Operating Instructions
Manual activation:
Option 1:
Remove antenna tip (A) from holder and press the
antenna tip into the manual activation/ deactivation recess
(B) on the face of the transmitter for 3 seconds until the
DML begins flashing rapidly. See figure 2.
Option 2: If transmitter is being worn in the blue nylon
pouch provided (see figure 3), release the securing strap and
align the embedded magnet with the round recess for 3
seconds until the DML begins flashing rapidly.
After the distress marker light begins flashing, remove
antenna tip / embedded magnet. Approximately 3-5 seconds
after DML begins flashing, the transmitter will begin
transmitting.
Automatic activation:
The transmitter will activate when
the water sensors are submerged in saltwater for at least 3
seconds.
All Clear (deactivate transmitter):
When the MOB is recovered, align the antenna tip /
embedded magnet with the manual activation/ deactivation recess. This sends an ALL CLEAR
message to the receiver and returns the transmitter to the ARMED mode.
Wearing the transmitter
THE TRANSMITTER MUST BE WORN SO
THAT THE WATER SENSORS ARE UNDER
WATER AND WET AND THE ANTENNA IS
ABOVE THE WATER SURFACE WHEN THE
PERSON IS FLOATING.
The transmitter can be
attached to a PFD using the pouch provided by the
manufacturer (figures 3 and 4) with the antenna
attached to the collar using a lanyard clip. In
addition, the transmitter has been designed to be
worn around the neck. See figure 5. This affords the
best opportunity for the signal to be received in a
man overboard event if the MOB is not wearing a
PFD.
