Deploy the beacon in an upright position with
the wire antenna vertical and well clear of any
surrounding obstructions such as trees or rocks . if
adverse weather conditions exist, use any available
props around the base of the beacon to ensure it
will not topple over . Where on-person operation is
unavoidable, choose an elevated position that also
achieves good local clearance around the vertical
wire antenna .
once the beacon has been
activated, leave it switched on .
A continuous signal is needed for
rescue Authorities to determine
your location .

extend .
2 . swing the antenna
fully upwards 180
degrees clockwise,
breaking the safety
seal . the antenna arm
will click into place .
the PlB is now ActivE .
the
mt410
will ‘beep’ and pulse the inbuilt light 20-21
times per minute .
the
mt410g
will emit a rapid series of ‘beeps’ and light
flashes for a period of 6 seconds, indicating to the user
that it has acquired a GPs position fix and is relaying this
position along with the distress signal and the unique
personal identifier to the cosPAs-sArsAt satellite system .
After 6 seconds the mt410G will continue to ‘beep’ and
pulse the light 20-21 times per minute .

special precautions must be taken when finally disposing
of your beacon at the end of it’s useful life . legislation may
determine the specific requirements which apply to you .
in the first instance, contact your national Authority for
advice . the following information may also be helpful:
to permanently disable the beacon:
1 . At the rear of the beacon remove the two retaining screws
located just under the safety seal . turn the unit over and
remove a third screw from the middle of the cap .
2 . release the antenna just sufficiently to allow the cap to
be partially withdrawn, remove the yellow plastic insert
from the front centre to allow the unit to slide apart .
3 . unplug the battery leads at the base of the circuit board .
• lithium batteries are generally not considered as hazardous
waste when fully discharged . qualified personnel may be
able to slowly and safely discharge the cells for you .
• the mt410 and mt410G contain many recyclable parts .
