Before transmitting
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.

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.
