This applies to all parts : components, kits, or chassis. If the part number is not known, include the chassis or kit number of which it is a part, and a suffi- cient description of the required component for proper identification. PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS 1. UNPACKING Unpack the radio from its shipping container and check for accessory items. If any item is missing, please contact KENWOOD immediately. 2. LICENSING REQUIREMENTS Federal regulations require a station license for each radio installation (mobile or base) be obtained by the equipment owner. The licensee .is responsible for en- ring transmitter power, frequency, and deviation are hin the limits permitted by the station license. ansmitter adjustments may be performed only by nsed technician holding an FCC first, second or ss commercial radiotelephone operator's li- re is no license required to install or operate FCC COMPLIANCE AND TYPE NUMBERS 3. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKOUT 3-1. Introduction Each rad~o IS adjusted and tested before shipment. However, it is recommended that recerver and trans- mitter operation be checked for proper operatron be- fore ~nstallat~on. 3-2. Testing The radio should be tested complete with all cabl~ng and accessories as they wrll be connected In the f~nal installatron. Transmrtter frequency, dev~at~on, and power p~tput should be checked, as should recelver ~gn~jtivity, squelch operation, and audio output, 'Q~~equiprnent operation should be verif~ed.

Refer to the schematic diagrams, printed circuit board views, and alignment procedures contained in this manual. Note When you modify your radio as described in systern set-up, take the following precaution. The rating of pin 7 (SB) of the accessory connector cable (KCT-19) on the rear of the radio is 13.6V (IA). Insert a 1A fuse if you use the SB pin for external equipment. Accessory connector cable (KCT-19) Fuse (IA) If you do not intend to use the 3.5-mm jack for the external speaker, fit the supplied speaker-jack cap (B09-0235-XX) to stop dust and sand getting in.
