9.5 Marking vessel name

In most countries it is usual to have your EPIRB programmed by your supplier with the

vessel’s existing “callsign” (see registration section below). Your supplier will then mark

all the EPIRB labels accordingly. However, if your EPIRB was purchased in the USA,

Canada or UK then your EPIRB will have all the necessary markings except for vessel

name. In these countries it is left to the customer to mark the vessel name during

installation.

The name must be marked on the rear of the Precision 406 itself and also on the

enclosure, if you have one. Use the alpha-numeric stickers provided to mark the vessel

name (or its abbreviation) on the top line of the Precision 406's rear label and again on

the enclosure label. Protect the markings with a section of the clear sticky label

provided.

You must register your EPIRB with the appropriate authorities.

Failure to register may slow the rescue and lead to loss of life.

In the USA failure to register leads to monetary forefeit.
