WARNING
A PLB should only be activated in situations of grave and imminent
danger to life. Misuse or false activation is unlawful and could result in
a penalty
Important
PLBs are intended for use within the maritime, aviation and land
environments where permitted by national administrations. When activated,
the PLB sends an emergency alert to the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system.
The time taken for the alert to be processed is dependant upon the extent of
satellite system coverage at that time and any overhead obstruction that
could impair the signal path to the satellite. The actual time to rescue in an
emergency will be dependant upon the performance of all factors within the
SAR (Search and Rescue) system, and as such, is outside the control of
Orolia Ltd.
Applicability of this manual
This manual is applicable to the FastFind Max and MaxG PLBs. The MaxG
