INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new Accusat Pocket
Series Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). The GME Accusat
Pocket MT410 and GPS equipped Accusat Pocket Pro+
MT410G are the most advanced 406 MHz digital satellite
beacons available today. Using new digital frequency
generation technology, GME have developed and approved
world wide, a new family of affordable high performance
406 MHz Personal Locator Beacons.
General
The GME MT410 and MT410G PLBs are designed for use
when life is endangered and you have no other means of
communication. The PLB can save your life and the lives of
others by leading an air, land or sea rescue to your precise
location.
PLBs are an excellent choice to provide added safety while
participating in just about any outdoor or remote area
activity. The MT410/410G beacons are fully sealed units
and will not sink if dropped into water, making them
equally suitable for use on land and many marine and
aviation applications.
A PLB is distinctively different to an EPIRB and the
requirement for either is determined by personal situation and
intended usage. Note than unlike an EPIRB, the MT410/G
PLB when activated in a maritime environment, requires
assistance to keep its antenna clear of the waters surface.
EMERGENCY BEACONS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN SITUATIONS
OF GRAVE AND IMMINENT DANGER.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly.
