Is this device IP 56 Waterproof?

Perhaps it is mildly splash resistant, but I would not consider it waterproof. I would not want to dunk mine in the sink, let alone in 30 feet of water. In inclement weather, I use mine in a cloth bag with a separate PTT speaker-mike. Heat dissipation seems not to be a problem and the radio is pretty well protected from the weather. There are just too many ways to breach the seals and holes in the case. Even if the radio case were sealed (which it isn't), the battery does not seal against the radio. Do not consider it waterproof.

Hi Ray! To answer that question as best I can... After much research I come to the conclusion that as long as you're not in the deep ocean, sure it is. HOWEVER, you wouldn't want any electric device to stay in watery conditions too long as the gap in-between the controller box and wire could lead to severe damage if soaked for long periods of time, as well as you're battery of any sort. Other than that a minutes in the rain wouldn't hurt.

Consistenty, any electronic device will be affected in the long run if it's not waterproof. The life span will still last long for this device.

No, IR receiver is NOT waterproof. If your planning to use it outdoor be sure to seal it against rain, flood or direct hit of water. When you seal it, make sure the antenna is not hidden, remote signal is that strong.

No, it is not waterproof. The remote itself, however, is waterproof to a depth of 3 meters (10 feet). I am an underwater photographer and have experimented with a number of different configurations, none of which have worked well at depths of 30'-60'.

It is water resistant, but not water proof. It has an open USB port that has a plug...that will easily let water into the device if submerged. It would not survive jumping into the lake...but probably would survive a sprinkler or rain as it is located under the neck with the collar clamp.

you can but the device is not waterproof... if it is sheltered it not generally a problem. If it is exposed to water or rain it could be an issue. CSH

This thing didn't work from day one of opening the package above water let alone finding out if it was truly waterproof. Good luck.

This device is IPX7 waterproof rated, meaning 1m of depth for 30 minutes. As for USB, it can be powered off of USB, but not charged.

I have not tested it for its waterproof capabilities. The screen IS covered.

Shouldn't be a problem since the transmitter box is fairly tight and should not allow water to get inside to electronics.

No,and mine only worked for two weeks and the company would not make it good.."the waste of $ 200.00 plus dollars and it is not water proof, but i never dropped mine in the water.....mine just stopped working after two weeks. Priscilla. Davis. California

I'm not sure about the unit itself but your connections to a battery or another device wouldn't be. On the backside of the unit is a pocket with 2 USB connections. I only put it out when there is no rain in the forecast or it's with me. I have put it on the rear deck of my kayak in very calm water and a few drops of water haven't been an issue.

I do not know since I returned the meter after it had moisture in the display. The meter was advertised as waterproof.

Yep, that's the big selling point is that it's IPX8 certified to a depth of up to 100 feet. I used mine when snorkeling to take underwater pictures and video. Held up great on my first trip out, but the plastic seal ripped at the seam on my way to the beach the next day. It definitely works, but the durability and build quality were questionable in my case.

Yes. It is 100% waterproof. I was a little weary of that feature too, but I used it in the tub this weekend with no problems. The charging receptacle is covered by the purple silicone when it is not being charged.
