Registration outside of the United States
In countries other than the United States, 406 MHz beacons are registered
with that country’s national authority at the time of purchase. The sales
agent should have assisted you in filling out the forms and sending them to
the country’s national authority. Alternatively, many countries allow online
registration in the International 406 MHz Beacon Registration Database
(IBRD) at
www.406registration.com
.
To verify that the unit is properly programmed for your country, view the UIN
label on the back of the unit. In the event that the beacon is not programmed
for your country, the sales agent (if properly equipped) can reprogram the
unit for the correct country.
