1. INTRODUCTION
The Fast Find Ranger Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) gives you t he reassurance of a last resort
safeguard against any life threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world. If you find
yourself in a remote area without any other form of emergency communication, on land or at sea,
your Fast Find Ranger can call for help.
When triggered, the Fast Find Ranger transmits a
unique serialized ID to the Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR
satellite system which can pinpoint your location
anywhere on the earth's surface. This is typically
within minutes, but can be up to 45 minutes
depending on satellite coverage. The Rescue
Coordinati on Centre (RCC) the n forwards the de tails of
the emergency to the appropriate local Search And
Rescue (SAR) services.
Waterproof and fully s ubmersible to 10 meters, the Fast Find Ranger features an inbuilt GPS and
GALILEO receive r that can pinpoint yo ur location to within a few meters. Dense tree cover or a steepsided canyon can sometimes make it difficult for the GPS-GALILEO to obtain a position fix. If this is
the case, the satellites will still be able to pinpoint your a pproximate location and the unit’s
secondary ho ming transmitter enables SAR teams to home in on your exact location once they are
in the vicini ty. The uni t also features a flas hing SOS light which can be used to attract attention.
The lithium power cell offers a minimum 24 hours continuous opera tion and a 6 year battery storage
life.
Please take time to read this manual fully before using the Fast Find Ranger as it contains i mportant
information regarding the correct use and maintenance of the product.
IMPORTANT: The present user manual only applies to Fast Find
Ranger wi th model number Z424. The model number is visible on
the rear label of the PLB. If model number is different from Z424,
please refer to the original User Manual delivered with your PLB.

2. SAFETY NOTICES
It is recommended that the Self Test is performed once a month in the limit of 10 tests per year unnecessary testing reduces battery life in the event of an emergency. Return the unit to a service
center for battery replacement if battery level is low (single flash in Self Test mode).
Confirm that the batter y expiry date shown is in date for the duration of intended use.
Transmissio n of the first emergency alert message occurs 50 seconds afte r the unit is activa ted. This
allows time for t he unit to be switched off before the rescue services are alerted if accidentally
activated.
• For optimum transmission, the ante nna must be pointing
vertically upwards at all times.
• Do not hold the antenna.
• Fit the lany ard through the eye hole in the base o f the unit and
fasten securely to your clothing.
• The unit will not float without the buoyancy pouch.
• The unit is not designed to float in an upright
position or transmit a distress alert when
floating in wa ter. Once activated it must
always be kept above water , as direct contact
with the sea will severely reduce the
transmissio n range.
• Ensure that t he area marke d "GPS Zone" is
not obstructed or covered in any way and
always has a clear view of the sky.
• In strong winds, turn the unit so the indicator
light faces into the wind.
