Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing this excellent Alinco transceiver. Our products are ranked among the
nest 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.
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.
