Congratulations on your purchase of 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 JIS7 water-resistant
standards, which means the radio can be
submerged in 1.0 meters of water for 30
minutes without damage.
After your radio is submerged in water, you might
notice that the sound is 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.
Note:
If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean
your radio thoroughly with fresh water, and dry it
before turning it on.
