Bulkhead bracket

If you purchased the manually activated EPIRB version, this is normally supplied with
a bulkhead mounting bracket (see section 8). The EPIRB is released by pulling out a
R-clip.
The bulkhead bracket should be sited in plain view near an emergency exit.
To avoid accidental activation if the EPIRB is removed from its mounting, the bracket
is in two sections. The removable collar section contains the deactivating magnet for
the EPIRB, so the demounted EPIRB with its attached CARRYSAFE collar cannot be
activated by moisture. This allows it to be removed easily and transported in, for
example, a wet grab bag.

WARNING
The EPIRB will NOT be activated by moisture while it is in the bracket or
in the CARRYSAFE collar (but it may activate if placed in close
proximity to a magnet). The EPIRB must be removed from all parts of
the bracket; it will then activate if immersed or if switched on manually.
