Features

Your radio provides the following key features:
Submersible design
Complies with floating JIS8/IPX8 water-resistant
standards, which means the radio can be submerged in
1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes without damage.
Š The radio will only meet this rating if fully assembled
and all rubber seals and sealing plugs are well
maintained and correctly fitted. This means that the
speaker microphone is attached or the sealing plug is
fitted, and the battery pack (or case) and antenna are
attached and securely fastened.
Š 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 will return to normal.
Š If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean it
thoroughly with fresh water.
Š The charging equipment is not waterproof.
Memory scan mode
Lets you save channels to memory and monitor them in
quick succession.
