Warning

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 handheld 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
Adhering to the requirement of the following warning ensures compliance of the
transceiver with the safety standard for information technology equipment, EN 60950-
1. Please note that the transceiver 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 transceiver or charging its batteries using a power source
which does not belong to the limited power sources in the meaning of EN 60950-1.

Caution
• The battery pack isn't fully charged when shipped. It must be charged
before use.
• Charging should be conducted in a temperature range of 0ºC to +40ºC
(+32ºF to +104ºF).
• Don't modify, dismantle, incinerate or immerse the battery pack in the water
as this can be dangerous.
• Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals, as this can cause damage to
the equipment or lead to heating of the battery which may cause burns.
• Unnecessary prolonged charging (overcharging) can deteriorate battery
performance.
• The battery pack should be stored in a dry place where temperature is in
-10ºC to +45ºC (-14ºF to +113ºF) range. Temperatures outside this range
can cause the battery liquid to leak. Exposure to prolonged high humidity
can cause corrosion of metal components.
• Battery-packs are a consuming part. When its operating time becomes
considerably short after a normal charge, please consider that the pack is
exhausted and replace it with a new one.
• The battery pack is recyclable. Check with your local waste officials for
details on recycling options or proper disposal in your area.
• Risk of explosion, generation of heat or leak of chemicals inside if the
battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use always the recommended
types of batteries in this manual only
• Use specified genuine chargers only to charge battery packs. Use of other
chargers may cause damage to products, you and your property.
