3. The MINI B ILS H ON EPIRB has a dated battery life. When purchasing a new battery, make sure the battery is fresh. The battery expiry date is obtained by adding the battery manufacturers rated replacement life of 10 years to the date of manufacture. For example, a date code of 6J1313 would have a Battery Expiry Date of October 13, 2006.
1. Check the antenna tip and spring for any signs of damage or corrosion. If antenna has been bent during storage, it is normal for it to maintain a slight bend. This will not effect performance. 2. Check the antenna for any signs of chafing, wear, cracks, or other damage, and signs of resultant corrosion beneath the covering.

The MINI B ILS H ON has a speaker, fed by voltage from the microprocessor and the transmitter, which produces the audible warble. This EPIRB will emit a distinctive warbling sound when operationally tested. Any change in the audible warble, (a loss of sound or intermittent sound), is an indication that you should have your beacon serviced at an authorized service station.
