IMPORTANT
TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE EPIRB
The battery module must be removed and treated according to
chapter 6.1.2 paragraph 1, 2, 3 and 4, chapter 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 1.1.1 and
6.1.6 in this manual.
WARNING
USE ONLY THIS EPIRB DURING SITUATIONS
OF GRAVE AND IMMINENT DANGER
FALSE ALERTS
De-alerting sar forces in event of inadvertent activation, or assistance no longer required
False alarms divert rescue forces from real distress situations.
Intentional false alerts may result in penalties.
Responding to false alarms costs millions annually.
WE NEED YOUR HELP:
1. Remember: activating your beacon is the equivalent of trans-
mitting a mayday.
2. Follow manufacturer procedures when testing your beacon.
3. If your beacon is activated
• In a non-distress situation, or
• In a distress situation, which resolves, and you no longer
require assistance;
Contact the nearest sar authorities via the most expedetious
means available with the following information:
