Registration outside of the United States
In countries other than the United States, 406 MHz beacons are registered
with that country's national authority at the time of purchase. The sales agent
should have assisted you in filling out the forms and sending them to the
country's national authority. Alternatively, many countries allow online
registration in the International 406 MHz Beacon Registration Database
(IBRD) at www.406registration.com.
To verify that the unit is properly programmed for your country, view the UIN
label on the back of the unit. In the event that the beacon is not programmed
for your country, the sales agent (if properly equipped) can reprogram the unit
for the correct country.
4. Do I need a radio license?
In the United States, you may or may not need to obtain or update a radio
station license. Check the FCC's website at
http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=licensing&id=ship_stations or
call toll-free (888) 225-5322 (CALLFCC) for the latest information.
Outside of the United States, contact your local authority for the
requirements.
