MOB1 USER MANUAL 

 

Part No 912S-01517 

 

Pass the tape around the bladder of the life jacket and clip the 
bracket to the MOB1 so that the MOB1 will be on the outside 
of the inflation tube as shown.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pull the tape tight with the free end of the tape, so that 
the bladder is free to inflate and remains folded in 
accordance with the life jacket manufacturer’s 
instructions.  Do not over tighten the tape.   

 

 

Test for tightness by ensuring you can freely insert a 

finger in between the tape and the bladder. 

 

 

Once the MOB1 is fully attached to the life-jacket, you are 
ready to arm the device, by sliding the red arming tab down.

 

 

Failure to arm the MOB1 will inhibit the auto 

activation of the MOB1 when needed and will STOP 
the life jacket inflating correctly. 

 

If the MOB1 has turned on during the installation 

process, make sure it is turned off by pressing and 
holding the TEST/OFF Key until the LED flashes red 
twice and release. 

 

 

 

Repack the bladder into the cover, ensuring the bladder does not get trapped in the 
fastening mechanism or tangled up.

 

 

For installation to life jackets where the bladder is permanently attached to the 

cover, please see the separate instruction sheet, available from the Ocean 
Signal website.
