The JIS4 Standard is not really a Water-Proof standard, but rather water-resistant. JIS4 in a nutshell means the product must be able to work without damage after submersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. In other words, it is for products where expected use around water is not under high-pressure, but it could get wet and still be ok. Typical for products with intended use around pools, marine craft, or weather/rain use. Not intended for taking diving for example. **Q: Will it work in a heavily insulated aluminum siding with shop florescent lighting?** A: I have one in my large barn w/ florescent lighting, and it works better than the radio that was in there. I don't see where insulation would interfere with reception. **Q: Help an old geezer out here...what is the purpose of being able to plug in an iphone? Just charging it?** A: Just to output the audio into the radio so it is louder. You cannot charge the iPhone with the radio. **Q: how good is this radio dependable good reception strong** A: hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something . ## Frequently Bought Together - Sangean TB-100 TOUGHBOX FM/AM Aux Ultra-Rugged Digital Radio with Built-in Battery Charger, Green - Amazon Basics Rechargeable C Cell Batteries, 4-Pack, NiMH, 5000 mAh, Recharge up to 1000x Times, Pre-Charged - BONAI LCD Battery Charger for C D AA AAA 9V NiMH NiCD Rechargeable Batteries with Discharge Function and AC Plug Fast Charging --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1156192-tb-100-toughbox-fm-am-aux-ultra-rugged-digital-rechargeable](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1156192-tb-100-toughbox-fm-am-aux-ultra-rugged-digital-rechargeable) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
