Built to meet the needs of tough marine environments, the DX500 Series is certified to the UL913 intrinsically safe standard and offers outstanding performance. This commercial-grade portable delivers unmatched audio volume and clarity. The intuitive controls, designed for gloved hands, complement the high-contrast OLED display, which is easy to read in low-light conditions.
The compact and ultra-durable DX500 provides a far more natural sounding, 3 watts of digital audio, clearer and louder than radios twice their size. For further peace of mind, the DX500 Series has a market-leading IP68 submersible rating of 2 metres for 4 hours to cope with the harsh conditions of life at sea. We have produced a selection of certified and approved audio accessories for the DX500 Series, including remote speaker microphones, bone conductive skull mics and ear defender headsets.

MILSTD 810C/D/E/F - Meeting MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F and providing commercial grade construction for tough, enduring performance. Entel's radios conform to stringent standards, enabling them to withstand the everyday rigours of shock, vibration and the corrosive effects of dust and moisture, ensuring many years of trouble free use.
Outstanding Audio - Entel’s radios offer best-in-class performance with natural-sounding digital audio.
Li-ion battery technology & improved talk time - Entel's radios are supplied with the latest, high-capacity, intelligent Lithium-ion battery technology as standard. One key advantage of Lithium-ion battery technology is the way it eliminates ‘memory effect’, meaning that there is no need to fully discharge your battery before recharging. As a result of this, you are assured of a full charge each and every time you take your Entel battery from its charger.
Programmable buttons - To ensure your Entel radio meets your exact need its buttons can be programmed with the exact features you need.
Gold plated accessory connector - The radios multi-pin interface and Micro-USB socket are both submersible and gold-plated to minimise any risk of damage and protect against corrosion.
Locking accessory connector - All Entel accessories incorporate a robust locking connector and the radios accessory socket has been specifically designed so that when an accessory is secured to the portable, the connection can withstand any amount of punishment; from dropping to careless misuse.
Accessory audio tailoring - Entel's radios identify the attached accessory and automatically adjust its settings ensuring the most natural and readable audio possible is delivered even with bone conductive accessories and breathing apparatus com kits.
End user programmer - Entel adds and improves features on its DX radios by way of free software updates. Using Entel’s innovative End User Programmer app Entel DX radios can be easily upgraded without the Dealer having to visit site or courier the radios back and forth saving significant time and expense.
