiver’s water-resistant performance: a) Do not drop or apply strong physical shocks to the transceiver. b) When you disassemble the transceiver or open the cover of the option board, IP67 will no longer be maintained. After disassembling the transceiver or opening the cover of the option board, if you want to continue maintaining IP67, contact your dealer or Authorized Service Center. c) Do not soak the transceiver in water that contains a solvent or surfactant, such as detergent or alcohol.
• If it is soaked in muddy water or salt water (including sea water),

LWPD\EHFRPHFRUURGHG,PPHGLDWHO\ÁXVKZLWKIUHVKZDWHUDQG

then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

• If water is splashed onto the microphone, the battery, or the antenna terminal, clean and dry them with a soft cloth before reconnecting to the transceiver.
• When water gets into the microphone opening or the speaker grill, the voice level may become low or distorted. Lightly shake WKHWUDQVFHLYHUWRUHPRYHWKHZDWHUIURPWKHVSHDNHUDQGRU microphone before operating the transceiver. ‡ 8VHRIDQ\RSWLRQRQWKHWUDQVFHLYHUQRWVSHFLÀHGE\Kenwood, may reduce or void the water resistant and dust resistant performance.
• When using an option with the transceiver, ensure that it corresponds with the IP67 standard.
