Registration and Licensing
Each PLB has a unique 15 digit hexadecimal number printed on the programming
label on the back of the PLB (visible only when the battery pack is removed). It is also
pre-printed on the registration form, and a copy of the programming information label
is usually placed on the first page of this product user manual.
The PLB must be registered with a relevant national authority. A part completed
registration form is normally packed in with the PLB. Where required this should be
completed and sent to the relevant national administration at the address detailed on
the registration form. If your form does not have a registration address, contact your
supplier for further advice.
Annex 1. Contains further important information regarding registration of the PLB.
Registration decal
It is usual to receive confirmation after you have correctly registered the PLB. Some
administrations (USA, UK) will send you a registration decal (sticker) which must be
attached to the PLB, as shown below.

WARNING: Do not attempt to fit the decal in any other position, as this could interfere
with the battery seal or with the operation of the PLB.
Radio transmitter Licence requirements
The PLB is a radio transmitter. Some administrations require that the user holds a
valid radio licence to cover its ownership and use. Radio Licensing regulations vary
from nation to nation. Your supplier should be able to offer advice regarding any local
licensing requirements in your country of residence, or you should contact your
national communications licensing authority directly.
Note for U.S. PLB owners, A Radio Licence is not required to own or operate a PLB
within the confines of the USA.
