• Do not use or keep the receiver where it is exposed to direct sunlight, dusty places, or near
sources of heat.

Notice to California resident users

The product that comes with this manual is free from dangerous material such as lead and
cadmium as per RoHS order of EU.

The receiver has no protection against lightning.

The user is responsible for providing adequate protection if he uses the device at home and
installs the antenna outdoor. Be aware that any outdoor antenna creates a direct path for lighting
current (more than 10kA) to the receiver. This path exists whether the device is turned ON or
OFF.
Any vehicle does not present a safe environment during lightning. This environment becomes
much more dangerous if an outdoor antenna is installed on the car. Move the antenna and its
cable into the car at the first sight of forthcoming thunderstorm and lightning.

Limited Power Source

Please note that the receiver enclosure only provides mechanical protection for 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 receiver
or charging its batteries using a power source that does not belong to the limited power source in
the meaning of EN60950-1.
