4.6 Canadian Registration
All 406 transmitters must be registered. Load the disc that comes with this unit and you will be
prompted to complete the registration form. You can also go online by going to
http://www.nss.gc.ca/site/cospas-sarsat/emergencyBeacon_e.asp.
You must have your hex code
available to register online.
4.7 World Wide Registration
Each country maintains its own Search and Rescue (SAR) system. It is important to register
your information with the appropriate Aviation Authority in your country. Your beacon must
have your country’s prefix programmed into the message. The label on the top of the unit will
state the country code. If your country code is not on that label do not install until re-
programming has been completed.
4.8 Log Book Entry
An entry in the permanent aircraft records is required when an ELT is installed. The entry
should include a copy of the battery life-limit sticker. See your local aviation governing
authority for guidance on record keeping.
4.9 Special Programming
Check the top of the ELT to insure the country code that matches the country of registry. See
appendix C to verify code.
