Dust and Water Protection
The KG-S88G is waterproof to IP67 standards. It is dust resistant and rated to with-
stand any ingress of solid objects and can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of
water for up to 30 minutes. This radio is dust and waterproof only while the battery is
properly installed and locked in place with no gaps and all ports are completely sealed
with their port covers using the original supplied standard screws (not the thumbscrew).
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 deep-
er than 1 meter.
