EDF1 operating instructions
The EDF1 emits high intensity flashing light when activated. Avoid looking
directly into the flare. Do not point the EDF1 flare in to the eyes of other
people.
Introduction
The rescueME EDF1 Electronic Distress Flare offers the user a safe and long-lasting
solution to visual signalling and location in an emergency. For distress alerting Ocean
Signal recommends using either the PLB1 or one of our range of EPIRBs.
Operation
To activate the EDF1, slide the red protective tab down
and then press the ON key until the LEDs flash. The
flare turns on in ECONOMY mode. Repeated single
presses of the ON key, for less than one second, will
cycle through the three levels of brightness and the
beam mode.
The four modes are Economy, Bright, Ultra and Beam,
as illustrated below.
To turn off the EDF1, press and hold the ON key for one second until the LEDs extinguish
SOS mode
To activate the SOS signalling function, press the TEST key for less than one second. The
flare will now transmit SOS in Morse code every twenty seconds. The SOS function
operates in any of the four modes and remains active even when the mode is changed.
Press the TEST key again to exit the SOS mode. The SOS mode is cancelled on the power
down of the unit.
