OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Tron 40GPS MkII is designed to be operated either manually or automatically. The EPIRB is
always armed, that is the EPIRB will automatically start to transmit when the EPIRB is out of the
bracket and deployed into water. In the lower part of the EPIRB there is an automatic safety switch.
This switch prevents the seawater contacts from operating the EPIRB (caused by ice, sea-spray etc.) as
long as the EPIRB is placed in its bracket. See chapter 6.5 Error codes.
