Cautions
aCtivatE only in an EMErGEnCy
• This PLB should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger to life.
• False alerts endanger lives and cause expensive disruption to Search & Rescue services.
Deliberate misuse of the device could result in a penalty.
• Spring action antenna. Mount and deploy in such a way as to avoid eye injury.
• Product and battery pack contain no user-serviceable parts. Do not dismantle.
• Contains lithium batteries. Do not incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit or recharge.
• Avoid cleaning the unit with chemical solvents as this may damage the case material.
• Radio Licensing. This product is a radio transmitter. Although US and UK owners are
not required to hold a radio licence to operate a PLB on land, some administrations
may require that the user holds a valid radio license to cover its ownership and use.
• This product emits low levels of radio frequency energy during operation. Avoid
handling the antenna once activated.
• The unit will not float if removed from the buoyancy pouch, fit a lanyard restraint
when near water to avoid loss.
• The top cap is fitted with an anti-tamper seal which is broken on activation of the
unit and must then be replaced. A new cap should then be fitted and the battery
condition checked as soon as is practical afterwards (see Self Test section).
• False alarm: If the unit has been accidentally activated or you are no longer in
danger prior to the arrival of the rescue services, switch off the unit and contact the
relevant rescue services as soon as possible.
