13. A screen displaying ‘Searching’ will appear. The ‘Searching’
screen will remain visible whilst you remain within 10-20
meters of the point of loss. The point of loss is the point at
which the alarm is activated.
15. The ‘Searching’ screen will change to an arrow pointing back to
the ‘Point of loss’. It is important to note the arrow DOES NOT
track the Tag, it points back to the stored GPS location where
the alarm occurred, (Note: the accuracy of your GPS can vary
depending on your mobile device.)
14. Walk at least 50 paces away from the Tag, simulating the vessel
moving away from the person overboard.
16. Follow the arrow towards the 'Point of loss'. This will be within the
same area as the switched off OLAS transmitter. The screen will
revert to ‘Searching’ when back within 20 meters of the 'Point of
loss'.
