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 rst 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 specied 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.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

Your radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and

classied as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by

individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for

use by the“General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In
addition, your radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and

electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for ●
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to ●

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement ●
of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.

The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those ●
specied may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.;

Belt Clip (MB-94), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-230N/BP-232N) and Speaker-microphone
(HM-131L).

CAUTION

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within th e FCC allowable limits for
occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may ●
also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this

radio by the manufacturer or antenna specically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). “50% duty cycle” is also ●

applicable to VOX/PTT mode. Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure

compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “LED indicator” lights red.
You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch or VOX function.

ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use ●
the belt-clip which is listed on page 33 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission
the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one
side.

The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of
RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this
radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other
devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.

DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals,
aircraft, and blasting sites.

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 displays low 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



ToensurethatyourexposetoRFelectromagneticenergyiswithintheFCCallowablelimitsfor

occupationaluse,alwaysadheretothefollowingguidelines:





DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you

to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or

antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.



DO NOT transmits for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time

can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator”

lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.



ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the HYT belt-clip

which is listed in instructions when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna

at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
