3.6 Deactivation of the EPIRB
If the EPIRB has been accidentally activated or to deactivate it after use,
remove it from the water and move the switch back to its middle position.
Note that it can take up to 15 seconds before the strobe light stops
flashing.
3.7 False alerts
Take the following precautions to prevent inadvertent activation:
•
Make sure that the EPIRB is correctly mounted in the bracket.
•
Keep the EPIRB dry when it is not mounted in the bracket.
•
Keep the EPIRB away from strong magnetic fields.
If your EPIRB is activated in a non-distress situation, or a distress situation
which has been resolved and you no longer require assistance, deactivate
your EPIRB and contact the nearest SAR authorities to provide them with
the following information:
•
EPIRB ID number (15 characters UIN).
•
Date, time, and position at time of activation. (Time zone)
•
Date, time, and position at time of deactivation. (Time zone)
•
EPIRB make and model.
•
Vessel Name/lD.
•
Circumstances/cause of activation (if known).
False alerts are a serious problem for the rescue service.
Nearly 90% of EPIRB initiated distress alerts turn out to
be false alarms.
