MOB1 USER MANUAL GENERAL Introduction The rescueME range of products provides the user with the latest technology specifically designed for compact size and ease of operation.

MOB1 USER MANUAL • Pass the tape around the bladder of the life jacket and clip the bracket to the MOB1 so that the MOB1 will be on the outside of the inflation tube as shown. • Pull the tape tight with the free end of the tape, so that the bladder is free to inflate and remains folded in accordance with the life jacket manufacturer’s instructions.
MOB1 USER MANUAL MMSI configuration If your vessel has a DSC enabled VHF radiotelephone, it is strongly recommended to programme your vessels MMSI number into your MOB1. This will allow the MOB1 to send the details of the man over board incident direct to the radio and sound the alarm. Self Identification The MOB1 is supplied with the self identification number pre programmed.

MOB1 USER MANUAL OPERATION WARNING: Use only in situations of grave and imminent danger. Misuse may result in a severe penalty. Ensure that your MOB1 is always fitted with an unused battery that is within the marked expiry date. Failure to do so may result in reduced operating time when used in a real emergency.
MOB1 USER MANUAL DSC All Ship Distress Alert transmission Applies only in countries where DSC All Ships Alerts are allowed. Press and hold the ON Key for over 5 seconds to transmit a single DSC All Ships Distress Alert. This should only be done in a dire emergency, if it is obvious that your alert is not being acted upon by you own vessel.
MOB1 USER MANUAL Testing Routine testing of your MOB1 once a month is recommended to ensure it is in good working order if needed, but please follow the guidance notes below on the frequency that tests should be carried out. Please remember that each test will reduce the battery capacity slightly and reduce the operation time of your MOB1 during an emergency.
MOB1 USER MANUAL will flash and the indicator LED will flash green or amber to show a pass or red to show fail status, as indicated in Table 1. The MOB1 will then automatically turn off. The DSC test requires that a valid MMSI has been programmed into the MOB1. See section 4 for instructions on programming the MMSI.
