CONTACTS FOR REPORTING ACTIVATIONS
If you suspect that a PLB has been activated inadvertently, you MUST turn it off
and report it immediately to your National Authority‘s Rescue Coordination Centre
to prevent an unnecessary search.
When reporting, you should include the following:
•
15 character Unique Identifier Number (UIN), which is marked on the
unit body (e.g. “UIN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
•
Date, time and duration of activation
•
Cause of activation
•
Location at time of activation
Search and Rescue authorities will not penalize a beacon owner or operator in
cases of genuine accidental activation.
