How to Fit an ACR ResQlink AIS to the Atlas 190 Hammar Life Jacket
These instructions will guide you through fitting your device into an Atlas lifejacket. Follow each
step carefully to ensure it functions safely and correctly. Handle the lifejacket and all device
components with care to avoid damage during installation.
Before You Begin
Make sure you're familiar with how your Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) works—especially how to
disable and re-enable it. You'll need to do this during the fitting process. If unsure, please refer to
your Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) manual.
You will need a sharp pair of scissors and a flat surface to work on.
Step 1: Open the Lifejacket
Open your Atlas lifejacket via the burst point and peel the cover apart to expose the inflatable
bladder. Spread the bladder out flat, being careful not to catch or snag the manual inflation cord.
For more details on unpacking, refer to your user manual.
Step 2: Cut the Lower Slot
Using scissors, carefully cut the lower slot along the dotted line. Be sure not to cut or damage the
inflatable bladder.
