Battery life and recharging
Battery life 12 hours (based on 5% transmission, 5% reception, 90% standby)
Li-ion battery providing 1750 mA.
The battery is recharged using a cable with a USB socket (supplied with 12 V cigarette-lighter/USB-C adapter, 220 V mains/USB-C adapter, USB-C cable, hand strap and belt clip)
Waterproofing and operation
Waterproof to IPX7 (submerged at a depth of 1 m for 30 minutes). This model also floats. When submerged underwater, an alarm and a red LED are triggered to make it easier to detect. When the VHF is removed from the water, a vibrating drainage mechanism evacuates the water from the loudspeaker by emitting vibrations. This system makes conversations more audible.
