4、to you after dealer- programming. In such cases, please ask your dealer about the available features in your unit and how to operate this unit. Introduction Thank you very much for purchasing this excellent Alinco transceiver. Our products are ranked among the finest in the world. This radio has bee

5、n manufactured with state of the art technology and it has been tested carefully at our factory. It is designed to operate to your satisfaction for many years under normal use. Please read this manual completely from the first page to the last, to learn all the functions the product offers. It is im

6、portant to note that some of the operations may be explained in relation to information in previous chapters. By reading just one part of the manual, you may risk not understanding the complete explanation of the function. Before transmitting There are many radio stations operating in proximity to t

7、he frequency ranges this product covers. Be careful not to cause interference when transmitting around such radio stations. Lightning Please note that no car provides adequate protection of its passengers or drivers against lightning. Therefore, Alinco will not take responsibility for any danger ass

8、ociated with using its radios or inside the car during lightning. For North American users Due to strict rules, this product is blocked for operations before sales and only dealers can program the radio before delivery to consumers.

Connect one of the cables between the ACC terminal or a Cigar-Plug that operates with the vehicle ignition or ACC switch on the vehicle and EXT POWER jack on the rear side of the unit. 4 2 Initial Installation

13、Before connecting the DC power to the transceiver, be sure to switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF. Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections. In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need a separate 13.8V DC power su

14、pply (not included) , Please contact local dealer to require. The current capacity of your power supply must be 12A or more. Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply 1. and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive, Black: negative). Never directly connect the transce

15、iver to an AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. Connect the transceivers DC power connector to the connector 2. on the DC power cable. Press the connectors firmly together until the lock

17、e the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your dealer for assistance. Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the transceiver could be damaged. Fuse LocationFuse Current Rating Transceiver15A Supplied Accessory DC power cable 20A

18、 If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver in these conditions. 5 2 Ground Error Initial Installatio

19、n External Speaker If you plan to use an external speaker, choose a speaker with an impedance of 8. The external speaker jack accepts a 3.5mm (1/8) mono (2-conductor) plug. After connecting the transceiver to the power supply, the supply voltage can be displayed on LCD by pressing the key together w

20、ith the key. The display immediately changes as the voltage supply changes, It also displays voltage during transmission. The transceiver will return to its normal operation when the power is turned ON/OFF or repeat above operation. Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The suc

21、cess of your installation will depend on the type of antenna and its correct installation. Use a 50 impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line that has a characteristic impedance of 50, to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having an i

22、mpedance other than 50 reduces the efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby televisions, radio receivers and other electronic equipment. External speaker adopt double port BTL, please care about the connection. Do not use the speaker that requires grounding. The range of

23、 displayed voltage is from 7V to16V DC. Because the displayed value is estimated, please use a voltmeter when a more precise reading is desired.

All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage. 6 2 Microphone connector Microphone EMS-74Antenna External speaker Initial

41、 default operation. Many repeaters require a CTCSS tone or a DCS code encode setting as a “key” to access the system, so-called “selective- calling”. Sometimes, CTCSS or DCS decode features are used on the output of a repeater so they can be used as a squelch. In this mode, regardless of the main sq

42、uelch status, the audio can be heard ONLY when the matching tone/code signal is received. The combination of CTCSS squelch and DCS function is not available; only one or the other may be used for a given channel.The operation is available on VFO and memory mode. Dealer-Preprogrammed units cant opera

43、te this function manually. In the memory mode, the setting is temporary; changing the channel or turning off the radio will erase the setting. Press1. key. The current setting will be displayed with T/SQ/ DCS icons and relative frequency/code. Press the same key to select T/SQ/DCS setting. The numbe

44、rs (such as 88.5) represent the CTCSS frequency in 2. Hz. When it is displayed with the icon only, the unit transmits the sub-audible tone while the PTT is pressed (encode) and the repeater access is enabled (assuming the repeater is using 88.5Hz tone). Press the same key again so that the 3. icon s

45、hows up on the display. This is the CTCSS decode frequency. This enables CTCSS squelch (or Tone Squelch, TSQ). Press it again so that the 3-digit number and 4. icon is displayed. This is the DCS code, and it enables DCS encoding and decoding. For 2-4, rotate the main dial or press the / keys to chan

46、ge tone or code. Press any key ( Except FUNC / PWR / TS / DCS, 14 6 KEY OPERATIONS UP / DOWN keys) to enter the setting and return to original status. The T/SQ/DCS icon will remain on the display to show the current selective- calling status. To exit, simply use the TS/DCS key and press it until the

47、 relative status icon T/TQ/DCS disappears. The CTCSS encoding and decoding frequencies may be set differently. The encode setting frequency automatically relates to the decode setting, but decode setting does not affect encode. The standard set of 50 different CTCSS tones are available. DCS encode/d

CTCSS SCAN Repeatedly press key until LCD displays icons, then hold key for 1 second to enter into CTCSS scanning. Once finding a matching CTCSS tone, a voice will be heard and resumes

49、scanning after 15 seconds. Repeatedly press key until LCD displays DCS icons, then hold key for 1 second to enter into DCS scanning. Once finding a matching DCS code, a voice will be heard and resumes scanning after 15 seconds. Press key until LCD display iron, then press key to switch between high/ Mid/low power.
