Table 2: IP Specification

IP Specification Description

IP66 Allows your radio to withstand high pressure water jets from any

direction.

IP68 Allows your radio to withstand two meters of water for two hours,

and adverse field conditions such as water drops, snow, dirt,

grease, or other surface contaminants.

CAUTION: Do not disassemble your radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak

paths into the radio. Radio maintenance should only be done in service depot that is equipped

to test and replace the seal on the radio.

• If your radio has been submersed in water, shake your radio well to remove any water that may be

trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped water could cause decreased audio

performance.

• If your battery contact area has been exposed to water, clean and dry battery contacts on both your

radio and the battery before attaching the battery to radio. The residual water could short-circuit the

radio.

• If your radio has been submersed in a corrosive substance (for example, saltwater), rinse radio and

battery in fresh water then dry radio and battery.

• To clean the exterior surfaces of your radio, use a diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent

and fresh water (for example, one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).

• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis below the battery contact. This vent allows

for pressure equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak path into radio and submersibility

may be lost.

• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.

• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent.

• Your radio is designed to be submersible to a maximum depth of 2 m and a maximum submersion

time of 120 minutes. Exceeding maximum limit may result in damage to your radio.
