STEP ONE - REGISTERING YOUR BEACON
1. Why is registration important?
As the owner of this 406 MHz beacon, it is mandatory that you register
it with the EPIRB national authority of your country: It is the law.
Please note that all 406 MHz beacons are required to have their registration
updated every two years by the owner.
HOW REGISTRATION WORKS:
All 406 MHz beacons transmit a Unique Identifier Number (UIN) when
activated. This UIN is programmed into the beacon based on the country in
which the beacon is registered, thus authorities are able to determine which
country
’s database will have your registration information. SAR forces will
have information as to who you are as the owner of the beacon, the name
and type of vessel that you have, your homeport, and who to contact that
might know of your current situation - but only if your beacon has been
properly registered. Valuable search and rescue resources are wasted
every year responding to false alarms, and registering your beacon helps to
resolve false alarms quickly.
Your unique ID code
programmed inside each EPIRB is
transmitted to Search and Rescue
(SAR). SAR forces use this code to pull
up your registration to find out valuable
information about who needs help.
YOUR RESCUE WILL
BE DELAYED IF YOUR
BEACON ISN’T PROPERLY
REGISTERED!
