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 handheld radio; chances of being hit by
lightning are doubled since lightning may hit a radio antenna as well. At this time,
there is no handheld 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 handheld radios
outdoor or inside the car during lightning.
■ Covering ranges
You may expect a range of up to 2 km at high-power 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.
■ About enclosure protection
This transceiver is NOT water and dust protected of any degrees. Avoid
contacts with water and dust, and if wet or dirty, immediately wipe them with a
clean dry cloth. Please also note that the body is small and thin; DO NOT carry
it in your pants pocket to avoid cracking.
