Battery life and recharging

Li-ion battery providing 1750 mA.
The battery is recharged using a cord with a USB connector (a 220 V charger is also supplied in the package).
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.
