6. Changing ownership or contact information
As the owner of the beacon, it is your responsibility to advise the national
authority of any change in your registration information. If you are transferring
the beacon to a new owner, you are required to inform the national authority.
You can do this by using their online database or by letter, fax or telephone and
informing the authority of the name and address of the new owner.
The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the national authority with
all of the information requested on the registration form. This obligation
transfers to all subsequent owners. See earlier section, STEP ONE, for further
details on this process.
7. Lost or stolen PLBs
If your PLB is lost or stolen, do the following immediately:
// Report to your local authorities that the PLB has been lost or stolen
// Contact NOAA at (888) 212-7283 (212-SAVE), or your national authority, with
the following information:
o
Police department name
o
Police department phone number
o
Police case number
If your PLB were to be activated, the information you provided will be forwarded
to the appropriate search and rescue authorities who will ensure that your PLB
gets back to you. If someone attempts to register a PLB reported as stolen,
NOAA or your national authority will notify the appropriate police department.
