requirements for portable VHF radios for Safety at
Sea and is waterproof to the IP67 standard.
As part of the required safety equipment, the
SAILOR SP3540 is to be used in an emergency
situation. However the best way to guarantee
functionality in an emergency situation, is to use
the radio in daily communication on board.
The SP3540 is designed for daily use and it
connects easily to external equipment like
headsets and fist mikes, making the SP3540
suitable for any noisy environment.
The unique battery concept makes the radio
suited for both daily use and emergency
situations. The primary emergency battery is to
be stored for emergency situations and a
secondary rechargeable battery can be used for
daily communication in your new portable VHF
transceiver.
The radio is designed with a unique man
