Dust and Water Protection
The KG-S72C is waterproof to IP65 standards. It is dust resistant and rated to with-
stand any ingress of solid objects. It can withstand direct jets of water projected by a
nozzle (6.3 mm) against the enclosure for a limited period. This radio is dust and water-
proof only while the battery is properly installed and locked in place with no gaps and
all ports are completely sealed with their port covers. Use of a headset or other accessory
will negate the dust and waterproofing features of this radio. Do not attempt to operate
this radio if it has been submerged in water.

The radio charger is NOT dust or waterproof.
