Introduction
Your VHF GMDSS
SP3520, your new portable VHF transceiver, is
approved to fulfil the GMDSS requirements for
portable VHF radios for Safety at Sea and is
waterproof to the IP67 standard.
As part of the required safety equipment, the
SP3520 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 SP3520 is designed for daily use and it
connects easily to external equipment like
headsets and fist mikes, making the SP3520
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
machine interface, an excellent grip even with
gloves, and large tactile buttons.
