KENWOOD NX3420 - Information concerning the battery pack: - 1

DANGER

- Do not disassemble or reconstruct the battery!

The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• 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-necklaces or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.

- Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!

If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/176°F)!

If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Avoid immersing the battery in water or getting it wet by other means!

If the battery becomes wet, wipe it off with a dry towel before use. If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

KENWOOD NX3420 - DANGER - 1

DANGER

- Do not charge the battery near fire or under direct sunlight! If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements!

If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step on it!

This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• 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.

- Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not solder directly onto the battery!

If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!

When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

KENWOOD NX3420 - DANGER - 1

DANGER

- Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!

The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!

If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.

KENWOOD NX3420 - DANGER - 1

WARNING

- Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!

If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- 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. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.

• Do not use an abnormal battery!

If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have color changes, is deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating equipment and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

BASIC OPERATIONS

SWITCHING POWER ON/ OFF

Turn the Power switch/ Volume control clockwise to switch the transceiver power ON.

Turn the Power switch/ Volume control counterclockwise to switch the transceiver power OFF.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

Rotate the Power switch/ Volume control to adjust the volume.

SELECTING A ZONE AND CHANNEL

1 Select the desired zone using the Selector, 4-way D-pad or the buttons programmed as [Zone Up]/ [Zone Down]. Each zone contains a group of channels.
2 Select the desired channel using the Selector, 4-way D-pad or the buttons programmed as [Channel Up]/ [Channel Down]. Each channel is programmed with settings for transmitting and receiving.

  • The default setting for the Selector is [Channel Select].
  • The transceiver may have names programmed for zones and channels. The zone name and channel name can contain up to 12 and 14 characters respectively. While selecting a zone, the zone name will appear above the channel name.
  • If programmed by your dealer, your transceiver will announce the zone and channel numbers as you change them.

TRANSMITTING

1 Select the desired zone and channel using the Selector or 4-way D-pad and the [Zone Up]/ [Zone Down] or [Channel Up]/ [Channel Down] buttons.
2 Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT switch to receive.
- The LED indicator lights red while transmitting and green while receiving a signal. This indicator can also be disabled by your dealer.
- For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphone approximately 3 cm to 4 cm (1.5 inches) from your mouth.

RECEIVING

Select the desired zone and channel. If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel, you will hear a call only if the received signal matches your transceiver settings.
