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.

TOOLS REQUIRED

Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below

the mounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.

The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:

• 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger electric drill

• 5/32 inch (4.2 mm) drill bit for the self-tapping screws used to mount the optional

mounting bracket

• Circle cutters

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.

◆ Use only a KENWOOD optional DC power cable.

◆ Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable.

1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where a power

cable can be passed through. If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the

firewall, then install a rubber grommet.

2 Run the two power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine

compartment, from the passenger compartment.

3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to

the negative (–) battery terminal.

• Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.

4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.

• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for

servicing while keeping the power applied.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING THE TRANSCEIVER

For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket and screw

set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.

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.

• 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 power cable to the transceiver.

3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using

hex-headed screws.

4 Mount a microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of

the user yet not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

SELECTING A ZONE AND CHANNEL

Select the desired zone using the GRP and keys. Each zone contains a

group of channels.

Select the desired channel using the CH control. Each channel is programmed

with settings for transmitting and receiving.

• If programmed by your dealer, the transceiver will announce the zone and channel

numbers as you change them.

Names can be programmed for zones and personalities. Your dealer can set the

zone name to a length of 0 to 14 digits. To fit on the display, personality names

will shorten appropriately. (KCH-14 models display only 12 digits). For example,

if the channel name is “–CHANNEL1–” and the zone name is “KENWOOD”, and

your dealer sets the zone name to 4-digits, the following display will appear:

KCH-14 (12-digit display): KENW–CHANNEL

KCH-15 (14-digit display): KENW–CHANNEL1–

TRANSMITTING

1 Select the desired zone and channel using the GRP and keys and the

CH control.

2 Press (or press and hold) the key programmed as Monitor to check whether

or not the channel is free.

• If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free.

3 Press the microphone PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release

the PTT switch to receive.

• The TX indicator lights red while transmitting. The BUSY indicator lights green

while receiving a signal. This indicator can be disabled by your dealer.

• For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphone approximately

1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth.

■ MAKING GROUP CALLS (APCO)

Channels programmed for APCO operation already have a Group ID

assigned. For these channels, you do not need to perform steps 1 to 3,

below. Otherwise, if a key has been programmed with Talkgroup, you can

select a group ID from the list to make a call to those parties.

1 Press the key programmed as Talkgroup.

2 Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to select a group

ID/name from the list that has been pre-entered into your transceiver.

• The target group ID/name appears on the display.

3 Press the PF 1 key (the first key from the left, after the CH control) to

accept the group ID/name.

4 Press and hold the microphone PTT switch to make the call.

• Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.

■ MAKING INDIVIDUAL CALLS (APCO)

If a key has been programmed with Individual, you can make calls to

specified persons.

1 Press the key programmed as Individual.

2 Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to select a unit ID

from the list that has been pre-entered into your transceiver.

• Alternatively, you can directly enter a unit ID by using a DTMF keypad.

• The target unit ID/name appears on the display.

3 Press and hold the microphone PTT switch to make the call.

• Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.

RECEIVING

1 Select the desired zone and channel using the GRP and keys and the

CH control.

2 When you hear a caller’s voice, readjust the volume as necessary.

• If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel, you will hear a call only

if the signal tone matches the tone set up on your transceiver.

Note: Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls. This will prevent you from listening to

unwanted calls. It does not make calls private, it only prevents them from being heard by

transceivers set with a different signaling code. Refer to “SIGNALING” on page 25 for details.

■ RECEIVING GROUP CALLS (APCO)

When you receive a call on your group channel and the received group ID

matches the ID set up on your transceiver, you can hear the caller’s voice.

Readjust the volume as necessary.

■ RECEIVING INDIVIDUAL CALLS (APCO)

When you receive an individual call, a ringing tone will sound and the display

will show the caller’s ID. To respond to the call, press and hold the

microphone PTT switch and speak into the transceiver as you would during a

normal transmission.

SCAN

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. While

scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops on

a channel if a signal is present.

To begin scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.

• The (KCH-14) or

SCAN

(KCH-15) icon appears on the display.

• The channel add indicator (KCH-14:

/ KCH-15: ) will

appear on the display when the selected channel is added to the scan sequence.

• The channels included in the scan list are scanned.

• When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that channel. The

transceiver will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present. When

the signal “drops out”, the transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before

Scan resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a signal is received

during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.

To stop scanning, press the Scan key again.

Note:

◆ If the currently selected channel is not added to the scanning sequence, Scan will not function

when pressing the key programmed as Scan. Be sure that the selected channel is added to the

scanning sequence before operating Scan.

◆ In order for Scan to function, there must be at least 2 channels added to the scanning sequence.

If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate.

TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT

If a key is programmed with the Scan Delete function, each channel can be

locked out of the scan sequence manually.

During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning

sequence by selecting them and pressing the Scan Delete key.

• The channel add indicator (KCH-14: / KCH-15: ) no

longer appears on the display for that channel.

• The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted,

the channels will reset and the channel will again be in the scanning sequence.

PRIORITY SCAN

A Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to function.

When using a single Priority channel, 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 normal channel.

When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given precedence over

Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel 1 while a call is

already on Priority channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority

channel 1.

• “P1” appears on the sub-display when the displayed channel is Priority channel 1, “P2”

appears when the displayed channel is Priority channel 2, and “PP” appears when the

displayed channel is both Priority channel 1 and Priority channel 2.

SCAN REVERT

The Scan Revert channel is the channel selected when you press the PTT switch

to transmit during Scan. Your dealer can program 1 of 6 types of Scan Revert

channels on your transceiver:

• Selected: The last zone and channel selected are assigned as the new revert zone

and channel.

• Selected + Talkback: If the zone and channel have been changed during Scan, the

newly selected zone and channel are assigned as the new revert zone and channel.

The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive channel.
