sMRT AU10 User Manual v1.8
11 Disclaimer
The sMRT AU10 is an emergency rescue transmission device that should
only be activated as a last resort. Misuse or false activation is unlawful and
irresponsible, and could result in prosecution or penalty.
The sMRT AU10 should not be relied on as the only source of man
overboard notification and the vessel owner, operator or master must
exercise common prudence and good seamanship at all times. Use of the
sMRT AU10 in no way reduces liability of the vessel's master and crew who
have the primary responsibility for safety on board.
No device is 100% fail safe nor can it guarantee safe rescue in an
emergency. When activated, The sMRT AU10 is a dual-operation Maritime
Survivor Locating Device transmitting on the 121.5 MHz search and rescue
(SAR) frequency, while simultaneously transmitting GPS position
coordinates on AIS channels AIS1 and AIS2 to equipped vessels or stations
within range, but requires subsequent human interaction to acknowledge
and respond to the distress alert.
Satellite GPS lock and in-water tracking is dependent on the extent of
satellite system coverage and reception at the time and location of the
emergency. The actual time and success of rescue is therefore dependent
on all these contributing factors and as such, is outside the control of MRT.
