WARNING

THE OWNER OF THIS 406MHz EPIRB MUST REGISTER IT WITH THE

APPROPRIATE NATIONAL AUTHORITY.

FAILURE TO REGISTER THIS EPIRB MAY RESULT IN A FINE,

SLOWING THE RESCUE PROCESS OR EVEN LOSS OF LIFE.

All 406MHz EPIRBs are programmed with a unique identity number (UIN),

which is based upon the country of registration. This is normally the country to

which the vessel is flagged. Registration provides the Search and Rescue

authorities with the correct emergency contact details, which will speed up the

rescue process.

Once registration has been performed you should receive a “decal” sticker

which must be affixed to the area on the EPIRB marked “Attach proof of

registration in this area”. This decal is your proof of registration.
