Figure 5 - Belt Clip

 

APPENDIX A - ACCESSORIES 

1.  Multi-Function Belt Clip 

The 

SARLink™  comes  standard  with  a  multi-

function  belt  clip.  To  install  the  clip,  simply  align 
the  bottom  tabs  on  the  clip  with  the  insert  holes 
located  on  the  bottom  of  the  beacon.  Snap  the 
clip  in  place  by  pressing  the  top  of  the  clip  so 
that  the  two  top  tabs  engage  in  the  two  insert 
holes on the top of the beacon (see Figure 5). To 
remove  the  clip,  push  up  and  back  on  the  top 
tabs one at a time to disengage the clip from the 
beacon. 
 
The 

belt 

clip 

has 

been 

designed 

to 

accommodate your extreme adventures.  
 
You  can  secure  your  beacon  directly  to 
backpack  webbing  straps,  life  jackets  or  belts  to  ensure  the  beacon  is 
close  at  hand.  ACR  recommends  that  you  secure  your  beacon 
someplace  on  your  person  that  is  easily  accessible  in  case  of  an 
emergency for rapid activation. Ensure the beacon is secured firmly and 
is protected before heading out to avoid damage or loss.  

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 ACR recommends that once you have clipped your beacon 

in place that you also anchor the beacon with the lanyard to your life 
jacket, backpack, etc. to ensure the unit will not be lost if it should 
break out of the clip.
