SAR forces will have information as to who you are as the owner of the beacon, the name and type of vessel that you have (if applicable), your address, and who to contact that might know of your current situation - but only if your beacon has been properly registered. Valuable search and rescue resources are wasted every year responding to false alerts, and registering your beacon helps to resolve this quickly. YOUR RESCUE WILL BE DELAYED IF YOUR BEACON ISN’T PROPERLY REGISTERED! Your personaliz

WARNING: Stow the EPIRB in a dry location as it will activate if out of the bracket and wet. WARNING: Non-ACR-supplied hydrostatic release units must not be installed in ACR Category I EPIRB brackets. ACR cannot and does not warrant the performance of other manufacturers’ products. Installation of a non-ACR-supplied HRU voids the warranty and potentially jeopardizes your safety. CAUTION:

The LED blinks green when GPS coordinates are sent. If a time period of 4 hours passes without the internal GPS receiver being able to update the last good set of navigational coordinates, the message transmitted by the beacon will revert back to default data. At this point the green LED will stop blinking and the red LED will flash. The internal GPS will continue to seek coordinates and when successful the green LED will flash. This new data will be transmitted in the next message burst and the
