Warning
■
Ligntning
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.
