PREPARATION  
BAttery pAck precAutionS  
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.  
After charging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger.  
If the charger power is reset (turned ON after being turned  
OFF), recharging will start again and the battery pack will  
become overcharged.  
Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery pack.  
We recommend you switch the transceiver power OFF while  
charging is taking place.  
Do not charge the battery pack when the battery pack or  
transceiver is wet, to avoid the risk of fire or damage. Wipe  
the water from the battery pack or transceiver using a dry cloth  
before charging.  
Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by  
fire.  
Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.  
Charging the Battery Pack  
For charging procedures, refer to the battery charger  
Instruction Manual.

Information concerning the battery pack:  
The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent.  
Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or  
extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the  
battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.  
DANGER  
Do not disassemble or reconstruct 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-  
necklace 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 use or 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.  
 
3
DANGER  
Do not charge the battery near fires 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 remodelled 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.  
 
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 out with fresh water as soon as possible,  
without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If  
left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.  
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 different  
coloring, 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.  
 
Using the Li-ion Battery Pack  
Charge the battery pack before using it.  
To keep the battery discharge at a minimum, remove the  
battery pack from the equipment when it is not in use. Store  
the battery pack in a cool and dry location.  
When storing the battery pack for a long period:  
1
2
3
Remove the battery pack from the equipment.  
Discharge the battery pack, if possible.  
Store the battery pack in a cool (below 2ꢂ°C/ 77°F) and dry  
location.  
Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack  
As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the  
battery capacity decreases.  
Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades.  
It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler  
areas.  
The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and  
discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in  
a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave  
the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances.  
When the battery pack operating time becomes short, even  
if it is fully charged, replace the battery pack. Continuing to  
charge and discharge the battery pack may result in electrolyte  
leakage.

Receiving Group Calls (P25)  
When you receive a group call on a Conventional channel  
and the received group ID matches the ID set up on your  
transceiver, you can hear the caller’s voice.  
When you receive a group call on a Trunking channel, the  
transceiver automatically switches to the traffic channel to  
receive the call.

SCAN  
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver  
channels. While scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal  
on each channel and only stops on a channel if a signal is  
present.  
To begin scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.  
On K2/K3/Kꢂ/Kꢃ/K7 model transceivers, the  
the display.  
icon appears on  
The channels included in the scan list are scanned.  
When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that  
channel. The transceiver will remain on the busy channel until  
the signal is no longer present. When the signal “drops out”, the  
transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before Scan  
resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a  
signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain  
on the same channel.  
To stop scanning, press the Scan key again.  
Note: In order for Scan to operate, there must be at least 2  
channels added to the scanning sequence. If there are less  
channels than this, Scan will not operate.

ended and restarted, the channels will reset and the channel will  
again be in the scanning sequence.  
 
2ꢁ  
priority ScAn  
A Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority  
Scan to function.  
When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will  
automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is  
received on it, even if a call is being received on a normal  
channel.  
When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel ꢀ is given  
precedence over Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on  
Priority channel ꢀ while a call is already on Priority  
channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority  
channel ꢀ.  
On K2/K3/Kꢂ/Kꢃ/K7 model transceivers, “Pꢀ” appears on the  
display when the channel is Priority channel ꢀ, “P2” appears when  
the channel is Priority channel 2, and “PP” appears when the  
channel is both Priority channel ꢀ and Priority channel 2.  
ScAn revert  
The Scan Revert channel is the channel selected when you  
press the PTT switch to transmit during scan. Your dealer can  
program one of the following Scan Revert channels:  
Selected: The last channel selected is assigned as the  
new revert channel.  
Selected + Talkback: If the channel has been changed,  
the newly selected channel is assigned as the new revert  
channel. The transceiver “talks back” on the current  
channel.  
Priority 1/ Priority 2: If your dealer has programmed a  
Priority channel (either Priority ꢀ or Priority 2), this channel  
is the revert zone and channel.  
Priority 1 + Talkback/ Priority2 + Talkback: If your  
dealer has programmed a Priority channel (either Priority ꢀ  
or Priority 2), this channel is the revert zone and channel.  
The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive channel.  
Last Called: The last channel on which you made a call is  
assigned as the new revert channel.

SIGNALING  
Note: Signaling can be used only in Conventional FM Operation.  
Quiet tAlk (Qt)/ digitAl Quiet tAlk (dQt)  
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on  
your transceiver channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a  
sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear)  
calls from other parties who are using the same channel.  
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch  
will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is  
received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard  
by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your transceiver.  
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the  
same channel you are using, squelch will not open and you will  
not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) these  
calls. Although it may seem like you have your own private  
channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your  
calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.  
Operator Selectable Tone (OST) (K2/K3/K5/K6/K7 models only)

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)  
VOX can be activated or deactivated by your dealer. VOX  
operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature can  
only be used if you are using a supported headset.  
When operating VOX, you must set a VOX Gain level. This  
setting allows the transceiver to recognize sound levels. If  
the microphone is too sensitive, it will begin transmitting when  
there is noise in the background. If it is not sensitive enough, it  
will not pick up your voice when you begin speaking. Be sure  
to adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity to  
allow smooth transmission.

When you finish speaking, the transceiver automatically  
returns to receive mode.  
Depending on the pre-programmed delay time, it may take a

again, for 2 seconds.  
Note:  
If a speaker/ microphone is connected to the transceiver while  
the VOX function is switched ON and the VOX Gain Level is  
configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received  
signals may cause the transceiver to start transmission.  
When you operate the VOX function, you must use an optional  
KHS-ꢀꢀBL, KHS-ꢀꢁ, KHS-ꢀꢂ-BH, or KHS-ꢀꢂ-OH accessory.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS  
Your dealer can activate a variety of transceiver functions to  
perform without any additional operation on your part.  
time-out timer (tot)  
The Time-out Timer can be activated only on Conventional  
channels. It is used to prevent any caller from using a channel  
for an extended period of time.  
If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds  
the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and  
an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT  
switch. Your dealer can program the TOT time in the range of  
ꢀꢂ seconds to 20 minutes.  
If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound  
before the timer expires. Also, if programmed by your dealer,  
you may have to wait for a short duration before you can  
continue to transmit. If you press the PTT switch before  
the timer has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the  
transceiver will not enter transmit mode.  
BAttery SAver  
The Battery Saver function can be activated only on  
Conventional channels. When activated, this function  
decreases the amount of power used when a signal is not  
being received and no operations are being performed (no  
keys are being pressed and no switches are being turned).  
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for  
ꢂ seconds, Battery Saver activates. When a signal is received  
or an operation is performed, Battery Saver is disabled.

the display when the transceiver receives a network disabled  
message.  
control chAnnel hunt  
On Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for a  
control channel. While searching for a control channel, no  
signals can be received. The search begins automatically  
when you change to a Trunking channel.  
On K2/K3/Kꢂ/Kꢃ/K7 model transceivers, while hunting for a  
channel, the antenna icon will flash. When a control channel  
has been found, the antenna icon remains on the display without  
flashing.  
voice AnnunciAtion  
When changing the zone and/or channel, an audio voice will  
announce the new zone and channel number. The Voice  
Annunciation will not function when using the VGS-ꢀ option
