When Safety Counts – Never Be Alone

Includes Emergency notification that will switch to a designated channel and send an emergency alert for help.

Also includes Remote Listen which turns the radio transmit on remotely if needed to check out what is happening near the radio.  For enhanced user safety, the Lone Worker mode is a built-in timer that requires the user to reset at a predetermined interval. If not reset, the radio automatically switches to Emergency mode to alert help.

Withstands Harsh Environments

Rain, snow, fire suppression spray and dust are no problem for these radios manufactured to strict IP ratings. The VX-820 Series meets international waterproofing standard IP 57 where fresh water does not harm the radio when submersed to a depth of three feet for up to 30 minutes.
