  • Page 4: General Description

    In the past, extensive and lengthy searches have been carried out for missing craft, sometimes to no avail. Your GME EPIRB is a self contained 406 MHz radio transmitter that emits an internationally-recognised distress signal on a frequency monitored by the COSPAS- SARSAT satellite system.
  • Page 5: About The Cospas-Sarsat System

    ABOUT THE COSPAS-SARSAT SYSTEM The COSPAS-SARSAT system is a complete global search and rescue service using geostationary and polar orbiting satellites. Many countries provide ground facilities known as Local User Terminals (LUTs). Polar orbiting satellites provide complete, although non-continuous, coverage of the earth (due to the fact that these satellites can only view a portion of the earth at any given time) and can accurately resolve an active beacons location.
  • Page 6: Preventing Accidental Activation

    Should the beacon be transferred to a new owner, as the previous owner you are to inform your National Authority by email, fax, letter or telephone of the name and address of the new owner. The new owner of the beacon is required to provide their National Authority with the information as shown on the registration form.
  • Page 7: Installation

    NOTE: Always stow the EPIRB in it’s bracket to minimise the possibility of an accidental automatic activation in the presence of moisture. The yellow collar, provided with this model‘s bracket, contains special features which temporarily inhibit automatic water activation of the EPIRB. If transporting the MT403/403G out of it’s mounting bracket, ensure that it remains completely dry at all times.
  • Page 8: To Stow The Epirb

    TO STOW THE EPIRB 1. Insert the EPIRB, antenna first, upwards into the bracket. 2. Press the tip of the antenna against the bottom of the three ridges in the antenna slot and slide the EPIRB upwards into the frame of the bracket so that the antenna folds over.
