False Alerts

False alerts cause the rescue authorities unnecessary time and expense.
To avoid false alerts make sure your PLB1 is safely stowed with the
protective cover closed and the antenna fully wound in. Make sure that
there is no excessive pressure applied to the protective cover. Ensure that
anyone carrying the PLB1 is fully aware that this device is for emergen-
cies and should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger.
If you accidentally activate your beacon or otherwise set it off when a rescue is not required, contact
your local emergency services as soon as possible and advise them of your beacon's 15 digit HEX
code (UIN), your current location and the time the beacon was first activated.
The UIN is printed on the label on the rear of the PLB1.
