The EPIRB3 will now be operational. The strobe lights will begin to flash at a rate of once
every 2.5 seconds as soon as the unit is activated.
For best performance it is important that the EPIRB3 is in an upright position with a clear
view of the sky and as far away from any metallic structures as possible.
The EPIRB3 contains a GNSS receiver. Ensure that the GNSS antenna is not obstructed and
has a complete, unobstructed view of the sky – as indicated on the top of the EPIRB3.
A lanyard is provided to tether the EPIRB3 to the lifeboat or life raft to ensure that it does
not drift away. Make sure this is firmly attached.

The EPIRB3 will sense when it has been placed in water and automatically begin to operate
after a short delay, in the same manner as described above.
!
If the EPIRB3 is mounted in the Manual Bracket this function is disabled until the
EPIRB3 has been released from the bracket.

The antenna MUST be FULLY extended for optimum performance.
