1.1 Introduction
The Simrad Axis waterproof handheld VHF
radio is manufactured in our modern factory
facilities in the UK. The radio was designed to
meet or exceed stringent International
Regulations including EN301 178.
In addition Simrad GMDSS specification
radios conform to Pan European specification
ETS300 225 for the use of radios for Safety at
Sea, including waterproofing to IP67/68 stan-
dard.
Please note that regulations vary from country
to country. Simrad sets are also approved
specifically by the countries in which they are
sold. Consequently, there may be differences in
the programming of sets bought in different
countries, and therefore in their associated
manuals. If using outside the country of pur-
chase, it is vital to check that the set conforms
to local regulations before use.
Thank you for choosing Simrad.
If you are pleased with your radio, we hope

ment and reserve the right to alter and
