10.2. How to register
Register on-line (were available) or complete the appropriate
registration form with your EPIRB's identity; vessels details and
emergency 24 hour contact numbers. Wherever possible the forms
are also pre-printed with the correct mailing address and a faxback
number. If your form does not have a mailing address, contact your
supplier. When you have completed the form, you can choose to fax it
or mail it.
It is usual to receive confirmation when you register. USA and UK
owners will also receive a "Decal" sticker which you must fit to the
EPIRB itself. The Decal is proof of registration. Not having a Decal
may be an offence in some countries.
