1.3.1 Registration in Canada
The National Authority in Canada is the NSS (National Search & Rescue Secretariat). Canadian
residents can register online at http:beacons.nss.gc.ca. For more information please contact the NSS
at (613) 966-1504 or (800) 727-9414.
1.4 Registration Outside of the United States
In countries other than the United States, 406 MHz PLBs are registered with that country's National
Authority at the time of Purchase. The Sales agent should assist in filling out the forms and sending
to that country's National Authority. To verify that the unit is properly programmed for that country,
view the UIN label on the side of the unit. In the event that the PLB is not programmed for the
country in which it has been purchased, the sales agent, (if properly equipped) can reprogram the unit
for that country.
1.5 Change of ownership or contact information
It is the owner's responsibility to advise the National Authority of any change in the information on
the registration form. If the current owner of the PLB is transferring the PLB to a new owner, the
current owner is required to inform the National Authority by Letter, Fax or telephone, of the name
and address of the new owner. The new owner of the PLB is required to provide the National
Authority with all of the information requested on the Registration form. This obligation transfers to
all subsequent owners. Registration forms are available from NOAA, call +1(888) 212-7283 or visit
our website at www.acrelectronics.com.

Inform NOAA immediately at 1-888-212-SAVE (7283), or your national authority, that your PLB
has been lost. They will update your PLB registration information with the appropriate information.
1.7 Stolen PLB's
Things That You Need To Do:
• Report to your local police department that the PLB has been stolen.

information so your PLB registration information can be updated with the appropriate remarks:

If your PLB was to activate, the information you provide will be forwarded to the appropriate Search
and Rescue Authorities who will ensure that your PLB gets back to you. And, if someone attempts to
register a PLB reported as stolen, NOAA or your national authority will notify the appropriate Police
