Congratulations on your purchase of the the PMR 

(Private Mobile Radio) waterproof radio. This 

lightweight, palm-sized, radio is a state-of-the-art 

device, equipped with many valuable features. Use 

it at sporting events, to stay in contact with family 

and friends, hiking, skiing, outdoors, or in a 

neighborhood watch for vital communication - even 

outside by the pool!

Your radio complies with JIS4 water-proof 

standards, which means the radio is resistant 

to damage from light rain or water spray from 

all sides.

• The radio will only meet this rating if fully

assembled and all rubber seals and the jack

cover is well maintained and correctly fitted. This

means that the Headset plug is not inserted, and

the Headset jack cover and the battery pack are

attached and securely fastened.

Note: 

If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean 

your radio thoroughly with a small amount of fresh 

water (do not submerse it) , and dry it before 

turning it on.
