Before transmitting
There are many radio stations operating in proximity to the frequency ranges this product covers. Be careful not to cause interference when transmitting around such radio stations.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

About power-supply
PC PROGRAMMING
NOTE: The utility software may be available to distributors/dealers
only. USB programming cable is required. The manufacturer will not release the software to unauthorized party so please contact your dealer for details.
Use only reliable power supply of specific DC output range and be mindful of
the polarity of the cables and DC jack.
Always turn off the power supply when connecting or disconnecting the cables.
When using an external antenna, make sure that the antenna ground is not common with the ground of the power supply.
European users: When a radio is powered from an external DC power source (adapter, power supply, cigar-plug etc), make sure that this power supply has approval to the level of IEC/EN 60950-1.
Do not put magnetic cards like credit card, magnetic key etc. on/around the radio. It may risk deleting data from the cards.
Before Operating the Radio
Attention
Do not remove the case or touch the interior components. Tampering can cause equipment trouble.
Do not use or keep the radio where it is exposed to direct sunlight, dusty places, or near sources of heat.
When transmitting for long periods of time at high power, the radio might overheat. This product is NOT a
100% duty transmitter.
This radio has temperature protection circiut buil-in, for long periods continually transmitting in high power,
the radio will automatically down to middle power, it is a normal operation and not a defect product of our manufacture.
The radio has no protection against lightning
The user is responsible for providing adequate protection if he/she uses the device at home and installs the antenna outdoor. Be aware that any outdoor antenna creates a direct path for lighting current (more than 10kA) to the radio. This path exists whether the device is turned ON or OFF.
Any vehicle does not present a safe environment during lightning. This environment becomes much more dangerous if an outdoor antenna is
installed on the car. Move the antenna and its cable into the car at the first sight of forthcoming thunderstorm and lightning.
At any case Alinco declines any responsibility against any damages caused by lightning and other desasters.

Initial Installation
Mobile installation
The transceiver may be installed in any position in your car, where the controls and microphone are easily accessible and it does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with air bags, be certain your radio will not interfere with their deployment. If you are uncertain about where to mount the unit, contact your vehicle's dealer.
Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-

screws.
Double check that all screws are tightened to prevent vehicle
vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.
Mounting bracket
Caution:
Use only the provided screws otherwise you risk damaging the circuit board, components or fall-off of the unit.
Determine the appropriate angle of the transceiver, using the screw
hole position on the side of the mounting bracket.
CAUTION:
RF Hazard Warming The electro-magnetic (radio Frequency) exposure level of this device may exceed the European standards of the hazard level when transmitting at the high-power setting while connected to a unity gain antenna at a distance of 63cm or less from the operator. Furthermore, the hazardous RF exposure level depends on the conditions of the combination of the antenna gain, distance from the operator, output setting and installation environment, therefore the operator may be exposed to stronger RF even at a distance of more than 63cm. For safety purpose, it is recommended that the antenna be installed outside of, and as far as possible from, the operators area. Avoid using an excessively high-gained antenna in case the distance between the operator and the antenna is very limited. Always use the minimum necessary output power for communications.
Put the pads to both sides for more tightened.
DC Power Cable Connection
Mobile Operation
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never connect the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission, or transmitting output power may drop excessively.
Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly
1.
to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.
Never use the cigarette lighter socket as a DC source.
The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from
heat, moisture, and the engine secondary(high voltage) ignition system/cables.
After installing cable, in order to avoid the risk of damp, please
2.
use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget to reinforce whole cable.
In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down

Fixed Station Operation
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need
a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included) , Please contact local dealer to require.
The current capacity of your power supply must be 12A or more.
Initial Installation
Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply
1.
and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive, Black: negative).
Never directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a
regulated power supply.
Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.
Connect the transceiver's DC power connector to the connector on
2.
the DC power cable.
Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.
Before connecting the DC power to the transceiver, be sure to
switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF. Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make
all connections.
REPLACING FUSES
If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your dealer for assistance

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the transceiver
could be damaged.
If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become
discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid
using the transceiver in these conditions.

Power supply voltage Display
After being connected to an appropreate power source, press to turn on. Press and hold voltage.
The display immediately changes as the voltage supply changes, It also displays voltage during transmission.
The transceiver will return to its normal operation when the power is turned ON/OFF or repeat above operation.
The range of displayed voltage is from 9V to16V DC. Because the displayed value is estimated, please use a voltmeter when a more

Antenna Connection
Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend on the type of antenna and its correct installation.
Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line that has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω, to match the transceiver input
impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having
an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna
system and can cause interference to nearby televisions, radio receivers and other electronic equipment.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage.

External Speaker
If you plan to use an external speaker, choose a speaker with an
