The KG-805 is waterproof to IP55 standards. It is
dust resistant and rated to withstand water
projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against
enclosure from any direction for a limited
period. This radio is resistant to dust and water
only while the battery is properly installed and
locked in place with no gaps and the accessory
port is completely sealed with the accessory
port cover. Use of a headset or other accessory
will negate the dust and waterproofing features
of this radio. The KG-805 is NOT submersible.
