AquaQuake water draining function
The IC-M603 uses a new technology to clear water away
from the speaker grill: AquaQuake. AquaQuake helps drain
water away from the speaker housing (water that might oth-
erwise muffle the sound coming from the speaker). The IC-
M603 emits a vibrating noise when this function is being
used.

[H/L]

• A low beep tone sounds while

key is pushed and held to
drain water, regardless of

control setting.
• The transceiver never accepts a key operation while the
AquaQuake function is activated.
While pushing and holding
[PTT]
on the optional HM-162E,
turn power ON to clear water away from the HM-162E.
