8. BEACON INSTALLATION

8.1. Mounting instructions plate

The SafeLink beacons are supplied with an instructions plate. This is a rigid plate with basic visual
instructions for how to operate the beacon in an emergency.

The instruction plate should be mounted next to the beacon so that it is easily visible in an
emergency. Use four screws (not supplied) to mount the plate.

Important: do not paint the plate; do not use strong degreasing solvent to clean it
