Warnings
Before integrating My-MOB into your life jacket, make sure you read through the entire guide carefully so
as to become familiar with how the beacon works (Programming the craft's MMSI into the beacon,
Self-Test, integration into the jacket, placing the attachments on the jacket for automatic activation,
deactivating the beacon in the event of mishandling or a false alert).
The My-MOB beacon is an alert device that must only be used in the event of a real emergency and
imminent danger.
My-MOB contains magnetic components used to activate the beacon (a small magnet was fitted into the
cap). To ensure the beacon works properly, keep it away from all magnetic field sources (powerful
magnets, loud speakers, speakers, etc.).
My-MOB is a "man overboard" emergency beacon belonging to the M class. It includes three
radio-frequency technologies:
• An AIS transmitter used to send a local alert within a range set between 5 and 10 nautical miles,
depending on how rough the sea is. Ships fitted with AIS mapping (chart-plotting) receptors alone, or
coastal safety stations located within the beacon' s scope of operation will receive the AIS-MOB
emergency signal emitted by the beacon.
• A DSC transmitter/receiver used to send a local alert via the 70 DSC channel, with a range set
between 5 and 10 nautical miles. This distress signal will be received by all ships fitted with a DSC VHF, or
by CROSS surveillance and rescue centres located within the beacon's range. The receiver shows users
that their alert signal has indeed been acknowledged by rescue teams.
• A GPS receiver sends out the beacon's precise geo-location when a distress signal is triggered. The
ship's coordinates (latitude, longitude and speed) are also included in the alert signal.
My-MOB is not a person or object localisation system, and must never be used as such.
My-MOB must only be used in the event of an emergency and real danger. Activating the beacon
otherwise than in an emergency may lead to fines or a lawsuit against the user who voluntarily triggered
a false alarm.
If the beacon is set o by accident (sound and light signal), deactivate it immediately and promptly inform
the at-sea search and safety authorities who may have intercepted the false alert.
The beacon' s batteries can withstand an emergency signal lasting at least 12 hours, and will hold for 7
years after purchase. After the date marked on the label at the back of the beacon, stop using the beacon
and take it to a recycling center for electronic waste.
My-MOB is a watertight product, with specific batteries that cannot be purchased in major retail stores.
Never try to open the beacon up yourself. Any attempt to open up the beacon will cause the immediate
forfeit of the warranty, and SIMY cannot be held responsible in such cases. Attempting to open up the
beacon will also mean loss of watertightness and will damage the beacon for good.
Battery life and beacon operation can be tested by pressing the "self-test" button.
My-MOB contains a GPS receiver. Never obstruct the area marked on the beacon, so the GPS position can
be detected properly.
