■ Introduction
Ple ase b e info rmed that this m anual has been e dited with
consumer-use in mind. The product is delivered to consumers after
being programmed by dealers. Some features are dealer-selectable
and pr og ra mm ab le using ed it or -s of tware onl y an d th ey are no t
mentioned in this manual.The product is blocked and not functional in
ex-factory state due to regulations.
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.
■ Lightning
Any pers on is not s afe 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 k in d of p ro te ction against l ig ht ni ng current (whi ch i s hi gh er
than10 kA.). Note also that no car provides adequate protection of its
passengers or drivers against lightning as well. Therefore, Alinco will
not take r es po ns ib ility for a ny d an ge r associate d wi th u si ng its
hand-held radios outdoor or inside the car during lightning.
■ Covering ranges (without using repeaters)
You ma y ex p ect a r a nge of a ppr o x.4 k m/2 . 5 m ile s or mor e 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.
