iv• Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.• Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment whilethe vehicle is running. When the airbag infl ates, the transceivermay be ejected and strike the driver or passengers.• Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or ifany 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 thetransceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately,remove the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact yourKENWOOD dealer.• Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be againsttraffi c laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulationsin your area.• Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or coldconditions.• Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metalobjects, as they may short the battery terminals.• Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced;replace only with the same type.• When attaching a commercial strap to the transceiver, ensurethat the strap is durable. In addition, do not swing the transceiveraround by the strap; you may inadvertently strike and injureanother person with the transceiver.• If a commercially available neck strap is used, take care not tolet the strap get caught on nearby machine.• When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry,it is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity).When using an earphone accessory in such conditions, it ispossible for the transceiver to send an electric shock throughthe earphone and to your ear. We recommend you use onlya speaker/microphone in these conditions, to avoid electricshocks.
