About Transceiver
Be cautious of the whip antenna when carried in your shirt-pocket etc. It may make
contact with your eye and cause injury.
Do not connect devices other than specified ones to the jacks and ports on the
product. It may result in damage to the devices.
Turn off and remove the power source (AC cable, DC cable, battery, cigar cable,
charger adapter etc.) from the product when the product is not in use for extended
period of time or in case of maintenance.
Never pull the cord alone when you unplug AC cable form the wall outlet.
Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe off dirt and condensation from the surface of the

■
About power supply
Use only reliable power supply of specific DC output range and be mindful of the
polarity of the cable and DC-jack.
Always turn off the power supply when connecting or disconnecting the cables.
When using an external antenna, make sure that the antenna ground is not common with
the ground of the power supply.
European users: When a unit is powered from an external DC power source (adapter,
power supply, cigar-plug etc.), make sure that this power supply has approval to the level
of IEC/EN 60950-1.

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.

Limited Power Source
Please note that the receiver enclosure only provides mechanical protection of its internal parts; it
will not contain a fire within the device if the fire starts under certain fault conditions. Alinco will not
take responsibility for any fire hazard associated with powering the receiver or charging its batteries
using a power source which does not belong to the limited power sources in the meaning of EN
60950-1. Excluded from possible use with the receiver are most car cigarette lighters and some DC
(AC/DC) power supplies. Make sure that the power supply used with the receiver is a limited power
source.
