Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your Kannad Marine Safelink Pro Personal Location
Beacon (PLB). When carrying a Safelink Pro, you will enjoy the reassurance of having
a PLB as a last resort safeguard against any life threatening incidents that may occur
anywhere in the world. Whether alone or in a group, on holiday or at work, enjoying
your sport or hobby, if you ever find yourself in a remote area without any other form
of emergency communication, on land, at sea or in the air the Safelink Pro PLB
comes into its own.
Once activated, the Safelink Pro transmits a unique identification signal via the
COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. Provided the PLB has a clear view of the sky its
location can be determined anywhere on the earth’s surface. Details of the PLB alert
will quickly be passed to regional SAR (search and rescue) authorities. Keeping your
PLB Registration details up to date is critical to ensure a quick and appropriate SAR
response is sent to your rescue.
The Safelink Pro PLB has an inbuilt Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation
receiver. Once activated in an emergency, GPS positional information is automatically
transmitted as part of the distress message. The inclusion of GPS based positional
information can greatly reduce the time it takes for the SAR authorities to arrive on
scene.
