Activating the sMRT AU10
Activation commences dual-operation Personal Locating Device
transmissions on the 121.5 MHz search and rescue (SAR) frequency,
while simultaneously transmitting GPS position coordinates on AIS
channels AIS1 and AIS2. sMRT AU10 transmissions continue after
activation until the device is disarmed/switched [OFF]. There are two
methods of activation.
Press the round rubber
ACTIVATION BUTTON.
The sMRT AU10 also activates
automatically after 2 seconds of
continuous immersion in water.
Audio SOS BEEPs can be heard and flashing RED LEDs are visible when
the unit is transmitting on full power. This pattern cycles continuously until
the unit is disarmed/switched [OFF].
Important Note: The unit has two AUTO ACTIVATION WATER
SENSORS (a metal screw on top of the unit and within the base
cap). Both these sensors have to be continuously immersed for a
period of not less than 2 seconds to allow the unit to wake up and
auto-activate, this prevents inadvertent activation by spray, rain or
splashes.
