The 16/6 Survival Craft Portable Two-Way VHF Radiotelephone is
intended to be used for on-scene emergency communications between
survival craft and ship, and survival craft and rescue units. The radio is
equipped with a 5 year lithium survival battery pack which is user replaceable.
With the lithium battery pack installed, the unit meets all IMO, SOLAS and
FCC requirements for survival craft two-way VHF transceivers.
The Survival Radio and its protective cover shall be packed with the
ship’s survival craft or in a survival suit. When not packed with a life raft, the
radiotelephone should be stored in an accessible place, as close to the
survival craft as possible.
All radio controls are flat-panel, push-types located on the front surface
of the radio.
