· When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the chassis will become hot. Do not touch these hot locations when replacing the battery pack.
· Do not immerse the transceiver in water.
· Do not hold the knob when carrying the transceiver. Doing so may cause the knob to come off and the transceiver to fall.
· If water enters the microphone opening or the speaker grill, the audio level may become unstable or distorted. Lightly shake the transceiver to remove the water from the speaker and/or microphone before operating the transceiver.
· Do not place the accessories of the transceiver or the items removed from the transceiver within reach of infants and children. There is a risk that these may be swallowed. If these are swallowed accidentally, consult a doctor immediately.
· If condensation forms, let it dry naturally or leave the transceiver in the same environment for a long time to eliminate the condensation before using the transceiver.
· Always switch the transceiver power OFF before installing or removing optional accessories. Make these changes out of the Hazardous Location.
· For safety reasons, we recommend that the battery charger be connected to an easily accessible AC socket.
· To dispose of batteries, be sure to comply with the laws and regulations in your country or region.
WARNING
Turn the transceiver power off in the following locations: · In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust
particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.). · While taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service
stations. · Near explosives or blasting sites. · In aircrafts. (Any use of the transceiver must follow the
instructions and regulations provided by the airline crew.) · Where restrictions or warnings are posted regarding the use of radio devices, including but not limited to medical facilities. · Near persons using pacemakers.
CAUTION
· Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason.
· Do not place the transceiver on or near airbag equipment while the vehicle is running. When the airbag inflates, the transceiver may be projected and strike the driver or passengers.

· Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or if any metallic parts are exposed from the antenna covering. Transmitting at such a time may result in an (Radio Frequency energy) burn.
· If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, switch the transceiver power off immediately, remove the battery pack from the transceiver, and contact your KENWOOD dealer.
· Use of the transceiver while you are driving may be against traffic laws. Please check and observe the vehicle regulations in your area.
· Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold conditions.
· Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals.
· Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace only with the same KENWOOD brand & model battery pack.
· Power OFF the transceiver before changing the battery pack.
· When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using a earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.
· When attaching a commercial strap to the transceiver, ensure that the strap is durable. In addition, do not swing the transceiver around by the strap; you may inadvertently strike and injure another person with the transceiver.
· If a commercially available neck strap is used, take care not to let the strap get caught on nearby machine.
· Do not use the PG-2W to connect directly to a vehicle battery (12 V). Extensive voltage could result in damaging the transceiver. If the input voltage exceeds approximately 17.5 V, the transceiver automatically turns OFF.
Caution about dustproofing and waterproofing
· The transceiver is not completely dustproof and waterproof. When the supplied antenna and the battery pack are installed, and when rubber caps for the SP/ MIC jack, microSD memory card slot, USB connector, and DC IN jack are securely attached with no gaps, the dustproofing equivalents with IP5x (protection against dust), and the waterproofing equivalents with IPx4 (protection against water spray) and IPx5 (protection against water jet). If the optional battery case (KBP-9) is attached, the dustproofing and waterproofing equivalent with IP54.
· The waterproofing of the transceiver is only for fresh water and tap water at room temperature (approximately 20°C /70°F). For hot water, cold water, salt water, soup, juice, tea, coffee, detergent, and medication, etc., the transceiver is not waterproof because the leakage into the transceiver increases.
· If a rubber cap is damaged or degrades, the dustproofing and waterproofing of the transceiver cannot be maintained. For the replacement and ordering, etc. of the rubber cap (Part Number: B0K-0148-00), contact the service center or the dealer of the place of purchase. (When you replace a rubber cap, the replacement of the rubber cap is your responsibility.)

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
For charging the battery pack with the supplied battery charger
The battery pack can be charged after it has been installed onto the transceiver. (The battery pack is provided uncharged for safety purposes.)
1 Plug the charger into an AC wall outlet.
· Plug in the charger while the transceiver power is OFF.
2 Insert the charger plug into the DC IN jack of the transceiver. DC IN jack
Polarity of DC power connector
· Charging starts and “Charging” appears on the display when the transceiver power is OFF. “Charging” disappears when charging is completed.
· The backlight is ON when pressing any key while charging.
· “Charging” does not appear when charging with the optional rapid battery charger.
3 It takes approximately 3.5 hours to charge an empty KNB75LA Li-ion battery pack (charging when the transceiver power is OFF). After 3.5 hours, remove the charger plug from the transceiver DC IN jack.
· Charging when the transceiver power is ON takes a longer time than charging when the transceiver power is OFF.
4 Unplug the charger from the AC wall outlet.
Note: ¡ Never leave the battery pack in direct sunlight. ¡ The transceiver becomes warm while charging the battery pack. ¡ While the battery pack is charged, the ambient temperature must
be within 0°C ~ 40°C (32°F ~ 104°F). Otherwise, charging does not start. If the transceiver senses that the temperature is more than 60°C (140° F) during charging, the transceiver stops charging. ¡ Before recharging the battery pack, use the battery pack until the transceiver stops receiving. ¡ Do not plug the charger into the DC IN jack for more than 24 hours. ¡ Do not expose the charger to dripping or splashing conditions. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the AC adapter or charger. ¡ Do not place the charger into the liquids. ¡ Unplug the charger as soon as possible after the charging period is over. ¡ The charger plug for an AC wall outlet should be used to disconnect an AC adapter from an AC outlet, and the charger plug must remain readily operable. ¡ After the battery pack is charged, do not unplug and plug the charger into the AC outlet again. Unpluging the charger will reset the charging timer and the battery pack will be charged again. This could result in over-charging. ¡ If the battery pack is not used for a long time, the battery pack capacity temporarily decreases. In this case, charge the battery and use the battery pack until the transceiver stops receiving. Repeat this procedure several times. The battery pack should recover its capacity. ¡ Exceeding the specified charge period shortens the useful life of the KNB-75LA battery pack. ¡ The provided charger is designed to charge only the KNB-75LA battery pack. Charging other models of battery packs may damage the charger and battery pack. ¡ Do not transmit while charging. ¡ When not in use, store the battery pack in a cool and dry place. ¡ Before charging the battery pack, ensure that the release lever is firmly closed. ¡ Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

PREPARATION

¡ It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the KNB-75LA with the optional rapid battery charger.
¡ Charging through the DC IN jack and USB connector when the transceiver is turned ON can be prevented. Access Menu No. 923 (page 25).
For charging the battery pack with the USB cable (USB Type-CTM)
1 Plug the USB cable into an AC adapter, etc. 2 Attach the battery pack to the transceiver, and plug the
USB plug into the USB connector. USB connector
