GENERAL

The GyPSI™ 406 PLB comes with a GPS cable Plug Adapter that can be interfaced to your GPS
receiver to input actual GPS data into your beacon. This extra data can help improve reaction time
to your position in the event of an emergency. This data is particularly helpful when the GEOSAR
Satellite system picks up the Distress Alert.

GPS ADAPTER

3.2.1 Connecting:

Your External GPS I/R cable attaches to your PLB and the GPS receiver, forming a data transfer
link (like a printer cable). The cable plugs into the top of the unit, into the socket labeled GPS.
The other end has two wires that should be connected to the GPS Receiver's Data/Power Cable.
Consult your GPS Manual for wire identification for connections.
The Data/Power cable for your GPS receiver typically has connections for an external power
source and data output.
