This  beacon  contains  two  (2)  lithium  metal  battery  packs  that  are  less
than 2 grams each. They are not classified as Hazmat for transportation.
Prior  to  shipping  beacon  for  service,  alert  your  carrier  about  the
batteries  contained  in  this  equipment  to  make  sure  they  properly  label
your  package.  Call  ACR‟s  Technical  Service  department  at  +1  (954)
981-3333 for proper shipping instructions or visit the ACR website in the
Support section entitl

ed “Hazmat, MSDS Sheets, & Info”.

3. Self-Test

ACR strongly recommends performing the

Self-test once per month

,

or at least two weeks prior to a trip, to allow enough time for service,
should your beacon require it.

A Self-test is initiated by holding the Self-test button for at least ½
second and

less than 5 seconds

. Your beacon will sound an initial

“beep” and flash the green LED to signify the test has begun. Four more
beeps will follow. The green LED will flash a second time to indicate
that the Self-test was successful.

NOTE:

The

“beep” is a very high pitch sound that some people are

unable to hear. Watching the LEDs may be more useful to you.

Components Tested:

Data integrity and memory, 406 MHz

synthesizer, RF power/battery, GPS header (if equipped).

If a red LED flashes at the completion of the Self-test, your beacon has
failed. Repeat the Self-test. If the failure persists, contact ACR
Electronics or an authorized Battery Replacement Center to have your
beacon serviced.

NOTE:

During a Self-test your beacon will send a 406 MHz signal coded

as self-test to the satellite system. The 121.5 MHz homing signal is
inhibited during Self-test. This allows you to test your beacon any time
during the day without causing false alerts.
