INTRODUCTION

KENWOOD welcomes you to the Business Radio Service
(BRS). Your KENWOOD 2-way Business Radio is called a
transceiver, meaning transmitter and receiver.

For your convenience, this transceiver is equipped with
automatic squelch control which quiets your transceiver
when you are not receiving any calls. For your privacy, this
transceiver provides you with a feature called Quiet Talk
(QT). This feature allows you to use the same channel as
others without having to listen to their conversations.
Another feature of this transceiver is its sliding battery pack
which simplifies installing, removing, and charging.

Your transceiver provides safety and convenience almost
anywhere, indoors or out. it follows both EMI
(Electromagnetic interference) and military standards. The
communications range depends on your location, and can
be up to 5 miles (8 km) in open areas (refer to the chart

This KENWOOD transceiver is a precision device. Treat it
with care, and you will enjoy years of reliable operation.
