GPS VERSION
Fast Find 210 has a built-in Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver to potentially reduce
the time for SAR teams to arrive on scene. If
the sky view is obscured by tree canopy or a
steep-sided canyon, the GPS may take longer,
or possibly fail to obtain a position fix. In this
case the distress alert may be transmitted
without GPS location information.
RADIO LICENSE
U.S. users are not required to hold a radio
license for a PLB. Other national
administrations may require the PLB user to
be licensed, for further advice check with
your dealer or contact your national
communications licensing authority.

USER REGISTRATION
The PLB's unique identifier must be registered
with the national authority indicated in the
white area on the rear of the PLB. Complete
the user registration form and return it to the
address indicated on the form. Some national
authorities allow online registration, a good
starting place is the online emergency
beacon registration database called IBRD at
www.406registration.com. IBRD will not
accept all registrations and where appropriate
you will be re-directed to your national
authority. Some countries (including USA and
UK) will send the registered user a DECAL
label which you are obliged to fit to the rear
of the PLB as 'proof of registration'.
