GlobalWatchTMFeatures

The MOB Button

The MOB Button automatically saves the

precise coordinates of the incident and
immediately generates a distress message to
surrounding vessels. Another clever feature,
which could save you the precious seconds
that could mean a life.

Size it up!

The GlobalWatchTMalluring measurements are
(H)7.9"(20cm)x(W)11"(28cm)andit'sonly

2.4" (6 cm) deep. It's lightweight at 5.5 Ibs. (2.49 kg),
and will not take up precious space on your bridge,
even though keyboard and display are integrated.

Plug & Play

Inventive technology at its best! Two sockets
suffice to connect power, sensors and anten­nas. Initial Transponder operation is up
and running within minutes.

Complimentary
training software

GlobalWatch
Transponder functions. It is especially valuable

for simulating emergencies at sea and practising
the handling of alarms, long range interface
requests and messaging.

The free software is available upon request.
