THANK YOU
THANK YOU
Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TS-2000(X)/
TS-B2000 transceiver. It has been developed by a
team of engineers determined to continue the
tradition of excellence and innovation in KENWOOD
transceivers.
This transceiver features dual Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) units to process IF and AF signals.
By taking maximum advantage of DSP technology,
the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 gives you enhanced
interference reduction capabilities and improves the
quality of audio that you transmit without installing
additional analog filters. You will notice the
differences when you fight QRM and QRN. As you
learn how to use this transceiver, you will also find
that KENWOOD is pursuing "user friendliness". For
example, each time you change the Menu No. in
Menu mode, you will see scrolling messages on the
display that tell you what you are selecting.
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.

The market code is shown on the carton box.
Refer to the specifications {page 105} for the
information on available operating frequencies.
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.
This product contains a CR Coin Cell Lithium
Battery which contains Perchlorate Material
special handling may apply.
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
iii
PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent
fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage:
·
Connect the transceiver only to a power source
described in this manual or as marked on the
transceiver itself.
·
Route all power cables safely. Ensure the power
cables can neither be stepped upon nor pinched
by items placed near or against the cables. Pay
particular attention to locations near AC
receptacles, AC outlet strips, and points of entry to
the transceiver.
·
Take care not to drop objects or spill liquid into the
transceiver through enclosure openings. Metal
objects, such as hairpins or needles, inserted into
the transceiver may contact voltages resulting in
serious electrical shocks. Never permit children to
insert any objects into the transceiver.
·
Do not attempt to defeat methods used for
grounding and electrical polarization in the
transceiver, particularly involving the power input
cable.
·
Adequately ground all outdoor antennas for this
transceiver using approved methods. Grounding
helps protect against voltage surges caused by
lightning. It also reduces the chance of a build-up
of static charge.

·
Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor
antenna from power lines is one and one-half
times the vertical height of the associated antenna
support structure. This distance allows adequate
clearance from the power lines if the support
structure fails for any reason.
·
Locate the transceiver so as not to interfere with
its ventilation. Do not place books or other
equipment on the transceiver that may impede the
free movement of air. Allow a minimum of
4 inches (10 cm) between the rear of the
transceiver and the wall or operating desk shelf.
·
Do not use the transceiver near water or sources
of moisture. For example, avoid use near a
bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a damp
basement or attic.
·
The presence of an unusual odor or smoke is
often a sign of trouble. Immediately turn the
power OFF and remove the power cable. Contact
a KENWOOD service station or your dealer for
advice.
·
Locate the transceiver away from heat sources
such as a radiator, stove, amplifier or other
devices that produce substantial amounts of heat.
·
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint
thinner, gasoline or benzene to clean the cabinet
of the transceiver. Use a clean cloth with warm
water or a mild detergent.
·
Disconnect the input power cable from the power
source when the transceiver is not used for long
periods of time.
·
Remove the transceiver's enclosure only to do
accessory installations described in this manual or
accessory manuals. Follow provided instructions
carefully, to avoid electrical shocks. If unfamiliar
with this type of work, seek assistance from an
experienced individual, or have a professional
technician do the task.
·
Enlist the services of qualified personnel in the
following cases:
a) The power supply or plug is damaged.
b) Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the
transceiver.
c) The transceiver has been exposed to rain.
d) The transceiver is operating abnormally or
performance has seriously degraded.
e) The transceiver has been dropped or the
enclosure damaged.
