WATERPROOF: JIS4

Uniden's UH075 radio is designed to meet the water proofing standard of JIS4. This Means:

"...the unit is able to withstand a steady stream of water from a hose for 5 minutes without leakage..."

The UH075 will only meet this rating if fully assembled and all rubber seals and bungs are well maintained and correctly fitted. This means that the speaker microphone bung is inserted, and the battery pack and antenna are attached and securely fastened.

This is NOT a rating that allows for the unit to be submersed.
