4. 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 license 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 has to be replaced following
any operation other than a Self-test or a GNSS Test.
•
For future servicing by a service center, keep the original packaging for transportation.
•
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.
