Figure 5 - Belt Clip . 5.1 Multi-Function Belt Clip The MicrOFix™ comes standard with a multi-function belt clip. To install the clip, simply align the bottom tabs on the clip with the insert holes located on the bottom of the beacon. Snap the clip in place by pressing the top of the clip so that the two top tabs engage in the two insert holes on the top of the beacon (see figure 5). To remove the clip, push up and back on the top tabs one at a time to disengage the clip from the beacon. The MicrOFix™ clip has been designed to accommodate your extreme adventures. You can secure your beacon directly to backpack webbing straps, life jackets or belts to ensure the beacon is close at hand. ACR recommends that you secure your beacon someplace on your person that is easily accessible in case of an emergency for rapid activation. Ensure the beacon is secured firmly and is protected before heading out to avoid damage or loss. NOTE: ACR recommends that once you have clipped your beacon in place that you also anchor the beacon with the lanyard to your life jacket, backpack, etc. to ensure the unit will not be lost if it should break out of the clip. Manual Footer 5.2 Attachment Clip Figure 6- Attachment Clip . . The ResQFix™ comes standard with an attachment clip. To install the clip, simply align the bottom tabs on the clip with the insert holes located on the bottom of the beacon. Snap the clip in place by pressing the top of the clip so that the two top tabs engage in the two insert holes on the top of the beacon (See figure 6). To remove the clip, push up and back on the top tabs one at a time to disengage from the beacon. The ResQFix™ clip has been designed to secure your beacon directly to life jacket webbing straps or belts to ensure the beacon is close at hand. ACR recommends that you have a strap on your life jacket in the shoulder area for attachment of the ResQFix™. The beacon should hang with the GPS receiver up in order to give it the best possible view of the sky. It is also recommended that you try your life jacket on in the water to see how you float in it and where to best locate the beacon so that the beacon is not in the water. You may choose to carry your beacon in a pocket but you should have a strap installed on your life jacket to attach the beacon when it is activated. This will leave your hands free while treading water. NOTE: ACR recommends that once you have clipped your beacon in place that you also secure the beacon with the lanyard to your life jacket, backpack, etc. to ensure the unit will not be lost if it should break out of the clip. Figure 7 - Flotation Pouch 5.3 Flotation Pouch The ResQFix™ is a Category I beacon thanks to the neoprene flotation pouch attached to the lanyard. The pouch has been designed to work with and without the attachment holster. Simply open the bottom of the pouch using the Velcro and slide the top of the ResQFix™ into the pouch with the GPS receiver exposed through the special cut out hole on the front underneath the ACR logo. The neoprene flotation pouch will accommodate the ResQFix™ and the attachment clip. The neoprene pouch is designed to float the beacon if it is dropped in the water. CAUTION: If you secure additional objects to the neoprene pouch it may sink. WARNING: The ResQFix™ must be removed from its pouch when used in an emergency. SECTION 6 – CARE AND MAINTENANCE 6.1 Routine Maintenance Carefully inspect the beacon case for any visible cracks. Cracks may admit moisture, which could falsely activate the beacon or otherwise cause a malfunction. Any cracking observed should be immediately referred to ACR for evaluation by calling 1-800-432-0227 in the US, or +1-954-981-3333 elsewhere. ACR technical support can also be reached by sending an email to service@acrelectronics.com. After checking the beacon case for cracks, it may be wiped down with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use any type of cleaner on your beacon. Manual Footer 6.2 Battery Replacement The battery must be replaced by the date indicated on the beacon or every five (5) years. At each inspection, check the time remaining until replacement is required. The battery should be replaced if the beacon has been activated for any use other than the self test. Always refer all long life battery replacement and other beacon service to a factory authorized service center. Battery replacement includes servicing the beacon by replacing all o-rings, testing the water seal and the electrical properties. NOTE: There are no user serviceable items inside the beacon. DO NOT OPEN THE BEACON.
