Simrad HS40 Wireless Handset for RS40 VHF Radio [000-14475-001]

Elevate your on-board communication with the Simrad HS40 Wireless Handset, a portable powerhouse designed for seamless integration with your fixed-mount RS40 VHF radio. This compact, handheld accessory delivers the full strength and advanced features of a stationary VHF system—such as 25W transmission power—while offering the mobility of a wireless device. Whether you're navigating the deck or coordinating with crew, the HS40 ensures reliable control without tethering you to the helm, providing unmatched freedom on vessels of any size.

Wireless VHF Mastery at Your Fingertips: Experience effortless remote operation of your RS40 VHF radio from anywhere on board. Effortlessly make calls, scan and select channels, and activate critical Digital Selective Calling (DSC) distress signals with intuitive controls. The HS40 maintains all the robust capabilities of your fixed-mount unit, including Class D DSC compliance for enhanced safety, all in a lightweight, ergonomic design that's easy to carry and operate even in rough seas.

Vessel-Wide Connectivity: Boasting an impressive 100-meter (328-foot) wireless range, the HS40 provides comprehensive coverage across even the largest powerboats or yachts. Pair one or multiple handsets with the RS40 base station to create a versatile on-board intercom network, fostering clear, instant communication between crew members at any location—ideal for coordinating maneuvers or emergency responses.

Built for the Marine Environment: Engineered for durability, the HS40 features an IPX7 waterproof rating, capable of withstanding immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Its innovative inductive charging cradle eliminates exposed connectors, minimizing vulnerability to saltwater, spray, and impacts. A single full charge delivers up to 8 hours of continuous use, with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that supports extended outings. The handset's rugged construction ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions, from coastal cruises to offshore adventures.
