The remote control features a 30.2 mm transflective MIP (memory-in-pixel) display with a resolution of 240 x 240 pixels. This screen ensures optimal readability even in full sunlight.

The remote control is made of glass-filled nylon. Its ergonomic and robust design ensures durability compliant with marine requirements.

The remote control has an IPX7 waterproof rating. This means it can withstand accidental immersion up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.

The remote control dimensions are 152 mm (width) x 52 mm (height) x 32 mm (depth). Its weight is 109 g without batteries.

The remote control requires two AA batteries. These batteries are not included with the product. For best performance, it is recommended to use lithium batteries.

With typical use, the remote control provides a battery life of approximately 240 hours with two AA batteries.
