SAFETY NOTICES
It is recommended that the Self Test is performed once a month in the limit of 10 tests per year -
unnecessary testing reduces battery life in the event of an emergency. Return the unit to a service
center for battery replacement if battery level is low (single flash in Self Test mode).
Confirm that the battery expiry date shown is in date for the duration of intended use.
Transmission of the first emergency alert message occurs 50 seconds after the unit is activated. This
allows time for the unit to be switched off before the rescue services are alerted if accidentally
activated.
•
For optimum transmission, the antenna must be pointing
vertically upwards at all times.
•
Do not hold the antenna.
•
Fit the lanyard through the eye hole in the base of the unit
and fasten securely to your clothing.
•
The unit will not float without the buoyancy pouch.
•
The unit is not designed to float in an
upright position or transmit a distress alert
when floating in water. Once activated it
must always be kept above water, as direct
contact with the sea will severely reduce
the transmission range.
•
Ensure that the area marked "GPS Zone" is
not obstructed or covered in any way and
always has a clear view of the sky.
•
In strong winds, turn the unit so the
indicator light faces into the wind.
