noTiCes To The user  
Government law prohꢀbꢀts the operatꢀon of unlꢀcensed transmꢀtters wꢀthꢀn the terrꢀtorꢀes under  
government control.  
Illegal operatꢀon ꢀs punꢀshable by fꢀne and/or ꢀmprꢀsonment.  
Refer servꢀce to qualꢀfꢀed technꢀcꢀans only.  
Mobꢀle statꢀons are normally only lꢀcensed up to 30 watts (Canada only).  
SAFETY: It ꢀs ꢀmportant that the operator ꢀs aware of, and understands, hazards  
common to the operatꢀon of any transceꢀver.  
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)  
Turn OFF your transceꢀver whꢀle takꢀng on fuel or whꢀle parked ꢀn gasolꢀne servꢀce statꢀons. Do  
not carry spare fuel contaꢀners ꢀn the trunk of your vehꢀcle ꢀf your transceꢀver ꢀs mounted ꢀn the  
trunk area.  
INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS  
Do not operate your transceꢀver when somebody ꢀs eꢀther standꢀng near to or touchꢀng the  
antenna, to avoꢀd the possꢀbꢀlꢀty of radꢀo frequency burns or related physꢀcal ꢀnjury.  
DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS  
Operatꢀng the transceꢀver wꢀthꢀn 500 feet (150 m) of dynamꢀte blastꢀng caps may cause them  
to explode. Turn OFF your transceꢀver when ꢀn an area where blastꢀng ꢀs ꢀn progress, or where  
“TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” sꢀgns have been posted. If you are transportꢀng blastꢀng caps  
ꢀn your vehꢀcle, make sure they are carrꢀed ꢀn a closed metal box wꢀth a padded ꢀnterꢀor. Do not  
transmꢀt whꢀle the caps are beꢀng placed ꢀnto or removed from the contaꢀner.

PREPARATION  
Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected  
from the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Electronic fuel injection, anti-  
skid braking, and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction.  
If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist  
his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally while transmitting.  
Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your Kenwood dealer, an authorized  
Kenwood service facility, or the factory.  
ToolS required  
Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend  
below the mounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring  
or parts.  
The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:  
ꢀ/4 inch (6 mm) or larger electric drill  
5/3ꢁ inch (4.ꢁ mm) drill bit for the self-tapping screws used to mount the optional  
mounting bracket  
Circle cutters  
power cAble connecTion  
The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and  
voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.  
Use only a Kenwood optional DC power cable.  
Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable.  
1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where a power  
cable can be passed through. If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the  
firewall, then install a rubber grommet.  
2 Run the two power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine  
compartment, from the passenger compartment.  
3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to  
the negative (–) battery terminal.  
Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.  
4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.  
Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for  
servicing while keeping the power applied.  
 
inSTAlling The TrAnSceiver  
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket and screw  
set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.  
1 Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a  
template. Drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using self-tapping  
screws.  
Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy  
reach of the user and where there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for  
cable connections.  
2 Connect the antenna and power cable to the transceiver.  
3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using  
hex-headed screws.  
4 Mount a microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of  
the user yet not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.  
When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value.  
Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.

If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel, you will hear a call only  
if the signal tone matches the tone set up on your transceiver.  
Note: Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls. This will prevent you from listening  
to unwanted calls. It does not make calls private, it only prevents them from being heard by  
transceivers set with a different signaling code. Refer to “SIGNALING” on page ꢁ8 for details.  
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

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.  
The  
(KCH-ꢀ4) or  
(KCH-ꢀ5) icon appears on the display.  
The channel add indicator (KCH-ꢀ4:  
/ KCH-ꢀ5:  
) will  
appear on the display when the selected channel is added to the scan sequence.  
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:  
If the currently selected channel is not added to the scanning sequence, Scan will not function  
when pressing the key programmed as Scan. Be sure that the selected channel is added to  
the scanning sequence before operating Scan.  
In order for Scan to function, there must be at least ꢁ channels added to the scanning  
sequence. If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate.  
TemporAry chAnnel locKouT  
If a key is programmed with the Scan Delete function, each channel can be  
locked out of the scan sequence manually.  
During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning  
sequence by selecting them and pressing the Scan Delete key.

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 ꢁ. So, if a call is received on Priority channel ꢀ while a call is  
already on Priority channel ꢁ, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority  
channel ꢀ.  
“Pꢀ” appears on the sub-display when the displayed channel is Priority channel ꢀ, “Pꢁ”  
appears when the displayed channel is Priority channel ꢁ, and “PP” appears when the  
displayed channel is both Priority channel ꢀ and Priority channel ꢁ.  
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 zone and channel selected are assigned as the new revert zone and  
channel.  
Selected + Talkback: If the zone and channel have been changed during Scan, the  
newly selected zone and channel are assigned as the new revert zone and channel.  
The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive channel.  
Priority 1: If your dealer has programmed a Priority ꢀ channel, this channel is the  
revert zone and channel.  
Priority 1 + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Priority ꢀ channel, this channel  
is the revert zone and channel. The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive  
channel.  
Priority 2: If your dealer has programmed a Priority ꢁ channel, this channel is the  
revert zone and channel.  
Priority 2 + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Priority ꢁ channel, 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. 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)  
If a key has been programmed with Operator Selectable Tone, you can  
reprogram the QT tone or DQT code on each of your channels.  
1 Select your desired zone and channel.  
2 Press and hold the key programmed as Operator Selectable Tone for  
ꢀ second.  
The  
(KCH-ꢀ4) or (KCH-ꢀ5) icon appears on the display when this  
function is activated.  
3 Press the GRP  
and  
keys, rotate the CH control, or enter the list  
number directly using a DTMF keypad to select your desired tone or code  
from ꢀ to 40.  
4 Press the PF 1 or DTMF key to exit OST Selection mode.  
OST is activated after selecting a list number and exiting OST Selection mode.  
After selecting and setting up your desired tone or code, press the Operator  
Selectable Tone key to toggle the OST function ON and OFF.

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 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 microphone PTT switch. Your dealer can program the TOT  
time in the range of ꢀ5 seconds to ꢁ0 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 microphone PTT switch  
before the timer has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the transceiver will  
not enter transmit mode.  
SignAl STrengTh indicATor  
The signal strength indicator displays the strength of received signals.  
Strong signal  
Sufficient signal  
Weak signal  
Very weak signal  
On Trunking channels, the antenna indicator flashes while searching for a control  
channel.  
compAnder  
The compander is programmed only for specific Conventional FM channels. If it  
has been programmed by your dealer, transmitted signals are compressed before  
being sent and received signals are expanded when they arrive.  
Your dealer must set the compander for both the transmit side and the receive side in  
order for the compander to operate.  
This background feature allows higher clarity of signals, avoiding excessive noise  
and interference. This feature is not used on digital channels, as they are not  
susceptible to noise and interference.  
35  
 
buSy chAnnel locKouT (bcl)  
If set up by your dealer, you will be unable to transmit on a conventional channel  
if it is already in use. Under these circumstances, use a different channel or wait  
until the channel becomes free.  
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can transmit overtop  
of the current signal:  
1 Press and hold the microphone PTT switch.  
If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.  
2 Release the microphone PTT switch, then press and hold the microphone PTT  
switch again within half a second.  
3 Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.  
ouT oF rAnge

is out of range. When it can no longer communicate with any site, an out of range  
tone sounds and “OUT OF RANGE” appears on the display.  
SiTe TrunKing  
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate a  
network condition on the registered site. When the transceiver receives a network  
disabled message, “SITE TRUNK” appears on the display.  
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.  
pTT id
