Turning the EPIRB off
Should the EPIRB be activated by mistake or if the emergency ends then the EPIRB can
be turned OFF by sliding the activation switch fully to the right.
After water activation, dry the sea switch contacts and wait about 8 seconds for the
automatic sea switch to de-activate.
The strobe light will stop flashing and the red LED will go out.
Important
After EPIRB activation and as soon as practical the EPIRB should be taken to a service
agent, who will fit a new switch anti-tamper tab, and check the battery condition. If the
EPIRB has been used for more than 6 hours in total, a set of fresh battery packs should
be fitted to ensure the full 48 hour operational life is still available. This is necessary to
ensure that in an emergency it will operate for the full 48 hours required by international
regulations.
