Before transmitting

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.
