AquaQuake water draining function
The IC-M604A uses a new technology to clear water away from
the speaker grill: AquaQuake. AquaQuake helps clear water
away from the speaker housing (water that might otherwise
muffle the sound coming from the speaker). The IC-M604A
emits a vibrating noise when this function is being used.
