8 FALSE ALERT
False alerts transmitted by EPIRB
False alerts are a serious problem for the rescue service. Nearly 90% of EPIRB initiated
distress alerts turn out to be false alarms.
If for any reason, your EPIRB should cause a false alarm, it is most important that you
contact the nearest search and rescue authority and tell them it was a false alarm.
They can then stand down any rescue service (coast radio station or appropriate
MCC or RCC). Use any means at your disposal to make contact. Switch off the distress
alarm by de-activating your EPIRB, as soon as possible.
If your beacon is activated in a non-distress situation or a distress situation which has
been resolved and you no longer require assistance, contact the nearest search and
rescue authorities via the most expeditious means available with the following
information:
• Beacon ID number (15 character UIN):
• Position (At time of activation):
• Date of Activation:
• Time of Activation (Time zone):
• Duration of Activation:
• Beacon make and model:
• Vessel Name/lD:
• Circumstances/cause (if known):
