CHAPTER 1. REGISTRATION OF INFORMATION
1.1 Necessity of Registration
The users of 406MHz beacons need to fill out the registration card containing vessel name,
Identification Data and Nationality and register the equipment to the government and the service
company. If you use unregistered equipment in the emergency situation, the search and rescue
operation cannot be done immediately owing to nothing information about ships in distress. The
SEP-500 GPS EPIRB will be delivered to the customers after saving all information for the users.
1.2 Radio Station License
An EPIRB is a radio transmitter and must therefore be added to your radio license.
If you have been allocated a radio callsign, then you already have a radio license for your VHF
or MF radio set. You should update your license to include your EPIRB.
For further details see your license or use these contact numbers.
