2.5 Operating Modes
Your EPIRB3 may be operated in a variety of modes.
2.5.1 Manual Release and Automatic Activation
Should the vessel be in danger of sinking the EPIRB3 should be
removed from its bracket, the antenna extended and then placed
in the sea. Contact with the water will automatically activate the
EPIRB3.
2.5.2 Manual activation on deck
When deploying the EPIRB3 on a deck, ensure it is vertical and
clear of obstructions that might impede a clear view of the sky. If
the unit is thrown into the water then it will activate automatically.
2.5.3 Manual activation in a life raft
The EPIRB3 may be deployed from a life-raft, where it should be
held in a vertical position so that there is a clear view of the sky. It
is recommended that the EPIRB is held outside of the canopy. The
EPIRB3 can also be tethered to the life-raft and allowed to float
alongside.
