MANUAL OPERATION AND ACTIVATION

It is not recommended to operate the beacon inside a life raft or under a cover

or canopy. Do NOT tie the lanyard to the ship in distress, as this will prevent the

unit to functioning if the ship sinks.

1. Remove the locking pin from bracket cover

2. Remove the cover

3. Take out the EPIRB from the bracket

4. Break the seal and pull the locking pin holding the main activator switch

5. Push slider to move switch to ON position (the switch is spring-loaded and will

automatically go to the ON position)

6. Tie the beacon lanyard to you or to the survival craft

7. The strobe light, located at the top of the EPIRB, will start ﬂashing indicating

that the EPIRB is operating

If possible keep the EPIRB in an open area, away from any metal objects (ship

construction etc.) that may limit the satellite coverage. Transmission can be

stopped by turning the switch to READY position and take it out of the water.
