as described previously.

onto the Antenna jack.
It is not recommended to op-

crophone, we recommend
that it not be connected un-
til you are familiar with the basic operation of the
EVX-531. Refer to page 9 for more information
about Speaker/Microphone usage.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Water resistance of the transceiver (IP57: 1
meter / 30 minutes) is assured only when the
following conditions:
 Battery pack is attached to the transceiver;
 Antenna is connected to the antenna jack;
 and MIC/SP cap is installed in the MIC/
SP jack.
 Use of a speaker microphone in the acces-
sory connector negates the IP57 rating.
