carefully before using the product to ensure full performance, and keep this
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

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.

Before transmitting

There are many radio stations operating in 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 sufficient 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/m

The IP54 designation provides for limited dust and splash proofing of the radio per specified 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
certification during engineering. However, please understand that this equipment is NOT certified 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.1.5km/1 miles or more when located on a flat, 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

Caution

• Risk of explosion, generation of heat or leak of chemicals inside if the battery is replaced by an

incorrect type or reverse polarity. Use always the recommended types of batteries in this manual
only.

• The battery pack isn't fully charged when shipped. It must be charged before use.

• Charging should be conducted in a temperature range of +5ºC to +40ºC (+41ºF 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.

• Use specified genuine chargers only to charge battery packs. Use of other chargers may cause

damage to products, you and your property.

• Never carry battery packs together with conductive articles such as metals in a same bag to

prevent from short-circuiting. Put the packs only in nylon bags to carry them safely.
