NOTICE TO THE USER
One or more of the following statements may be
applicable for this equipment.
FCC WARNING
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy.
Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful
interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in
the instruction manual.  The user could lose the authority to
operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or
modification is made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED
BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.  However, there is no guarantee that the
interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
¥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
¥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
¥Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
¥Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent
fire, personal injury, or transceiver damage:
¥ Do not transmit with high output power for
extended periods.  The transceiver may overheat.
¥ Do not modify this transceiver unless instructed by
this manual or by KENWOOD documentation.
¥ When using a regulated power supply, connect the
specified DC cable (option) to the DC IN jack on
the transceiver.  The supply voltage must be
between 12 V and 16 V to prevent damaging the
transceiver.
¥ When connecting the transceiver to a cigarette
lighter socket in a vehicle, use the specified
cigarette lighter cable (option).
¥ Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of
direct sunlight nor place the transceiver close to
heating appliances.
¥ Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty
areas, humid areas, wet areas, nor on unstable
surfaces.
¥ If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming
from the transceiver, turn OFF the power
immediately and remove the battery case or the
battery pack from the transceiver.  Contact your
authorized KENWOOD dealer, customer service,
or service station.

THANK YOU
THANK YOU
Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TH-F6A/
TH-F7E transceiver.  It has been developed by a
team of engineers determined to continue the
tradition of excellence and innovation in KENWOOD
transceivers.
First, donÕt let the size fool you.  This small FM
portable transceiver features 2 m, 1.25 m (TH-F6A
only), and 70 cm amateur radio band operation plus
another all-mode 100 kHz to 1.3 GHz receiver (SSB
and CW are up to 470 MHz).  In the meantime, as
you learn how to use this transceiver, you will also
find that KENWOOD is pursuing Òuser friendlinessÓ.
For example, each time you change the Menu No. in
Menu mode, you will see a text message on the
display that lets you know what you are configuring.
Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically
sophisticated and some features may be new to you.
Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from
the designers.  Allow the manual to guide you through
the learning process now, then act as a reference in
the coming years.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING THE Li-ion BATTERY PACK
Note:  Because the battery pack is provided uncharged, you must
charge the battery pack before using it with the transceiver.  To
charge the battery pack, refer to ÒCHARGING THE Li-ion BATTERY
PACKÓ {page 2}.
1Position the two grooves on the edge and two
hooks at the bottom of the battery pack over the
corresponding guides on the back of the
transceiver.
2Slide the battery pack along the back of the
transceiver until the release latch on the top of the
transceiver locks the battery pack in place.
3To remove the battery pack, push the release latch
on top, then slide the battery pack down.
INSTALLING ALKALINE BATTERIES
1To open the battery case (BT-13), push the locking
tab in, then pull the cover back.
2Insert (or remove) four AA (LR6) alkaline batteries.
¥ Be sure to match the battery polarities with
those marked in the bottom of the battery case.
3Align the two tabs on the battery case cover, then
close the cover until the locking tabs click.
4To install the battery case onto (or remove it from)
the transceiver, follow steps 1 to 3 of
ÒINSTALLING THE Li-ion BATTERY PACKÓ
{above}.
Note:  When you use the alkaline batteries, access Menu No. 30
(BATTERY), then select ÒALKALINEÓ.  Otherwise, the battery
remaining cannot be measured correctly {page 36}.
INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Hold the base of the supplied antenna, then screw
the antenna into the connector on the top panel of the
transceiver until secure.
a
ATTACHING THE HAND STRAP
If desired, you can attach the supplied hand strap to
the transceiver.
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP
You can install the supplied belt clip to the transceiver
tightening the 2 supplied screws.

1  PREPARATION
CHARGING THE Li-ion BATTERY PACK
The Li-ion battery pack can be charged after it has
been installed onto the transceiver.  The battery pack
is provided uncharged for safety purposes.
1Confirm that the transceiver power is OFF.
¥ While charging the battery pack, leave the
transceiver power OFF.
2Insert the charger plug into the DC IN jack of the
transceiver.
3Plug the charger into an AC wall outlet.
¥ Charging starts and 2 LEDs on the top panel
lights orange.
4It takes approximately 6.5 hours to charge an
empty PB-42L Li-ion battery pack.  When charging
completes, the LEDs unlight; remove the charger
plug from the transceiver DC IN jack.
5Unplug the charger from the AC wall outlet.
Note:
uIf you turn the transceiver ON and press [F], [LOW/ BATT] while
charging the battery pack, ÒCHARGINGÓ appears.  ÒSTANDBYÓ
appears when the charging completes.
uThe transceiver becomes warm while charging the battery pack.
uIf the charger plug is plugged into the DC IN jack before the
battery pack is attached, turn the transceiver ON and then OFF
again to initiate the charging.
uExceeding the specified charge period shortens the useful
life of the Li-ion battery pack.
uThe provided charger is designed to charge only the
provided PB-42L Li-ion battery pack.  Charging other models
of battery packs may damage the charger and battery pack.
uDo not press [PTT] while charging.
uThe battery pack must be kept in cool and dry place.
uNever leave the battery pack in the direct sun light.
CONNECTING TO A CIGARETTE LIGHTER
SOCKET
To connect the transceiver to the cigarette lighter
socket in your vehicle, use an optional PG-3J
Cigarette Lighter cable.
While the PG-3J is connected to the cigarette lighter
plug, the transceiver automatically start charging the
Li-ion battery pack (PB-42L).  When you operate the
transceiver, it charges the Li-ion battery pack in back
ground.  If the transceiver is turned OFF, the 2 LEDs
light orange while charging.  When the charging
completes, they turn OFF {above}.
To connect with an external 24 V power source via a DC-DC
converter, only use the optional PG-3J Cigarette Lighter cable.
Using the PG-2W DC cable in this situation may cause a fire.

Note:  If the input voltage exceeds approximately 16.5 V, warning
beeps sound and ÒVOLTAGE ERRORÓ appears.
CONNECTING TO A REGULATED POWER
SUPPLY
To connect the transceiver to an appropriate
regulated power supply, use an optional PG-2W
DC cable.
1Confirm that the power of both the transceiver and
the power supply are OFF.
2Connect the optional PG-2W DC cable to the
power supply; the red lead to the positive (+)
terminal, and the black lead to the negative (Ð)
terminal.
3Connect the barrel plug on the DC cable to
the DC IN jack of the transceiver.
If the transceiver is turned OFF while a regulated
power supply is connected with the DC IN jack, it
automatically initiates charging the Li-ion battery pack
(PB-42L) {above}.
Note:
uIf the DC power supply voltage is below 12.0 V DC, you may not
be able to charge the Li-ion battery pack (PB-42L).
uThe supply voltage must be between 12.0 V and 16.0 V to
prevent damaging the transceiver.  If input voltage exceeds
approximately 16.5 V, warning beeps sound and ÒVOLTAGE
ERRORÓ appears.  Remove the DC IN jack plug immediately.
uIf the DC power supply voltage is above 14.5 V DC and ÒHÓ (High
Power) is selected, ÒHÓ icon blinks and the output power is
reduced to ÒLÓ level (Low Power) automatically {page 41}.
