Before transmitting

There are many radio stations operating in the frequency ranges this product covers. Be careful not to
cause interference when transmitting around such radio stations.
Lightning
■
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 than10 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.
