MOB1 USER MANUAL
5 Version 01.00 13/02/2015
1. GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The rescueME range of products provides the user with the latest technology specifically
designed for compact size and ease of operation. The MOB1 is intended to alert your
vessel in the event that you fall overboard. It will then plot your location on a suitable AIS
equipped chart plotter.
1.2 Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy
This product also complies with EN62479 (EU) and RSS-102 (Canada).
This product has been evaluated for compliance with the FCC RF exposure limits given in
CFR 47 part 1.307(b) at a distance of greater than 5cms.
1.3 Warnings
A Man Over Board AIS transmitter is only intended for short range signalling to
an AIS receiver installed onboard your own vessel. It will not directly alert the
emergency services or any other vessels.
This equipment is intended for emergency use only and it should not be used for
routine tracking of persons or property, including routine tracking of divers.
If self-test is performed more frequently than once a month, then battery life
may be reduced.
This radio device is designed to only provide an effective alerting and locating
capability in close proximity to a vessel. This radio beacon is NOT an EPIRB.
DSC functionality may vary or be disabled according to individual countries
regulations. Older DSC radios may not respond to the individual relay call.
