congratulations on purchasing your new Accusat Pocket
series Personal locator Beacon (PlB) . the GmE Accusat
Pocket mt410 and GPs equipped Accusat Pocket Pro+
mt410G are the most advanced 406 mHz digital satellite
beacons available today . using new digital frequency
generation technology, GmE have developed and approved
world wide, a new family of affordable high performance
406 mHz Personal locator Beacons
general
the GmE mt410 and mt410G PlBs are designed for use
when the safety of life is endangered and you have no
other means of communication . the PlB can save your life
and the lives of others by leading an air, land or sea rescue
to your precise location .
PlBs are an excellent choice to provide added safety while
participating in just about any outdoor or remote area
activity . the mt410/410G beacons are fully sealed units
and will not sink if dropped into water, making them
equally suitable for use on land and many marine and
aviation applications .
A PlB is distinctively different to an EPirB and the
requirement for either is determined by personal situation and
intended usage . note than unlike an EPirB, the mt410/G
PlB when activated in a maritime environment, requires
assistance to keep its antenna clear of the waters surface .
