9.5 Marking vessel name
In many countries it is usual to have your EPIRB programmed by your supplier (see
registration section). Your supplier will then mark all the EPIRB labels accordingly.
However, if your EPIRB was purchased in the USA, Canada or UK then your EPIRB
will have all the necessary markings except for vessel name. In these countries it is
usually left to the customer to mark the vessel name during installation.
It is strongly recommended (and is mandatory in some countries) that the vessel
name is marked on the rear of the EPIRB itself and also on the enclosure, if you have
one. Use the alpha-numeric stickers provided to mark the vessel name (or its
abbreviation) on the top line of the EPIRB’s rear label and again on the enclosure
label. Protect the markings with a section of the clear adhesive label provided.
1. Pick off required letter (a small
knife blade works well)
2. Apply letter to label
Repeat until name is complete
3. Cover letters with clear label
