5. Activating your beacon
WARNING: This transmitter is authorized for use only during
situations of grave and imminent danger. Deliberate misuse may incur
a severe penalty.
Overview
Personal Locator Beacons are designed to be manually activated. They
are only to be activated when all other means of self-rescue have been
exhausted. When properly registered as required, the activation of the
beacon tells Search and Rescue who you are, where you are, and that
you are facing a life threatening situation.
