IP55

This is one of a range of international standards that define the resistance of a product to various environmental hazards. IP stands for “Ingress Protection” and the IP-55 standard covers dust as well as low pressure water jets from any direction (often known as “driving rain” protection). Kenwood radio products carrying the IP-55 rating are therefore built to this high standard of protection against the sort of factors found in normal use.
