OPERATION
!
WARNING: Use only in situations of grave and imminent danger.
Misuse may result in a severe penalty.
Hold the ResQLink AIS with the antenna standing vertically. Keep the area
marked ‘DO NOT OBSTRUCT’ below the red arming slider in clear view of the
sky. Covering this area will interfere with the GNSS reception and position
accuracy.
When left on land ensure the antenna is vertical and the area marked
‘DO NOT OBSTRUCT’ below the red arming slider in clear view of the sky.
When operated in a life raft hold the ResQLink AIS outside of the
canopy in clear view of the sky.
When fitted to an inflated life jacket being worn by a person
in the water the ResQLink AIS will naturally tend to lay on top
of the jacket with the antenna vertical. Should the ResQLink
AIS become dislodged from the jacket’s oral tube it should
be repositioned.
2.1
Activation when installed in a life jacket
When correctly packed in a life jacket the ResQLink AIS will activate when the life jacket inflates.
Should the life jacket fail to fully inflate, it may be necessary to assist the Activation Slide by pulling
on the Activation Tape to fully release the Activation Slide.
2.2
Manual activation
!
Only activate your ResQLink AIS in situations requiring assistance in an emergency.
Deliberate misuse of your ResQLink AIS may result in a fine.
•
To manually activate your ResQLink AIS in an emergency:
Slide the red Arming Slide down.
Slide the grey Activation Slide to the Left or Right.
!
Take great care to keep well clear of eyes and face as the antenna will be released very
quickly. Keep at least 30cm (12”) clear to avoid possible injury.
!
If the ResQLink AIS fails to activate when the slide is removed, press the ON Key until the
green
LED (blue
if RLS is enabled) illuminates for 1 second and starts flashing.
Release the key.
