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 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 sufcient 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 proong of the radio per specied 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 specied genuine Alinco accessories and the radio has not
been disassembled by the customer. The factory has tested and made the equipment compatible to IP54
certication during engineering. However, please understand that this equipment is NOT certied 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.
The warranty period of dust and splash resistance is the same as the period of the product warranty.
■
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.

PRESET OPERATIONS
Following features can be set by using dealer-programming
software.
CTCSS / DCS Encode / Decode
It enables the CTCSS/DCS encode/decode setting.Pre-programming is necessary and usually not
recommended for general users.
Optional Signaling
Users can enable or disable the Optional Signaling in every channel by programming software. This
Signaling function is similar to CTCSS/DCS which embodies functions as Selective Call, Group Call,
All Call, PTT ID, and Remotely stun and Waken.
PTT ID:1. If current channel is edited with PTT ID, the transceiver will send transmitting ID when pressing
or releasing PTT key.
You can set group call wildcard for each group2. by programming software. (DTMF character A. B.C.D.***
or “#”).
The caller can call different groups by sending different group call codes.When the receiving party
receives a valid ID code, one or all of the characters would be replaced by wildcard characters
and the receiving part can realize all call, group call or selective call. It is much easy and exible to
realize all call, group call and etc by using group call code.
For example:
Group code –"C"
Radio A Radio B Radio C Radio D
ID code of the receiving party is 123
If the calling party uses "C23" to call, Radio A and Radio B will receive the call.
If the calling party uses"CC5" to call, Radio C and Radio D will receive the call.
If the calling party uses "CCC" to call, All Radios would receive the call..

3.This transceiver is set with 16 groups of DTMF code, users can program and use them exibly.
Wide / Narrow Band Setup
The bandwidth can be set from either one of 25KHz(wide) /20KHz (normal) or 12.5KHz(narrow). Set
the proper channel-spacing value allocated to the radio services in your area. This is not a Channelstep setting, but to determine the deviation width of the modulation.
Busy Channel Lockout
BCLO is to restrict transmitting while RX signal is received. When Busy Channel Lockout is set to
on, transmission is possible only in the specic conditions (and isn't possible otherwise).The alarm
beep sounds if the PTT key is pressed when transmission is prohibited.Busy Channel Lockout mode
available by programming software are as follows.
BCL:1. Enable BCL, carrier wave lockout, transmitting is prohibited when receives any carrier.
BTL: 2. Enable BTL, transmitting is prohibited when current channel receives a carrier signal that
CTCSS/DCS tones are different from your group's.
OFF:3. Busy channel lockout is disabled. Default is OFF.

Signaling Relations Setup
Users can set relations between CTCSS/DCS signal and DTMF signal by programming software.
AND: Only when a matching CTCSS/DCS signal and a DTMF signal are received, can calling of other
party be heard.
OR: As long as a matching CTCSS/DCS signal or a DTMF signal is received, calling of the other party
can be heard.
Channel Scan Skip
Users can choose whether to set current channel as Scan Skip by programmi ng software.
Transceiver will skip current channel during scan when it is set as Scan Skip.
TX OFF
Once this function is enabled, [PTT] key becomes invalid and it works only as a receiver.
Battery Save Setup
This function prevents useless battery consumption by switching the power ON/OFF at a xed ratio
if there is no key operation or receiving signal for a continuous period of 5 seconds or more. Higher
OFF time (1:4 setting) saves more amount of battery but may cause slight delay on receiving. The
Battery Save function is temporarily suspended when a key is operated or a signal is received.

Time-out Timer
This function stops the transmission automatically when the continuous transmission time exceeds
the set time and alerts it with a voice.
Time-Out Timer Pre-Alarm
This is the alarm that warns the user before TOT stops the transmission.
TOT Re-transmitting Time Setup
This is the penalty time before resuming the normal operation condition, once TOT stopped the
transmission.
VOX Function
After enabling this function, you can directly start transmitting by voice instead of pressing [PTT] key.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS
Priority Scan Setup
This transceiver can be set with two priority channels at the same time.Users can set the desired
priority scan by programming software. If transceiver set priority scan, under scanning and receiving
no signal state, it will scan every channel and also test priority channel at a time. When the non-
priority channel receives signal, it will test priority channel according to yback time A and yback
time B setup by users.
Resume Factory Default
You can make all the settings of transceiver return to the factory default settings when it has troubles,
can't work properly or simply you wish to change settings.
Press [PTT] and [PF1] key together while turning on. Keep holding the two keys for more than 1
second. It will resume Factory Default after announcing current channel number.
Note: This function may be prohibited by dealer programming.
