2) Slide and hold the Green switch to the left, then slide the Red
switch into the down position.
The EPIRB will now be operational. The strobe lights will begin to flash at a
rate of once every 2.5 seconds as soon as the unit is activated.
It is important that for best performance the EPIRB should be situated in an
upright position with a clear view of the sky and as far away from any metallic
structures as is possible.
If the EPIRB contains a GNSS receiver, ensure that the GPS antenna is not
obstructed and has a complete, unobstructed view of the sky – as indicated
on the top of the EPIRB.
A lanyard is provided to tether the EPIRB to the lifeboat or life raft to ensure
that it does not drift away. Make sure this is firmly attached.
