Before Operating the Transceiver
Attention
• Do not open the case or touch the interior components.
Tampering can cause equipment.
• Do not expose the transceiver to direct sunlight, dusty places
or place it near sources of heat.
• Keep the transceiver away from TVs, tuners or other
equipment if it interferes with reception.
• Securely connect the antenna included with the transceiver.
• When transmitting for a long time, the transceiver can
overheat.
• Turn the power off immediately if the transceiver emits smoke
or strange odors.
Ensure that the transceiver is safe, then bring it to the nearest
Alinco Service Center.
Points to Note Before Transmitting
Many wireless stations use frequency adjacent to the ham
bands for business purpose.
Be mindful when transmitting near them.
Even when amateur stations obey regulators, unexpected
interference can occur.
Pay sufficient attention during mobile operation.

Before using in any of the above places, obtain any
necessary permissions from the proper authorities, and be
