SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Warning: Please Read Carefully
•
DO NOT operate the transceiver without a proper antenna attached, as it may damage the transceiver
and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the genuine antenna
supplied with this transceiver by Alinco or ones specifically authorized by the antenna manufacturer for
use with this transceiver.
•
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 3 cm (1 inch) away from your body when transmitting and only use
the original belt clips when attaching the transceiver to your body (Unauthorized attachment devices may
help radiating more electromagnetic energy). To obtain the best sound quality during communications,
hold the antenna at least 6 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
•
Use only the genuine Alinco accessories listed in this instruction manual for RF safety. Third party
accessories are not guaranteed for RF safety by Alinco.
•
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, a transceiver generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other
devices and/or systems.
To avoid such interference, turn off the transceiver in areas where signs are posted to do so. NEVER
operate transceivers in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, blasting
sites, aboard aircraft and similar advanced vehicles etc. Do not expose magnetic cards such as credit
cards in a very close vicinity to a transceiver; it may erase the magnetic data. A person using medical
devices such as a pacemaker MUST NOT use this transceiver, as interference may cause malfunction to
such medical devices.
