Precaution - Kenwood TH-D74A Guide De L'utilisateur

PRECAUTION

• Do not charge the transceiver and battery pack when they
are wet.
• Ensure that there are no metallic items located between
the transceiver and the battery pack.
• Do not use options not specifi ed by KENWOOD.
• If the die-cast chassis or other transceiver part is
damaged, do not touch the damaged parts.
• If a headset or earphone is connected to the transceiver,
reduce the transceiver volume. Pay attention to the
volume level when turning the squelch off.
• Do not place the microphone cable around your neck while
near machinery that may catch the cable.
• Do not place the transceiver on unstable surfaces.
• Ensure that the end of the antenna does not touch your
eyes.
• 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.
• 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 (infl ammable 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 infl ates, 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 traffi c laws. Please check and observe the
vehicle regulations in your area.
• Do not expose the transceiver to extremely hot or cold
conditions.
4
• 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 dustproofi ng and waterproofi ng
• 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,
Micro-USB connector, and DC IN jack are securely
attached with no gaps, the dustproofi ng complies with
IP5x (protection against dust), and the waterproofi ng
complies with IPx4 (protection against water spray)
and IPx5 (protection against water jet).
If the optional battery case (KBP-9) is attached, the
dustproofi ng and waterproofi ng comply with IP54.
• The waterproofi ng 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
dustproofi ng and waterproofi ng of the transceiver
cannot be maintained. For the replacement and
ordering, etc. of the rubber cap (Part Number: B0K-
0035-00), 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.)
