Before Operating the Transceiver
Attention
• Do not open the case or touch the interior components.
Tampering can damage the 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 frequencies adjacent to the ham
bands for business purposes.
Be mindful when transmitting near them.
Even when amateur stations obey regulations, unexpected
interference can occur.
Pay sufficient attention during mobile operation.
Caution
The use of a transceiver in the following places may be
prohibited:
• Aboard aircraft
• In airports
• In shipping ports
• Within or near the operating area of business wireless
stations or their relay stations.
Before using in any of the above places, obtain any
necessary permissions from the proper authorities, and be
mindful of local laws that govern amateur radio operation.
Points to Note When Using an External Power Supply
• Use a regulated 3.7V - 6.0V DC external power supply.
• To charge the battery or operate the transceiver using AC
power, use AC adaptor (EDC-126 or EDC-128 depending on
the version*).
• When power is supplied from the cigarette socket of a car,
use cigarette lighter cable (EDH-32).
• Turn the transceiver's power off when connecting or
disconnecting the DC cable.
* This adaptor has been designed as a battery charger. A noise may occur in RX/TX
signals. The noise won't harm the transceiver and is not a defect. Use of a
regulated power supply is recommended.
