1.3.1 Registration in Canada
The National Authority in Canada is the NSS (National Search & Rescue Secretariat). Canadian
residents can register online at http:beacons.nss.gc.ca. For more information please contact the NSS
at (613) 966-1504 or (800) 727-9414.
1.4 Registration Outside of the United States
In countries other than the United States, 406 MHz P-EPIRBs are registered with that country's
National Authority at the time of Purchase. The Sales agent should assist in filling out the forms and
sending to that country's National Authority. To verify that the unit is properly programmed for that
country, view the UIN label on the side of the unit. In the event that the P-EPIRB is not programmed
for the country in which it has been purchased, the sales agent, (if properly equipped) can reprogram
the unit for that country.
1.5 Change of ownership or contact information
It is the owner's responsibility to advise the National Authority of any change in the information on
the registration form. If the current owner of the P-EPIRB is transferring the P-EPIRB to a new
owner, the current owner is required to inform the National Authority by Letter, Fax or telephone, of
the name and address of the new owner. The new owner of the P-EPIRB is required to provide the
National Authority with all of the information requested on the Registration form. This obligation
transfers to all subsequent owners. Registration forms are available from NOAA, call +1(888) 212-
7283 or visit our website at www.acrelectronics.com.
1.6 Lost P-EPIRB's
Inform NOAA immediately at 1-888-212-SAVE (7283), or your national authority, that your
P-EPIRB has been lost. They will update your P-EPIRB registration information with the appropriate
information.
1.7 Stolen P-EPIRB's
Things That You Need To Do:
• Report to your local police department that the P-EPIRB has been stolen.

information so your P-EPIRB registration information can be updated with the appropriate
remarks:

- Police Phone Number
- Police Case Number
If your P-EPIRB were to activate, the information you provide will be forwarded to the appropriate
Search and Rescue Authorities who will ensure that your P-EPIRB gets back to you. And, if
someone attempts to register a P-EPIRB reported as stolen, NOAA or your national authority will
notify the appropriate Police Department.
