PREPARATION
CHARGING THE Ni-MH BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it
before use.
The initial charging of the battery pack after purchase or
extended storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring the
battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After repeating
the charge/discharge cycle 2 or 3 times, the operating
capacity will increase to normal.
◆
◆
Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged.
Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the
battery pack may be damaged.
After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger.
Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may reduce the
battery pack life due to overcharging.
Note:
◆
◆
◆
The ambient temperature should be between 32°F and 104°F
(0°C and 40°C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside
this range may not fully charge the battery.
Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a Ni-MH
battery pack before charging. Using the transceiver while
charging its battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases
even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery
pack.

12
SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver
channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal
on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.
The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal
is no longer present. Your dealer programs the delay time
between signal drop-out and Scan resumption. If a signal is
received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on
the same channel.
Note: You can only use Scan if your dealer has programmed at least
2 channels and they are not locked out of Scan.
To start scanning, momentarily press the key programmed as
either Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete.
•
Scanning starts from the current channel and ascends
through the channel numbers.
The LED indicator flashes green.
•
•
When a signal is received on a channel and signalling
matches, the LED indicator lights green.
To end Scan, press the Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete
key again.
■ Priority Scan
If enabled, a priority channel is set up one of two ways:
•
Your dealer may set up a fixed priority channel on your
transceiver.
You can select your own priority channel, prior to
•
scanning, using the Channel selector.
During Scan, if a priority channel has been set up on your
transceiver, 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 regular channel.
The transceiver will remain on the Priority channel until the
signal drops out. Your dealer programs the delay time
between signal drop-out and scan resumption.
13
■ Temporary Delete
If a key is programmed with the Temporary Delete or
Scan + Temporary Delete function, you can temporarily
remove specific channels from the scanning sequence
during Scan. When Scan stops at a channel, you can
remove that channel from the scanning sequence by
pressing and holding the key programmed as Temporary
Delete or Scan + Temporary Delete for 1 second.
•
•
•
You cannot delete the Priority channel, if one has been
set up.
You cannot delete a channel if there will be less than
2 channels available for scanning remaining.
To add the channel back into the Scan list, simply exit
Scan mode or switch the transceiver OFF and then ON
again.
■ Revert Channel
During Scan, pressing the PTT switch to transmit will
cause the transceiver to select the revert channel. Your
dealer can program the revert channel using one of the
following methods:
•
Selected: The last channel selected is assigned as
the new revert channel.
•
Selected + Talkback: If the channel has been
changed during Scan, the newly selected channel is
assigned as the new revert channel. However, the
transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan
is currently paused.
•
•
Priority: If your dealer has programmed a Priority
channel, it is the revert channel.
Priority + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a
Priority channel, it is the revert channel. However, the
transceiver also transmits on the channel where Scan
is currently paused.
14
SCRAMBLER
Scrambler allows you to hold a conversation in complete
privacy. When activated, any other party listening in on your
channel will be unable to understand your conversation. The
transceiver scrambles your voice so that anybody listening to
your conversation will not be able to understand what you are
saying.
In order for members of your own group to understand your
call while you are using the Scrambler, all other members
must also activate the Scrambler on their transceivers. This
scrambles everybody’s voice while transmitting and
descrambles the voice message on your own transceiver
when you receive the message.
To activate the Scrambler, press the key programmed as
Scrambler.
To deactivate the Scrambler, press the Scrambler key again.
Note: There are 2 options for using the Scrambler. Your dealer can
activate or deactivate the built-in Scrambler function of the
transceiver, or they can add a more secure optional scrambler board
to your transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.
15
VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This
feature must first be activated by your dealer, and can only be
used if you are using a supported headset.
When operating VOX, you must set a VOX Gain level. This
setting allows the transceiver to recognize sound levels. If the
microphone is too sensitive, it will begin transmitting when
there is noise in the background. If it is not sensitive enough,
it 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.
To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the
following steps:
1
Connect the headset to the
transceiver (page 7).
•
The VOX function does not
activate when a headset is not
connected to the accessory
terminal of the transceiver.
2
3
With the transceiver power OFF,
press and hold the Side 1 key
while turning the transceiver
power ON.
