6.4 Releasing Precision 406 from an enclosure
If your Precision 406 is fitted inside a full enclosure then follow the instructions below
to release it manually from its enclosure:
6.5 Manual activation
If the vessel is not sinking, but there is imminent danger, then remove the Precision
406 from its bracket and activate it manually as shown below. Note that once activated
it will flash immediately, but it will not transmit a distress call for 3 minutes. This gives
you a chance to turn it off if you activated it in error.
Once activated the Precision 406
must
have its antenna near upright and it must have
a clear view of the sky for proper operation. Lying it on its side or placing it next to a
metal wall will impair its range and may fail to alert the rescue services. Avoid handling
the antenna, as this will also impair performance.
