If a LifeTag alarm is canceled from another SeaTalk product, this will cancel the entire MOB event, so that all
displayed MOB information, including the MOB waypoint, will be removed.
This occurs only with compatible products on SeaTalk systems. It does NOT occur on other products
connected via NMEA0183.
If the LifeTag Base Station is connected to a SeaTalk system which includes a SeaTalk chartplotter and GPS, and a
LifeTag alarm occurs, a MOB marker will be displayed on the chartplotter at the location of the boat when the
alarm is activated. In addition, the chartplotter and compatible SeaTalk instruments (such as ST60+ and ST290
Graphic instruments) will display a dedicated MOB alarm page.
When an alarm condition exists, the Base Station optional switched output provides 12 V as a switching
voltage, for external equipment, until the alarm is silenced.
1. Silence the alarm, as described above.
2. Release the Tag button, then wait for at least
15 seconds.
3. Hold in the Tag button for a further 5 seconds.

After an alarm, when the MOB incident has been resolved, ensure all Tags are active,
by checking that the indicator on each Tag flashes green once every 10 seconds.
Important: The accuracy of the recorded position of the MOB event is dependent on boat speed, tide, wind
speed etc, so you should take this into account when locating the man overboard.
