FEATURES
Your radio provides the following key features:
x
Submersible design
. Complies with floating JIS8/IPX8 water-resistant standards,
which means the radio can be submerged in 4.9 feet of water for up to 30 minutes
without damage.
NOTES:
The radio will only meet this rating if fully assembled and all rubber seals and
bungs are well maintained and correctly fitted. This means that the speaker
microphone bung is inserted, and the battery pack (or case) and antenna are
attached and securely fastened.
After your radio is submerged in water, the sound might be distorted. This
is because there is still water remaining in and around the speaker and
microphone. Just shake the radio to clear excess water, and the sound should
return to normal.
If your radio is exposured to salt water, clean it thoroughly with fresh water
and dry it before turning it on.
The charger is not waterproof.
