The EPIRB is designed for best operation whilst floating in water. If used in
other situations ensure that the EPIRB is placed in the open, clear of any
cover and kept upright. Do not place the EPIRB close to large structures or
under cover.
In the case of abandoning ship, if possible, recover the EPIRB and tie to the
survival craft, or person using the lanyard.
For optimum operation, it is recommended that the EPIRB be tied to the raft
and floated in the water.
