This manual supports all configurations of PLB-410 and PLB-435 beacons. Depending on
country of registration, the beacon will have a unique country code identification in the part
number (for example, 2931.62 or 2932.64). As long as the first four digits are the same as one
of the part numbers on the cover, this manual is applicable. If you have questions regarding the
contents of this manual or something not covered in the manual, please contact our Technical
Service Department at ACR Electronics, Inc. +1 (954) 862-2110.
