PREPARATION / INSTALLATION
UNPACKING AND CHECKING EQUIPMENT
Note: The following unpacking instructions are for use by your KENWOOD dealer, an authorized KENWOOD service facility, or the factory.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

For best performance: Use a properly adjusted, good-quality 50 antenna. Use a good-quality 50 coaxial cable and connector. Match the impedance of the coaxial cable and antenna so that the SWR is 1.5:1 or less. Ensure that all connections are clean and tight.
Carefully unpack the transceiver. We recommend that you identify the items listed in the following table before discarding the packing material. If any items are missing or have been damaged during shipment, file a claim with the carrier immediately.

SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

Item DC power cable (with fuses) 25 A Fuse 4A Foot pads Instruction manual Part Number E30-3489-XX F52-0044-XX F52-0038-XX J02-1302-XX B62-1866-XX Quantity 1
The transceivers protection circuit will activate if the SWR is greater than 2.5:1, but do not rely on protection to compensate for a poorly functioning antenna system. High SWR will cause the transmit output to drop, and may lead to radio frequency interference with consumer products such as stereo receivers and televisions. You may even interfere with your own transceiver. Reports that your signal is garbled or distorted, especially at peak modulation, may indicate that your antenna system is not transmitting efficiently.
BASE STATION INSTALLATION

FOOT PADS

A set of foot pads are provided so that you can protect the surface of your desk/table/shelf from scratching. Apply the foot pads to the base of the transceiver.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. Use a lightning arrestor to prevent fire, electric shock, or damage to the transceiver.

GROUND CONNECTION

A good DC ground is required to prevent such dangers as electric shock. A good RF ground is required for superior communcations, against which the antenna system can operate.
Both of these conditions can be met by providing a good earth ground for your station. Bury one or more ground rods or a large copper plate under the ground, and connect this to the transceiver GND terminal. Use heavy gauge wire or a copper strap, cut as short as possible, for the connection. Ensure that all connections are clean and tight.

DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
In order to use this transceiver as a base station, you will need a separate 13.6 V DC power supply with a current capacity of 20.5 A or higher (purchased separately).

MOBILE INSTALLATION

Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Do not substitute the supplied DC power cable with a cable with smaller gauge wires. Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be sure to switch the DC power supply OFF. Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.
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.
1 Connect the supplied DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and check that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black: negative). 2 Connect the connectorized end of the DC power cable to the DC 13.6 V powerconnector on the rear of the transceiver.
Press the DC power cable connector firmly into the connector on the radiotelephone until the locking tab clicks.
INSTALLING THE TRANSCEIVER
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.
REPLACING FUSES If the fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, only then replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer for assistance. Following are the ratings for fuses used with this transceiver: Transceiver: 4 A (for KAT-1 antenna tuner) DC cable: 25 A
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 supplied with the bracket.

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 the supplied power cable to the transceiver {page 3}. 3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it. 4 Mount the microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of the user.
The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a place where they will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
When replacing any fuse, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value. Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value. Replace blown fuses only after investigating and correcting the cause of the failed fuse.
For best performance: Use a properly adjusted, good-quality 50 antenna. Use a good-quality 50 coaxial cable and connector.
Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 reduces the efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
A high-quality ground installation significantly improves the performance of a mobile antenna.
5 Connect the DC power cable to the rear of the transceiver.
Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.
Note: We do not recommend using the cigarette lighter socket, as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop. If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.
Securely connect a low-resistance ground strap (or large gauge copper wire if unavailable) from the transceiver GND terminal to the vehicle chassis. Clean paint or dirt from the vehicle connection point to expose bare metal before connecting the ground.
DC 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.

When the transceiver has paused on a channel, you can transmit by pressing the microphone PTT switch. Depending on your dealer settings, Scan may either end when you transmit or continue to operate. If Scan is set to continue even after transmitting, then it will remain on the current channel for a predetermined time before continuing. This time is set so that if a signal re-appears on the channel, or if you transmit again, Scan will remain on the current channel until the signal either drops out or you stop transmitting.

SCAN REVERT CHANNEL

Your dealer can set up 1 of 4 different types of Scan Reverts for your transceiver. A Scan Revert channel is the channel that you are able to transmit on during Scan, when you press the microphone PTT switch. Preferred Channel: If your dealer has programmed a Preferred channel, this channel is the revert channel. Preferred Channel + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Preferred channel, this channel is the revert channel. However, when paused on a busy channel, you are able to talk back on that channel until Scan resumes. Selected Channel: The last channel selected before you begain scanning is assigned as the revert channel. Selected Channel + Talkback: The last channel selected before you begain scanning is assigned as the revert channel. However, when paused on a busy channel, you are able to talk back on that channel until Scan resumes.

SCAN RESUME TYPE

Scan Resume controls when the transceiver continues scanning after stopping due on a busy channel. Time-Operated Scan: After stopping on a busy channel, Scan resumes after a predetermined time (set by your dealer) whether or not the signal is still present on the channel. Carrier-Operated Scan: The transceiver remains on the busy channel until the signal ends. Scan resumes after a predetermined time (set by your dealer) after the signal has dropped out.

You can switch the VOX feature ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as VOX or by accessing Menu No. 6 {page 11}.

SCRAMBLER

If your dealer has installed an optional scrambler board, you can make private calls to others. Although the scrambler function does not offer complete privacy with your calls, it does prevent others from easily listening in on your calls. When activated, the transceiver distorts your voice so that anybody listening to your conversation will be unable to clearly hear what you are saying. In order for members of your own group to clearly hear your call while you are using the scrambler, all other members must have the same scrambler code set up on their transceivers. This distorts everybodys voice while transmitting and corrects the voice message on your own transceiver when you receive the call. To activate the scrambler, press the key programmed as Scrambler.
The icon appears on the display while the scrambler is active.
To properly use the VOX feature, you must properly set up the VOX Gain, Anti-VOX Gain, and VOX Delay Time for your environment {see below}.

VOX GAIN

This setting allows the transceiver to recognize sound levels. If the VOX Gain is too low, the microphone 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. Sensitivity levels range from 1 to 9. You can set the VOX Gain by pressing the key programmed as VOX Gain or by accessing Menu No. 8 {page 11}.
To deactivate the scrambler, press the Scrambler key again.
CHANGING THE SCRAMBLER CODE
It is possible to change the pre-set scrambler code on a channel: 1 Press and hold the key programmed as Scrambler for approximately 1 second.

ANTI-VOX GAIN

VOX operation is sometimes difficult when using high speaker volumes. Adjust this control to reduce the tendency of the transceiver to switch into transmit mode due to the speaker output. Use the minimum Anti-Gain level to achieve reliable VOX operation. Anti-Gain levels range from 0 to 9. You can set the Anti-VOX Gain by pressing the key programmed as Anti-VOX Gain or by accessing Menu No. 9 {page 11}.
