Page 5: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION The Fast Find Ranger Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) gives you the reassurance of a last resort safeguard against any life threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world. If you find yourself in a remote area without any other form of emergency communication, on land or at sea, your Fast Find Ranger can call for help.

2. SAFETY NOTICES It is recommended that the Self Test is performed once a month in the limit of 10 tests per year - unnecessary testing reduces battery life in the event of an emergency. Return the unit to a service center for battery replacement if battery level is low (single flash in Self Test mode).
