• Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either
   the antenna provided with the transceiver or another antenna authorized
   by KENWOOD.
Use only KENWOOD authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs,
belt clips, Speaker/ Mics or headsets etc.): When worn on the body, always
place the radio in a KENWOOD recommended clip or carrying case meant
for this product. The use of other than recommended or approved body-
worn accessories may result in RF exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s
occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits.

            CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for
occupational use, you must observe and adhere to the above points.

Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility
Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
if they are not adequately shielded or designed for electromagnetic
compatibility.  Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it can cause
interference to such equipment.
• Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so.  
    Hospitals and health care facilities use equipment that is sensitive to
    electromagnetic radiation.
• Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed.  
    Use of the transceiver must be in accordance with airline regulations
    and/or crew instructions.
