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 alkaline battery 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. Scroll to and press the
SPKR
soft key; the radio sounds a tone to
clear excess water. The sound should return to normal.
If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean it thoroughly with fresh water and dry
it before turning it on.
The charger is not waterproof.
x
Text Messaging.
Text messaging through Uniden's Marine II app via Bluetooth
function.
