THANK YOU
PRECAUTIONS
We are grateful you decided to purchase this
KENWOOD FM trarlSGeiller. TtJe TM-733 series of
mobile transceNers were developed to satisfy ltle
requirement for e compact rig that's simple to operate
yet contains numerous sophisticated features. The
dual band operarton wdl be apprec.ated by hams whO
want access to VHF and UHF bands with a transceiver
smaller than some single banders.
Please observe the fOllowing precautiOns to prevoot
fife, petSO<lal injury, and transce.ver damage·
•
Do not transmit with htgh output power ror extended
periods. The transceiver may overheat.
Do not modify this transcetver unless instructed by
this manual or by some other approved
KENWOOD communication.
KENWOOD believes you wWbe sattsfied with this
product's quality and features.
Do nol expose lhe transceiver to long pefiods of
direct sunlight or place tne ltansce•ver close to
heating appliances
Do not place lhe transcervGt m excesSIVely dusty or
hurnd a~eas. Of 011 unstable surfaoes.
ti an abnormal odor or smoke iS detected comng
!tum the transten~er, tum OFF \he power
immeo~ately. Contact a KENWOOD service statron
or yoor dealer.
• The transceiVer is desrgnlld lor a 13.8 V power
$0\.lrce. Never use a 24 V batte<y to power the
trallSCeiver.
