STEP THREE - MAINTAINING YOUR PLB

1. Routine Maintenance
Carefully inspect the beacon case for any visible cracks. Cracks may
admit moisture, which could falsely activate the beacon or otherwise
cause a malfunction. Any cracks observed should be immediately
referred to ACR for evaluation by calling +1 (954) 981-3333. ACR
Technical Support can also be reached by sending an email to
service@acrelectronics.com.
After checking the beacon case for cracks, it may be wiped down with a
clean, damp cloth. Do not use any type of cleaner on your beacon.
2. Battery Replacement
Replace the battery no later than 6 years from date of manufacture, 5
years from date of install, or after emergency use. At each inspection,
check the time remaining until replacement is required. The battery
should be replaced if the beacon has been activated for any use other
than the Self-test. Always refer battery replacements and other beacon
service to a factory authorized Battery Replacement Center. Battery
replacement includes servicing the beacon by replacing all o-rings,
testing the water seal and the electrical properties.
NOTE: There are no user serviceable items inside the beacon. DO NOT
OPEN THE BEACON. Opening the beacon will void the warranty.
WARNING: This device is life saving equipment. The battery
chemistry, make and construction are controlled by regulation. Battery
service may only be performed by factory-trained personnel with OEM
parts tested to meet the applicable standards and retain approvals.
Unauthorized service may also result in the product failing to perform in
an emergency. Ask your service center if they have been specifically
authorized by ACR to service this product, and do not leave the beacon
with them if they are not an ACR Battery Replacement Center (BRC).
