Dust and Water Protection
The KG-805M is waterproof to IP55 standards. It is dust resistant and rated to with-
stand water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction for a
limited period. This radio is resistant to dust and water only while the battery is proper-
ly installed and locked in place with no gaps and the accessory port is completely sealed
with the accessory port cover. Use of a headset or other accessory will negate the dust
and waterproofing features of this radio. The KG-805M is NOT submersible. Do not
attempt to operate this radio if it has been submerged.
