[MEMO]
Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing this excellent Alinco transceiver. It is designed to operate to your
satisfaction for many years to come.
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY TO LEARN ALL THE FUNCTIONS THIS PRODUCT
OFFERS. WE MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO WRITE THIS MANUAL TO BE AS COMPREHENSIVE
AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND AS POSSIBLE. IT IS IMPORTANT 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 RISK NOT UNDERSTANDING THE
COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE FUNCTION.
THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN EDITED BASED ON THE LAND MOBILE VERSION OF DJ-VX50,
THEREFORE, SOME OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS WITH FREQUENCIES INDICATE COMMERCIAL
RADIO FREQUENCIES OUTSIDE OF THE AMATEUR RADIO BANDS.
Before transmitting
There are many radio stations operating in proximity to 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 than 10 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.
m IP67 Dust and water proof
About IP67 rating
6: Dust tight / No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. Test duration of up to 8 hours
based on air flow using specified powders.
7: No water penetration / Submerge the device for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter from the fresh
waters surface,
The IP67 designation provides for limited dust and fresh water proofing of the radio, antenna and battery
pack when integrated, perspecified above. This compatibility is factory guaranteed for a period of one
year provided all specified conditions of use are respected, any accessories connected must be specifies
genuine Alinco accessories and the device has not been disassembled by the consumer. The device is
designed to remain operational when used in rain, severe weather or in accidental cases of dropping it ir
wet place when used in extreme conditions and is in no way stating that you should attempt to use the
device under water or submerge the radio for cleaning. Warranty will not cover devices that are damage
due to negligence or misuse of the product. Never remove the small label attached on the rear chassis
of this product, or cover it with other materials. This label is essential to adjust an air pressure inside to
secure dustiwater proofing. A periodical, professional maintenance is recommended when the ingress
protection is very important to you.
Note: The waterproof is void when an external microphone is in use.

= Covering ranges
You may expect a range of approx 3km (2 miles) or more at high-power when located on a flat, noise-free
place like on a beach. However, it may vary drastically depending on how to wear and carry the radios,
surrounding locations/conditions and static noise levels (below or near power transmission lines), etc. In
urban areas with many buildings or inside a building, such covering range may become drastically short
even to several tens of meters.
E Compliance Information Statement
WARNING
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment
may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction
manual.
FCC INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING: Modification of this device to receive cellular phone service signals is prohibited under FCC
rules and Federal Law.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by tuming the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
+ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
e Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
« Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications to this device, note expressly approved by Álinco, Inc., could void your
authority to operate this device under
ABOUT CE AND DOC
Hereby, Alinco, Inc. declares DJ-VX50HE which has the "CE" symbol on the product, complies
CE with the essential requirements of the radio Equipment Directive, 2014/53/EU, and the

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
e Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
H Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility
Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequately
shielded or designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it
can cause interference to such equipment.
* Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities use
equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.
* Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the transceiver must
be in accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions.

capacity. After repeating fully charge/discharge cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will
reach the best performance. The battery life is over when its operating time decreases even though it i;
fully and correctly charged and it must be replace to new one.
(Battery Charger Type
Please use ALINCO's designated charger, other models may cause explosion. After installing the
battery, when the radio displays TC low battery, please charge the battery.

Caution
* Risk of explosion, generation of heat or leak of chemicals inside if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type or reverse polarity. Use always the recommended types of batteries in this manual only.
The battery pack isn't fully charged when shipped. It must be charged before use.
+ Charging should be conducted in a temperature range of +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F).
« Don't modify, dismantle, incinerate or immerse the battery pack in the water as this can be dangerous.
« Never short circuit the battery pack terminals, as this can cause damage to the equipment or lead to
heating of the battery which may cause burns.
* Unnecessary prolonged charging (overcharging) can deteriorate battery performance.
* The battery pack should be stored in a dry place where temperature is in -10°C to +45°C (-14°F to
+113°F) range. Temperatures outside this range can cause the battery liquid to leak. Exposure to
prolonged high humidity can cause corrosion of metal components.
« Battery-packs are a consuming part. When its operating time becomes considerably short after a
normal charge, please consider that the pack is exhausted and replace it with a new one.
+ The battery pack is recyclable. Check with your local waste officials for details on recycling options or
proper disposal in your area.
- Use specified genuine chargers only to charge battery packs. Use of other chargers may cause
damage to products, you and your property.
* Never carry battery packs together with conductive articles such as metals in a same bag to prevent
from short-circuiting. Put the packs only in nylon bags to carry them safely.
* Even if you do not use the battery pack for a long time, charge it at least once every three months to
prevent deterioration.