1
Continue to hold the Side 1 key
until a beep sounds.

When the Side 1 key is
released, the transceiver
announces the VOX Gain level.
16
4
Press the Side 1 key to increase
the VOX Gain level and the
Side 2 key to decrease the level.
•
The VOX Gain can be
adjusted from levels 1 to 10
and OFF.
•
The transceiver announces
the VOX Gain level as you
adjust it. If OFF is selected, a
beep sounds.
5
6
Press the PTT switch to save the
setting.
•
•
A beep will sound.
The transceiver announces
the new VOX Gain level.
Turn the transceiver power OFF
and the ON again to activate
VOX.
Note:
◆
If a speaker/ microphone is connected to the transceiver while
the VOX function is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is
configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received
signals may cause the transceiver to start transmission.
◆
When you operate the VOX function, you must use an optional
KHS-1 or KHS-21 accessory.
17
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is 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 set by your dealer (default is 1 minute),
the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will
sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.
Your dealer can program a warning function to alert you
before the TOT expires. Continuously transmitting for the
time specified by your dealer will cause the warning tone to
sound.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other
parties who may be using the same channel that you
selected. Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use
will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone and
transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release
the PTT switch to stop the tone and return to receive mode.
Note: Ask your dealer for an explanation on how BCL functions
when using QT, DQT, DTMF, or FleetSync signalling.
BATTERY SAVE
If activated by your dealer, the Battery Save function will
decrease the amount of power used when a signal is not
being received and no operations are being performed (no
keys are being pressed, and no switches are being turned).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed
for 5 seconds, Battery Save turns ON. When a signal is
received or an operation is performed, Battery Save turns
OFF.
18
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be
recharged or replaced.
While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomes
low, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LED
indicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack.
CHANNEL ANNUNCIATION
When changing the channel using the Channel selector, an
audio voice will announce the selected channel number, after
you stop changing the channel. (Channel Annunciation can
be activated or deactivated by your dealer.)
QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signalling 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 signalling 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. This allows you to ignore (not hear)
these calls. 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.
19
STUN
When the transceiver receives a call containing a stun code,
either transmit mode will be disabled, or both receive mode
and transmit mode will be disabled. (This function is used
when a transceiver is stolen or lost, for example.) Stun is
cancelled when the transceiver receives a call with a stun
reset code.
DUAL-TONE MULT-FREQUENCY (DTMF) SIGNALLING
DTMF Signalling is either enabled or disabled by your dealer.
This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver
receives the DTMF code (3 to 10 digits) programmed in your
transceiver. Each transceiver is normally programmed with a
unique code. You will not hear calls from transceivers that are
not programmed with a matching code.
Your dealer may also program a Group Code in your
transceiver. Ask your dealer for further details.
When you receive a signal containing the correct tones,
squelch opens and you will hear the call.
•
•
The LED indicator momentarily flashes orange.
To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key
programmed as Monitor or Monitor Momentary.
•
•
•
Your dealer can program the squelch to close again after a
specific time period elapses.
If Transpond for DTMF Signalling is programmed, an
acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling station.
If Call Alert for DTMF Signalling is programmed, an alert
tone will sound when the correct code is received.
20
FLEETSYNC OPERATION
FleetSync is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation
and is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function
opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the
Fleet code and ID code programmed in your transceiver.
Calls that do not contain the correct codes will not be heard.
■ Receiving
When you receive a signal containing both your Fleet code
and your ID code, squelch opens and you will hear the
call.
•
•
•
An alert tone will sound.
The LED indicator flashes orange.
To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the
key programmed as Monitor or Monitor Momentary.
■ Transmitting
To transmit a FleetSync signal, simply press the PTT
switch and make the call. If the selected channel has
been programmed with a FleetSync PTT ID, it will be
transmitted when the call is made.
BEGINNING/ END OF TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The Beginning of Transmission and End of Transmission
identification signals are used to access and release some
repeaters and telephone systems.
If Beginning of Transmission is set, the ID signal is transmitted
when you press the PTT switch.
If End of Transmission is set, the ID signal is transmitted when
you release the PTT switch.
If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press
and release the PTT switch.
