Warning
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 handheld radio having any kind of protection against lightning current (which is higher than
10 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.
Limited Power Source
Please note that the transceiver enclosure only provides mechanical protection of its
internal parts; it will not contain a fire within the device if the fire starts under certain
fault conditions. Alinco will not take responsibility for any fire hazard associated with
powering the transceiver or charging its batteries using a power source which does not
belong to the limited power sources in the meaning of EN 60950-1. Excluded from
possible use with the transceiver are most car cigarette lighters and some DC
(AC/DC) power supplies. Make sure that the power supply used with the transceiver
is a limited power source.
Water-registant
The IPX7 designation provides for limited waterproofing of the radio. The
specifications are immersion in one meter (approx 3ft) of still sweet water for up to 30
minutes. This compatibility is factory guaranteed for a period of one year provided all
the jack covers are securely in place, any accessories connected must be genuine
Alinco water-proof accessories and the radio has not been disassembled by the
customer. The factory has tested and made the equipment compatible to IPX7
certification during engineering. However, please understand that this equipment is
NOT certified IPX7 compliant but is designed to remain operational when used in
rain, severe weather or in accidental cases of dropping it in water when used in
extreme conditions and is in no way stating that you should attempt use the radio
under water or submerge the radio for cleaning. Warranty will not cover radios that
are water / salt damage due to negligence or misuse of the product.

FUNCTION.
Before transmitting
There are many business radio stations operating in proximity to the ham bands. Be
careful not to cause interference when transmitting around such radio stations. Even
when amateur radio stations adhere to radio laws, there are unexpected cases of radio
interference. When operating this product while traveling, please be very careful.

Caution
• Risk of explosion, generation of heat or leak of chemicals inside if the
battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use always the recommended
types of batteries in this manual only.
• The battery pack isn't fully charged when shipped. It must be charged
before use.
• Charging should be conducted in a temperature range of 0ºC to +40ºC
(+32ºF to +104ºF).
• Don't modify, dismantle, incinerate or immerse the battery pack in the water
as this can be dangerous.
• Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals, as this can cause damage to
the equipment or lead to heating of the battery which may cause burns.
• Unnecessary prolonged charging (overcharging) can deteriorate battery
performance.
• The battery pack should be stored in a dry place where temperature is in
-10ºC to +45ºC (-14ºF to +113ºF) range. Temperatures outside this range
can cause the battery liquid to leak. Exposure to prolonged high humidity
can cause corrosion of metal components.
• Battery-packs are a consuming part. When its operating time becomes
considerably short after a normal charge, please consider that the pack is
exhausted and replace it with a new one.
• The battery pack is recyclable. Check with your local waste officials for
details on recycling options or proper disposal in your area.
• Use specified genuine chargers only to charge battery packs. Use of other
chargers may cause damage to products, you and your property.
• Li-ion battery packs can't be charged using DC-jack on the unit (Only NiMH battery packs can be charged).
• Even if you do not use the battery pack for a long time, charge it at least
once every three months to prevent deterioration.

Charging the Battery Pack Using DC-Jack on the Unit
The unit can charge the EBP-65 and EBP-66 optional Ni-MH battery packs by
supplying DC power through the DC-jack on the unit using EDC-146/147/148 wall
chargers or an optional DC power supply (DC 12V~DC 16V, 1A or more: IEC/EN
60950-1 compliant) and a DC cable such as EDC-37.
1. Attach the battery pack by referring to "Battery Pack" (page 15).
2. Connect the AC adapter plug to the DC-jack on the
unit then connect the charger's adapter to the wall
outlet.
* AC adapter may look different.
3. Turn on the unit and set the battery charge
parameters. (page 44)
* "Battery Type Setting"
Select BAT-NI+.
4. After completing the settings, a flashing
appears on the display. Make sure the icon is
flashing then turn off the unit. It takes about 10
hours/30hours for EBP-65/66 respectively to
complete the charge.

NOTE:
• Please read the general safety instructions included in the optional accessories
to correctly and safely use them.
• EDC-146/147/148 can't be used as the adapter for operation. These adapters
are for charging purposes only.
• Chargers can't perform the correct charge when the AC voltage is unstable.
• flashes even EBP-65/66 aren't attached. To avoid short-circuit, never
activate this function when the pack isn't attached to the unit.
• Li-ion battery packs can't be charged in this way.

Attach the whip antenna. If you plan to use an optional antenna,
select one that is tuned to the operating frequency.
The FUNC key is used in combination with the other keys to
