Waterproof Specications
The PM-1050 SWF is a submersible radio, complying with oating JIS7/IPX7
water-resistant standards. The radio can be submerged in 1 meter of water for
30 minutes without damage.
CAUTION ! The radio will only meet this rating if fully assembled
and all rubber seals are well maintained and correctly tted. This
means that the battery and casing must be securely fastened.
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
should return to normal.
If your radio is exposured to salt water, clean it thoroughly with fresh water and
dry it before turning it on.
The charger is not waterproof.
