MOB2 USER MANUAL GENERAL Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy This product complies with EN62479 (EU) and RSS-102 (Canada).

Warnings This equipment is intended for emergency use only and it should not be used for routine tracking of persons or property, including routine tracking of divers.

Each test will reduce the battery capacity slightly and reduce the operation time of your MOB2 during an emergency. Functional and DSC Test This test should be carried out once a month throughout the lifetime of an installed battery.

The battery must be replaced either prior to the expiry date or after the MOB2 has been used, even if only activated for a short period of time. Battery replacement must be carried out at an Ocean Signal authorised battery replacement centre.
