OPERATION
WARNING: Use only in situations of grave and imminent danger.
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. Please observe the recommendations on testing in section 6.
5.1
Automatic Activation
When correctly packed in a lifejacket the MOB1 will automatically activate when the
lifejacket inflates. Should the lifejacket fail to fully inflate, it may be necessary to assist
the Activation Slide by pulling on the Activation Tape to fully release the Activation Slide.
5.2
Manual Activation
Only activate your MOB1 in situations requiring assistance ONLY in an
emergency. Deliberate misuse of your MOB1 may result in a fine.

To manually activate your MOB1 in an emergency, slide the red Arming Slide down.
Slide the grey Activation Slide to the Left or Right. The strobe light will start flashing.
The MOB1 will automatically start transmitting after 15seconds.

the green LED starts flashing. Release the key.
•
The antenna will be automatically released. Keep the MOB1 well away from your

•
Upon activation, the indicator LED will show eight short flashes during AIS
transmission and one long flash during DSC transmission. The colour of the flash
will be Red during position acquisition and green when the GPS position is being
received.
•
When operating the MOB1, tether the beacon to your body or the life jacket.

Hold your beacon with the antenna standing vertically. Keep the area marked 'GPS
Antenna' free from obstruction, which would interfere with the GPS reception.
Covering this area will interfere with the GPS reception.
