User's Manual

If the GNSS self test is initiated and the EPIRB has already performed 5

GNSS self tests, the indicator will flash Red for 5 seconds and then power

down. If the Grey test key is held on after the indicator has finished flashing

Red, it will then begin to rapidly flash between Red and Green to indicate that

the EPIRB power is being held on and is needlessly draining the battery

reserves.

6.3: Inspection

During the monthly EPIRB self test it is advised that the following inspection is

performed.

1) Inspect the EPIRB for obvious signs of damage – including the

state of the antenna any creases in the antenna may cause the

operation of the EPIRB to be impaired.

2) Confirm that the EPIRB is securely mounted on the bracket or in the

float free housing.

3) Inspect the lanyard to ensure it is not attached to any structures.

4) Confirm the battery is within the specified expiry date.

5) If the EPIRB is housed in a float free housing confirm the HRU is

within the specified expiry date.

6) Clean the EPIRB and mounting, it is recommended that the EPIRB

is cleaned only using a damp cloth.

Note: Other than the battery pack there are no user serviceable parts inside

the EPIRB. DO NOT OPEN THE EPIRB, DOING SO WILL INVALIDATE THE

WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE FALSE ALERTS.
