The transceiver floats on fresh or salt
water even when the supplied acces-

• When a third-party battery pack, strap,
antenna, etc. is used, it may sink.

if the transceiver is kept floating in fresh or
salt water.

With dimensions of 16(H)×32(W) mm, the function dis-
play is easy to read and shows operating conditions at a
glance. Backlighting and contrast can be adjusted to suit
your preferences.
