The user is responsible for providing adequate protection if he/she uses the device at home and installs the antenna outdoor. Be aware that any
outdoor antenna creates a direct path for lighting current (more than 10kA) to the radio. This path exists whether the device is turned ON or OFF.
Any vehicle does not present a safe environment during lightning. This environment becomes much more dangerous if an outdoor antenna is
installed on the car. Move the antenna and its cable into the car at the first sight of forthcoming thunderstorm and lightning.
At any case Alinco declines any responsibility against any damages caused by lightning and other desasters.
