•
interferes with reception.
When transmitting for long periods of time at high power, the

Notice to California resident users
The product that comes with this manual is free from dangerous material such as lead and
cadmium as per RoHS order of EU.
The transceiver has no protection against lightning.
The user is responsible for providing adequate protection if he 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 transceiver. 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 fi rst sight of forthcoming thunderstorm and lightning.
Limited Power Source
Please note that the transceiver enclosure only provides mechanical protection for its internal
parts; it will not contain a fi re within the device if the fi re starts under certain fault conditions.
Alinco will not take responsibility for any fi re hazard associated with powering the transceiver
or charging its batteries using a power source that does not belong to the limited power source in
the meaning of EN60950-1.
