Introduction

Please read this manual completely from the first page to the last, to learn all the functions the

product offers. It is important to note that some of the operations may be explained in relation

to information in other chapters. By reading just one part of the manual, you may risk not

understanding the complete explanation of the function.

Before transmitting

There are many radio stations operating in proximity to the frequency ranges this product covers. Be careful

not to cause interference when transmitting around such radio stations.

■ Lightning

Any person is not safe outdoor during thunderstorm and lightning. This condition is getting worse if

somebody keeps a hand-held radio; chances of being hit by lightning are doubled since lightning may hit a

radio antenna as well. At this time, there is no hand-held radio having any kind of protection against lightning

current (which is higher than10 kA.). Note also that no car provides adequate protection of its passengers or

drivers against lightning as well. Therefore, Alinco will not take responsibility for any danger associated with

using its hand-held radios outdoor or inside the car during lightning.

■ Covering ranges

You may expect a range of approx.3km/2 miles or more at high-power when located on a at, noise-free

place like on a beach. However, it may vary drastically depending on how to wear and carry the radios,

surrounding locations/conditions and static noise levels (below or near power transmission lines), etc. In

urban areas with many buildings or inside a building, such covering range may become drastically short

even to several tens of meters.
