The Fast Find will NOT float but is waterproof to 10 meters submersion for
short periods. To avoid loss if dropped into water fit a retaining lanyard
through the eye hole in the base of the PLB and fasten it securely to your
clothing or personal floatation device.
The PLB is not a substitute for an EPIRB that may be required under
maritime regulation.
Note: In some countries the Fast Find PLB may be sold with an auxiliary flotation device but is
not designed to float in an upright position or transmit a distress alert when floating in water.
