Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing your new Alinco transceiver.

This instruction manual contains important safety and

operating instructions. Please read this manual

carefully before using the product and keep it for future

reference.

Introduction

Please be informed that this manual has been edited with dealer-use in mind.

The product is delivered toconsumersafter being programmed by dealers. The

product is blocked and not functional in ex-factory statedue to regulations.

Please read this manual completely from the first page to the last, to learn

all the functions theproduct offers. It is important to note that some of the

operations may be explained in relationto information in previous chapters.

By reading just one part of the manual, you may risk notunderstanding the

complete explanation of the function. In addition, please understand that

your radio may be programmed by the dealer according to the local

regulation, masking some offeatures mentioned in this manual. Please

consult your dealer for details of programming.

Before transmitting

There are many radio stations operating in proximity to the frequency ranges

this product covers. Becareful 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 ifsomebody keeps a hand-held radio; chances of being hit by

lightning are doubled since lightning mayhit a radio antenna as well. At this time,

there is no hand-held radio having any kind of protection againstlightning current

(which is higher than10 kA.). Note also that no car provides adequate protection

of itspassengers or drivers against lightning as well. Therefore, Alinco will not

take responsibility for any dangerassociated with using its hand-held radios

outdoor or inside the car during lightning.

■ Covering ranges

You may expect a range of approx.3km/2 miles or more at high-power when

located on a flat, noise-freeplace 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. Inurban areas with many buildings or inside a building, such

covering range will become drastically shorteven to several tens of meters.

NOTICE/Compliance Information Statement

For your safe and efficient use of the transceiver, please read the following

safety information.

1.The maintenance work can be carried out only by professional and technical

personnel, please do not disassemble or reassemble by yourself.

2.Can use only the specified battery and charger, rechargeable 5 to 40 ℃ range.

3.To avoid electromagnetic interference and other problems caused by

electromagnetic incompatibility, please close the transceiver in the place where

there is a sign showing "No transceiver", as

well as on the plane where transceivers are required to be shut down by crew.

4.In the car with an airbag, do not put the transceiver within the reach of expansion

of the airbag.

5.When entering into a flammable and explosive environment, please close the

transceiver.

6.You should not get close to blasting areas and areas where deployed some

detonators until the transceiver is turned off.

7.Do not use the transceiver with a damaged antenna, for the damaged antenna

may cause light burn of your skin.

8.Do not expose transceivers under direct sunlight for a long time, or place it near

some heating equipment.

Safety Training Information

Your FRS radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmitmode. This

radio is intended for use by “General Population” in uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposurelimits for

“General population.” In addition, your ALINCO radio complieswith the following

NOTICE/Compliance Information Statement

Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energyand electromagnetic energy

levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 01-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance

with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic

Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standardfor

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 HazardousElectromagnetic Fields-

RF and Microwave.

• The following accessories are authorized for use with this product.Use of

accessories other than those speciﬁed may result in RF exposure levels

exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip(EBC-40),

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (EBP-90), Earphone microphone

(EME-24/EME-61)and Speaker microphone (EMS-60).

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is withinthe

FCC allowable limits for general population/uncontrolled use,always

adhere to the following guidelines:

•DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty

cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can causeFCC RF exposure

compliance requirements to be exceeded. Theradio is transmitting when the

“TX indicator” lights red. You cancause the radio to transmit by pressing the

"PTT" switch.

The information listed above provides the user with the informationneeded

to make user aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assurethat this radio

operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
