9.2. How to register

Three registration forms are provided, two are for future use and one must be completed
now. The forms are all pre-printed with you EPIRB´s identity, all you have to do is complete
details of your vessel and provide some contact numbers. Wherever possible the forms are
also pre-printed with the correct mailing address and a faxback number. If you form does not
have a mailing address, contact your supplier. When you have completed the form, you can
choose to fax it or mail it.
IMPORTANT: The registration system in United States has changed. See Page 30.
It is usual to receive confirmation when you register. In the UK and USA you will also
receive a „Decal sticker which you must fit to the E3 itself. The Decal is proof of registration.
Not having a Decal is an offence.

9.3. Warranty form

Please complete the warranty form supplied and fax or mail it to McMurdo. Failure to do
this may delay any future warranty claim.

9.4. Radio licence.

An EPIRB is a radio transmitter and must therefore be added to your radio licence. If you
have been allocated a radio callsign, then you already have a radio licence for your VHF of
MF radio set. You should update your licence to include your EPIRB. For further details see

EPIRBs registered in the USA, Canada, UK and Australia do not need to be reprogrammed
