10 End User Recommendations
The pendant transmitter housing is waterproof up to the IP67 standard
when the battery door is properly seated and in the locked position. The
product is designed for incidental/momentary submersion in water, but not
for extended submersion. As such, we offer the following recommendations
to the end user:
