3-3 Manual activation
Do not set the selector switch to “ON “except the case of manual activation in the emergency.
Distress signals are emitted when turning the selector switch “ON”.
If the selector switch is set to “ON”, the Satellite EPIRB is activated, and it sends distress signals 50 seconds
later regardless of its status.
When you activate the Satellite EPIRB manually, open the hatch of automatic release bracket, release the
stopper by breaking the stopper pin, and set the selector switch to “ON”.
To stop activation, set the selector switch to "READY", and take the Satellite EPIRB out of water if it is in the
water.
Be sure to return the stopper to the original position after the selector switch was set.
