automatically or manually activated. The beacon should be hand held in a vertical orientation
(antenna up) to transmit effectively. No part of the antenna should be in contact with the water.
The beacon will float on it's own, but not in the optimum transmission position. The beacon
features an antenna quick release trigger. Warning. Do not hold beacon near face or body while
releasing the antenna. Antenna is spring loaded and deploys rapidly. The release trigger
holds the antenna down at the beacon's side in the stowed position. When the beacon is switched
to the "ON" position the antenna will spring into an upright position. The antenna should then be
extended to its full length for optimum transmission performance. The beacon should be operated
in an area free of obstructions.
3.2
AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION
The beacon can be set to activate when in contact with water. To ready the beacon for this type of
operation several steps need to be taken. Warning. Do not hold beacon near face or body while
releasing the antenna. Antenna is spring loaded and deploys rapidly. First, move switch to
"ON" position. This will release the antenna. The Beacon is now in the armed position. Second,
fold the antenna to the stowed position and manually recapture with the release trigger. The
release trigger will also engage the "ON" switch and hold its position. The beacon is now ready to
be carried in a pocket or mounted in a bracket.
When the upper portion of the beacon comes in contact with water, the beacon will begin to
transmit. Transmission is confirmed by the steady red LED and followed by the audio warble and
flashing red LED. To optimize signal performance, remove beacon from pocket or bracket.
Manually release the antenna to the upright position and extend to its full length.
3.3
MANUAL ACTIVATION
The beacon can be manually activated whether in the "OFF" position or in the "armed" position.
Manually activating the beacon requires repeated movement of the "ON-OFF" switch. Warning -
Do not hold beacon near face or body while releasing the antenna. Antenna is spring loaded
and deploys rapidly.
From the "OFF" position, lift switch and move to the "ON" position. This will release the antenna
from the stowed position. Lift the switch again and move to the "OFF" then "ON" position again
