For additional peace of mind, the DX400 Series has a market-leading IP68 submersible rating of 2 metres for 4 hours. Please see our accessories section for a complete listing.
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.
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/G
Meeting MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F/G and providing commercial grade construction for tough, enduring performance.

Entel’s radios support 8 channel zones with up-to 99 channels per zone. The Zones can be used to store channels for use at different sites, user groups etc.
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.
Multiple receive groups
This enables you to monitor two or more groups, e.g. a manager needs to monitor the Cleaning and Maintenance groups he manages.
Talker Alias
Most radios require you to have an up to date contact list, just like your phone, to display who is calling / talking. With Entel’s Talker Alias feature the radios alias is transmitted as text to the receiving radio(s) so it is always displayed (without having to re-program each radios contact list every time you add radios to the system).
Motorola compatible TDMA Two-Slot Direct Mode (aka ‘Two Slot Simplex’)
The DMR Digital standard splits a single 12.5Khz Analogue channel into two separate channels therefore doubling the number of channels available to the radio user. Two-Slot operation is normally only possible when a DMR Repeater is included in the system. However Entel DMR radios overcome this restriction on both Simplex & DMR446 channels so both channels (slots) are always available to the user no matter the channel type.
