WARNING: This transmitter is authorized for use only during
situations of grave and imminent danger. Deliberate misuse may incur
a severe penalty.
Overview
Class 3 beacons can always be manually activated in or out of their
bracket.
The beacon and bracket are designed to allow the user to perform periodic
testing while the beacon is in its bracket.
Class 3 beacons-Manual deployment and activation
Class 3 beacons can be manually deployed by removing the beacon from
the bracket.
Once removed, the beacon can be activated by lifting the Activation Switch
to a vertical position, sliding it toward the antenna and pushing down to the
opposite side of the beacon. Activating the beacon in this manner breaks
off the Activation Witness Tab
and allows the switch to properly seat,
showing the “ ▌ “ symbol (ON).
A Class 3 beacon MANUALLY activates with the following sequence:
1.) Remove the beacon from its bracket
2.) Activation method:
// Lift the switch to a vertical position
// Slide the switch toward the antenna
// Push the switch down to the opposite side of the beacon (see
illustration below)
Class 3 Beacons - Manual Activation Without Deployment
The beacon can be manually activated while still in its bracket by placing
