Foreword:
Congratulations and thank you! You have just purchased the finest personal locator EPIRB
available on the market. Other brands merely attempt to meet the requirements established by
government regulatory agencies. ACR designed its Mini B300 to work in real life situations and
to save lives. It, therefore, exceeds many of the requirements established by authorities. By
purchasing this EPIRB you have distinguished yourself as one of the safest persons in boating.
To be a responsible EPIRB owner:
· Read this manual.
· Activate your EPIRB ONLY in an emergency.
· Mount your EPIRB in an easily accessible spot or store it in your ditch/emergency kit.
· Prepare an emergency evacuation plan and rehearse it.
· In a grave and imminent situation, where you have exhausted all other means of rescue,
activate your EPIRB and leave it “On”. Do not turn it Off and On in the misguided belief that
you are saving battery power.
· NEVER set off a false alarm.
Please call or write for answers to questions or for information on other safety products
