Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing your new Alinco transceiver. Please read this manual care fully befo re using the prod uct to ensur e ful l performa nce, and keep thi s manual for future reference as it contains information on after-sales service. In case addendum or errata sheets are included with this product, please read those materials and keep them together with this instruction manual for future reference.

Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing this excellent Alinco transceiver. Our products are ranked among the finest in the world. This radio has been manufactured with state of the art technology and it has been tested carefully at our factory. It is designed to operate to your satisfaction for many years under normal use.

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 previous chapters. By reading just one part of the manual, you may risk not understanding the complete explanation of the function. In addition, please understand that your radio may be programmed by the dealer according to the local regulation, masking some of features mentioned in this manual.Please consult your dealer for details of programming.

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 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.

About IP54 rating / Dust and splash resistant

About IP54 rating

5: Dust protected / Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufcient quantity to

interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact.

4: Splashing water / Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect.

Test duration: 5 minutes / Water volume: 10 litters per minute / Pressure: 80~100 kN/m²

The IP54 designation provides for limited dust and splash proong of the radio per specied above. This

compatibility is factory guaranteed for a period of one year provided all the jack covers are securely in place, any accessories connected must be specified genuine Alinco accessories and the radio has not been disassembled by the customer. The factory has tested and made the equipment compatible to IP54

certication during engineering. However, please understand that this equipment is NOT certied IP54

compliant but is designed to remain operational when used in hard conditions and is in no way stating that you should attempt to wash the radio for cleaning. Warranty will not cover radios that are water/dust damage due to negligence or misuse of the product.

■

Covering ranges

You may expect a range of approx.3km/2 miles or more at high-power when located on a at, noise-free place like on a beach. However, it may vary drastically depending on how to wear and carry the radios,

surrounding locations/conditions and static noise levels (below or near power transmission lines), etc. In urban areas with many buildings or inside a building, such covering range will become drastically short even to several tens of meters.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Operation

The battery is not charged at the factory, please charge it before use. Charge the battery for the rst time

after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery to its normal operating capacity. After repeating fully charge / discharge cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach the best performance. The battery life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is

fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery.

Battery Charger Type

Please use our company's designated charger, other models may cause explosion and injure people.

After installing the battery, if the radio red light twinkles and remind changing battery, please charge the battery.

Notice for Charging Battery

Do not shortcircuit our company designated charger. Never attempt to remove the casing from the ▲ battery, we show no responsibility on the faulty caused by modifying freely without permission of our factory. The ambient temperature should be between 5 ▲ ℃ and 40℃ in charging. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery. Always switch off the transceiver equipped with a battery before charging. Otherwise, it will interfere ▲ with correct charging. To avoid interfering the charging procedure, please do not cut off the power or take out the battery ▲ during charging.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Do not recharge the battery if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery or ▲ damage the battery. Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. ▲

WARNING: When keys or ornamental chains and other electric metals contact with the battery terminals, the battery may cause damage or hurt bodies. If the battery terminal short circuit, it will generate a lot of heat, please be careful when you bring or use the battery, please put battery or radio into insulated container. Do not put

it into metal container.

How to Charge

1.Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, then plug the cable of AC adaptor into the DC jack, the indicator lights orange

for 1s and turns into GREEN---waits to charge.

2.Slide the battery or transceiver with battery into the charger; make sure the battery terminals are in contact with

the charging terminals well. LED turns into twinkling RED

---pre-charging begins.

3.Pre-charging for about 5 minutes, LED twinkles stop then

charging begins.

4.It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery, when LED turns into GREEN—full charged

BATTERY INFORMATION

NOTE: When charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn into green to show the full charge status. Only when turn off the transceiver, the LED can indicate normally. Because when the transceiver is power on, it would consumes energy, the charger cannot detect when battery has been fully charged, the charger will charge battery in voltage consumption and fail to indicate correctly.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Prompt

1.Self-examination: When charging, ORANGE light twinkles for 1 second and goes out. That means the

charger has passed its self-examination and it can charge the battery normally. If the light remains orange or the red light twinkles, which means the charger can not pass its self-examination or charge the battery.

2.Trickle pre-charging: when the battery has been inserted into the charger and red light twinkles, which

means the remnant voltage is low, the charger trickle charge the battery (pre-charging status), until the battery reaches a certain electric quantity, the charger automatically turns into normal charging. And if the red light stop twinkling, which means the remnant voltage meets a certain electric quantity, the charger will charge the battery normally.

NOTE:The time for Trickle pre-charging is not exceed 30m.After 30m,the red indicator is still twinkling,it means it is unable to charge battery. Please kindly check battery and charger.

How to Store the Battery

1.If the battery needs to be stored, the battery should be kept in the status of 50% discharge.

2.It should be kept in low temperature, dry environment.

3.To keep away from hot places and direct sunlight.

WARNING

▲Do not short circuit battery terminals. ▲Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery

pack. ▲Never assemble the battery in dangerous surroundings,

spark may cause explosion. ▲Do not put the battery in hot environment or throw it

into fire, it may also cause explosion.
