Safety notices
It is recommended that the Self Test is performed once a month - unnecessary
testing reduces battery life in the event of an emergency. Return the unit to a service
centre 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 optional
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.
