Deactivation
To deactivate your PLB after use or if it is accidentally
activated, press the ON key for one second until the
indicator LED flashes red twice, then release. Rewind the
antenna using the knob on the top of the PLB.
Do not push the antenna back into the PLB as this
may cause it to be damaged.
3.3
False Alerts
False alerts cause the rescue authorities unnecessary time
and expense. To avoid false alerts make sure your PLB is
safely stowed with the protective cover closed and the
antenna fully wound in. Make sure that there is no excessive
pressure applied to the protective cover. Ensure that
anybody carrying the PLB is fully aware that this device is for
emergencies and should only be used in situations of grave
and imminent danger.
If you accidentally activate your beacon or otherwise set it off when a rescue is not
required, contact your local emergency services as soon as possible and advise them of
your beacon’s 15 digit HEX code (UIN), your current location and the time the beacon was
first activated.
The UIN is printed on the label on the rear of the PLB.
