Manual
Turning off the beacon 
To deactivate your beacon; depress the ON/OFF button 
for more than 3 seconds. Once the beacon is deactivated, 
all blinking LED lights will stop, signifying that the beacon 
is no longer sending your distress message. 
If deactivation should fail, try again before removing the 2 
screws holding the unit together and unplugging the 
battery to disable the unit. Return the beacon to ACR 
Electronics for service. 
NOTE: Leave beacon on until rescued. Turning beacon off 
will prolong or prevent rescue. Repeated activations could 
be viewed as a hoax.

5. Turning Your Beacon Off 
Post Rescue Follow Up 
Hopefully you are never put in the situation 
where you have to activate your beacon to be 
rescued, however, should you activate your 
beacon in an emergency that requires Search 
and Rescue assistance, please contact ACR 
Electronics in the days that follow. 
It is important for us to learn the nature of 
your emergency, how the beacon performed 
so that we can continue to build the world’s 
best life saving equipment. 
Real life activations and how people use our 
beacons in these situations plays a major role 
in designing and manufacturing our products. 
We also like to share these rescues with 
others in an effort to promote proper use of 
Personal Locator Beacons.
