What country should I register in?
The beacon must be registered in the country of the owner‟s residence.
If the beacon is not programmed to that country‟s code and protocol,
and the residence is outside of the USA, the beacon needs to be
reprogrammed.
The beacon must be reprogrammed if you, as the owner, permanently
move out of the country where the beacon is registered. To verify the
country for which a beacon is programmed, see the label with the UIN
(Unique Identification Number) on the back of the unit.
How do I register?
Registration in the United States
The national authority that accepts registrations in the United States is
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
There are three ways to register:
1. The fastest and easiest way to register is online at
www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov/
.
2. Faxing a registration is also acceptable. Fax the registration form to
the fax number on the top of the registration form.
NOTE:
Do not confuse the registration form with the ACR Electronics
warranty card.
3. If online or fax registration is not available, mail the registration form
with the pre-addressed, postage paid envelope to:
SARSAT Beacon Registration NOAA
NSOF, E/SP053
4231 Suitland Road
Suitland, MD 20746
All registration forms will be entered in the 406 MHz beacon registration
database within 48 hours of receipt. The information you provide on the
registration form is used for rescue purposes only.
A confirmation letter, a copy of the actual registration and a proof-of-
registration decal will be mailed to you within two weeks. When you
receive these documents,
please check the information carefully,
and
then affix the decal to your beacon in the area marked “BEACON
DECAL HERE.”
It is very important that the proof of registration
decal matches the UIN on the beacon.
If you do not receive
confirmation back from NOAA within two weeks, call toll free (888) 212-
7283 for assistance.
