Wireless handset for RS40 VHF

The Simrad HS40 wireless handset is a remote control for your fixed Simrad VHF radio. It lets you control all radio functions, transmit and receive calls from any location on your boat, such as the cockpit or flybridge.

This wireless handheld is specifically designed to be compatible with the Simrad RS40 and Simrad RS40-B fixed VHF radios.

The handheld unit offers an impressive range of up to 70 meters in direct line of sight from the base station, thanks to its 802.11 b/g/n wireless connection.

Yes, the display unit is IPX7 certified. This means it is fully waterproof and protected against temporary immersion, making it perfectly suited to demanding marine environments.

Charging is done via magnetic induction. Simply place the device back on its dedicated base charger, which is powered directly from your boat's electrical system. This contactless system eliminates oxidation risks.

The unit is equipped with an internal 3.6 V Li-ion battery rated at 2050 mAh (5.1 Wh), designed to provide long endurance during your passages.

Yes. The handset replicates the base station’s functions, including initiating ASN (DSC) distress calls in an emergency.

Yes, the handset includes an intercom function. This allows you to communicate directly and easily with the main station located inside the boat.

The cradle charger of the handheld unit must be connected to your boat's 12 V DC (direct current) electrical system.

It is fitted with a monochrome backlit LCD screen (FSTN 256 x 160 pixels) providing excellent contrast for easy reading, day or night.

No, that's the whole point of this system. Communication with the VHF is wireless (via a proprietary 2.4 GHz connection). Only the charging base requires wiring to the boat's 12 V power supply.

Yes, if your main VHF (e.g., RS40-B) supports AIS, the display unit allows you to access critical navigation data and display information from nearby AIS targets directly on its screen.

Yes, the white LED backlight is adjustable over 10 levels and includes specific day and night modes for optimal visual comfort.

No, the HS40 wireless handheld uses a specific pairing protocol and is only compatible with Simrad RS40 and RS40-B models.

Pairing is done via the main VHF menu. Go to the wireless communication settings of the radio to start detection and associate the remote handset by following the on-screen instructions.

This display is designed to withstand extreme marine conditions and operates reliably within a temperature range from -15 °C to +55 °C.

Yes, the handset has its own integrated speaker and microphone, allowing you to clearly hear radio communications and respond without additional equipment.

The handheld communicates with the VHF base station using the Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz) wireless connection standard, ensuring a stable, fast, and secure link.

No, although the handheld replicates most functions of the RS40 VHF, it cannot control the hailer functions or the horn signals from the wireless handheld.

The remote's screen displays a battery level icon. When it is low, simply place the remote back on its inductive charging base for automatic recharging.
