Always refer battery replacement and any other beacon service to a factory
authorized
Service Center. Find a Center near you at
http://www.acrartex.com. Battery replacement includes servicing the
beacon by replacing all o-rings, testing the water seal and the electrical
properties and doing a full functional test on the unit.
NOTE: There are no user serviceable items inside the beacon. Do not
open the beacon except to disable (in case of faulty or accidental
activation). Otherwise, always have the beacon serviced.
WARNING: Battery contains lithium
To avoid possible fire, explosion, leakage or burn hazard, do not open,
recharge, disassemble or heat beacon above +70ºC (+158ºF) or incinerate.
These products contain lithium in the battery. Various beacons may or may
not require special shipping instructions due to the lithium batteries and
changes in shipping regulations. Shipping of hazardous materials requires
special handling and documentation. MSDS sheets, along with
shipping
information, can be found on our website at

In the case of the
ResQMate™, the product contains small batteries that
are non-hazardous. However, regulations can change. Be advised that it is
best to verify the shipping requirements at the time you are preparing to
ship the unit.
4. Changing ownership or contact information
As the owner of the beacon, it is your responsibility to advise the national
authority of any change in the information on the registration form. If you
are transferring the beacon to a new owner, you are required to inform the
national authority. You can do this by using their online database or by
letter, fax or telephone and informing the authority of the name and
address of the new owner.
The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the national authority
with all of the information requested on the registration form. This obligation
transfers to all subsequent owners. The new owner may contact his local
authority for the necessary form(s).
