AquaLink™
The
attachment clip. To install the clip, simply align the
bottom tabs on the clip with the insert holes
located on the bottom of the beacon. Snap the
clip in place by pressing the top of the clip so that
the two top tabs engage in the two insert holes on
the top of the beacon (see Figure 6). To remove
the clip, push up and back on the top tabs one at
a time to disengage from the beacon.
This clip has been designed to secure your
beacon directly to life jacket webbing straps or
belts to ensure the beacon is close at hand. ACR
recommends that you have a strap on your life
jacket in the shoulder area for attachment of the
PLB. The beacon should hang with the GPS
receiver up (so that the beacon is inverted). This
will give the GPS receiver the best possible view
of the sky. It is also recommended that you try
your life jacket on in the water to see how you
float in it and where to best locate the beacon so that the beacon is not in
the water. You may choose to carry your beacon in a pocket but you
should have a strap installed on your life jacket to attach the beacon
when it is activated. This will leave your hands free while treading water.
NOTE: ACR recommends that once you have clipped your beacon in
place that you also secure the beacon with the lanyard to your life
jacket, backpack, etc. to ensure the unit will not be lost if it should
break out of the clip.
