Ensure that the O-rings are always 

clean and free of contaminants.

Performing a test will reduce the 

battery life.  Only perform a test 

once before each dive trip.

This equipment is intended for 

emergency use.  Do not activate 

unless in an emergency situation.

Dive cap should remain sealed 

unless in distress situation or when 

performing self-test.

DSC functionality may be disabled 

in certain countries subject to 

regulations.

When replacing screws, do not 

overtighten. Tighten screws slightly 

past point of resistance.

The Nautilus GPS uses CR123 3V 

(1550 mAh) batteries.

Do not open dive cap underwater.

Be cautious when removing antenna 

retainer. The antenna may spring out 

rapidly.

In the case of accidental activation, 

the user should deactivate the 

Nautilus GPS distress signal and 

notify the appropriate search and 

rescue authorities (e.g., U.S. Coast 

Guard or Rescue Coordination 

Center serving the geographic 

region) at the earliest possible time.

The Nautilus Marine Rescue GPS is an aid to your safety. It is not a life-saving device.

It is not intended to save your life.    

In order to comply with CE RF 

exposure guidelines, ensure that the 

Nautilus GPS is at least 16cm from 

your body when transmitting.
