FLASH SOS FEATURE
When the PLB is active, pressing the ON
button will cause the indicator light to flash a
Morse code SOS pattern. This can be used to
attract attention after nightfall. The SOS
pattern is repeated four times on each press.
To conserve battery life a maximum of
30 presses are allowed, after which this
feature is disabled.

DE-ACTIVATION AFTER USE

To turn off the Fast Find, press and hold the
TEST button for several seconds until the
indicator light stops flashing.
We recommend the antenna is re-wound
under the plastic peg. If possible, the yellow
antenna cover should
be pushed back in
place and temporarily
taped over, to avoid
accidentally pressing
of the ON button.
Important
As soon as possible the PLB should be
returned to a service agent, who will fit a new
antenna cover and check the battery
condition. If the PLB was active for more than
a few hours we recommend fitting a fresh
battery to ensure the full 24 hour operational
life is still available.
SELF TEST
Self-test verifies operation of the PLB by
checking all key features including the battery
and alert transmitters.
TEST button
Push and hold the
SELF TEST button for
a minimum of 2
seconds, the
FAST FIND
GET FOUND WITH
indicator light will flash once to indicate the
start of the self test sequence.
After a few seconds, a good self-test will
result in the indicator light flashing a number
of times in quick succession depending on
battery usage;
fresh battery self test pass
minimum usage self test pass
medium usage self test pass
NO FLASH self test fail PLB requires service
The PLB will switch off automatically when
the self-test has completed.
Important
Each self-test draws small amounts of energy
from the battery pack. Unnecessary testing of
the PLB will reduce the run time of the PLB in
an emergency. On average, the PLB should
only be self tested 12 times per year, or a total
of 60 times during the 5 year battery lifetime.
