Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this PLB. When carrying it, you enjoy the reassurance of a
last resort safeguard against any life threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in
the world. If you find yourself in a remote area without any other form of emergency
communication, in the air, on land, or at sea, your PLB can call for help.
This PLB will transmit a unique emergency identifier to the COSPAS-SARSAT
satellite system, which can determine your location anywhere in the world. In most
cases a GPS-enabled PLB will send an emergency signal within 5 minutes of
activation. A non-GPS PLB typically takes up to 45 minutes, as two satellite passes
are required to 'triangulate' the position.
This PLB also has a secondary 'homing' transmitter which allows SAR teams to
direction find or 'home in' on it once they arrive on scene. The product has a storage
life of 5 years and once activated will continue to transmit for 48 hours.
