Introduction
The product is delivered to consumers after being programmed by dealers. The product is
blocked and not functional in ex-factory state due to regulations.
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 than 10 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.
