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 hand-
held 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.
