■ Introduction
Please be informed that this manual has been edited with consumer-use in mind. The product is delivered to consumers with a default factory setting status or after being programmed by dealers if your dealers have been programmed it. Some features are programmable using editor-software ( PC software) only and they are not mentioned in this manual.
Please read this manual completely from the first page to the last, to learn basic functions the product offers. It is important to note that some of the operations may be explained in relation to information in other chapters. By reading just one part of the manual, you may risk not understanding the complete explanation of the function.
■ Utility software and instructions
The utility software and detailed instructions in PDF format are available at distributors' websites. Please consult with your dealer for for details. A personal computer and an interface cable ERW-21 is required for programming.
■ 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.
■ Covering ranges (without using repeaters)
You may expect a range of approx.4km/2.5 miles or more at high-power when located on a flat, noise-free place like on a beach. However, it may vary depending on how to wear and carry the radios, surrounding locations/conditions and static noise levels, etc. In urban areas with many buildings or inside a building, such covering range may become drastically short.
■ About ingress protections
We don't guarantee any IP grade of this product. Avoid contacts with dust and liquid, and wipe off immediately when wet or dusty.

■ Intergarated GPS Receiver
An internal GPS receiver is installed in TGP(FCC) and EGP(CE) models.
■ When using the GPS receiver
•A GPS receiver is installed under the top panel. When the GPS receiver is activated, do not cover the top part with anything that will block satellite signals.
•GPS signals can't pass through metal objects. When driving or navigating, you may risk not receiving GPS signals if covered by metal roof. External antenna can't be connected, so we recommend to operate near a window or on a deck.
•GPS signals can't reach to the receiver in places like:
-Tunnels or a shadow of tall buildings.
-Underground floors and parking lots
-Under a wide bridge
-In remote forested areas
Also in severe weather conditions, clouds, rain, snow etc may obstacles signals also.
• The Global Positioning System is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Department is responsible for accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes by the Department may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.

Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer for technical assistance.

■ RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION
This Alinco transceiver has been tested and complies with the standards listed below, in regards to Radio Frequency (RF) energy and electromagnetic energy (EME) generated by the transceiver.
•FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. RF Exposure limits adopted by the FCC are generally based on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, and the American National Standards Institute.
WARNING
This Alinco transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME (Radio Frequency Electric and Magnetic Energy) has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body less than the recommended distance from this radio transmitter's antenna. RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest distance possible from the antenna to the body is maintained. The transceiver has been designed for and is classified for Occupational Use Only. Occupational/ controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This means you can use the transceiver only if you are aware of the potential hazards of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. This transceiver is not intended for use by the general public in uncontrolled environments. Uncontrolled environment exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed to RF energy, or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure.

Notice
The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RF exposure and of how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are not exceeded.
•While transmitting (holding the PTT key or speaking with VOX enabled), always keep the antenna and the radio at least 2 .5 cm (0.98 inches) from your
faceand 0cm from your body., as well as from any bystanders. A LED on the top of the radio.
shows red when the transmitter is operating in both PTT and VOX modes.
•Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total use time may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiver operation is 5% transmission time, 5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time.
•Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with the transceiver or another antenna authorized by
Alinco.
Use only Alinco authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/ Mics or headsets etc.): When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Alinco recommended clip or carrying case meant for this product. The use of other than recommended or approved bodyworn accessories may result in RF exposure levels which exceed the FCC's occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits.
CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupational use, you must observe and adhere to the above points.
■ Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility
Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequately shielded or designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it can cause interference to such equipment.
•Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities use equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.
•Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the transceiver must be in accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions.
