Preventing false alerts A false alert is any activation of the beacon, intentional or otherwise, that does not result from a situation of grave and imminent danger. Be sure to do the following to help minimize false alerts: . Register your beacon. This does not reduce false alert rates; however, when the beacon is properly registered, the situation can usually be resolved with a phone call. . Be careful with whom you leave your beacon.

The demodulated 121.5 MHz audio signal is annunciated at all times. If there is not any signal on the 121.5 MHz carrier, whether activated beacon or other source, static will be audible.

Take great care to hold the spring in place during removal and installation of the new HRU to prevent injury. WARNING: Stow the EPIRB in a dry location as it will activate if out of the bracket and wet.

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

2.) Remove the old HRU unit and rod from the bracket by pressing the spring release back and sliding the old HRU up and out of the bracket. 3.)

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
