Environmental protection – IP68 (2 Meters for 4 hours) Entel’s radios are approved to IP68 (2 Meters for 4 hours) rated construction, which means that they are dust protected and fully Submersible (even with the accessory cover removed).
MILSTD 810C/D/E/F – Meeting MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F and providing commercial grade construction for tough, enduring performance. Entel’s radios conform to stringent standards, enabling them to withstand the everyday rigours of shock, vibration and the corrosive effects of dust and moisture, ensuring many years of trouble free use.
Outstanding Audio – Entel’s radios offer best-in-class performance, with an impressive 3 watts of natural-sounding digital audio, far exceeding the output of radios almost twice their size.
Li-ion battery technology & improved talk time – Entel’s radios are supplied with the latest, high-capacity, intelligent Lithium-ion battery technology as standard. One key advantage of Lithium-ion battery technology is the way it eliminates ‘memory effect’, meaning that there is no need to fully discharge your battery before recharging. As a result of this, you are assured of a full charge each and every time you take your Entel battery from its charger.
Emergency button – By pressing the emergency button the radio will instantly send an alarm call to other radio(s) as well as sounding a local alarm. On receiving display models the radios unique ID / Alias is also displayed.
Programmable buttons – To ensure your Entel radio meets your exact need its buttons can be programmed with the exact features you need.
Gold plated accessory connector – The radios multi-pin interface and Micro-USB socket are both submersible and gold-plated to minimise any risk of damage and protect against corrosion.
Locking accessory connector – All Entel accessories incorporate a robust locking connector and the radios accessory socket has been specifically designed so that when an accessory is secured to the portable, the connection can withstand any amount of punishment; from dropping to careless misuse.
Accessory audio tailoring – Entel’s radios identify the attached accessory and automatically adjust its settings ensuring the most natural and readable audio possible is delivered even with bone conductive accessories and breathing apparatus com kits.
Memory scan – enables the radios user to create / change their own channel scan list.
End user programmer – Entel adds and improves features on its DX radios by way of free software updates. Using Entel’s innovative End User Programmer app Entel DX radios can be easily upgraded without the Dealer having to visit site or courier the radios back and forth saving significant time and expense.
