Marking a vessel name
In case of loss and to aid in its quick recovery, we recommend marking the EPIRB with your
vessel name and/or ownership details. A set of alpha-numeric stick-on letters are provided,
these can be stuck on the rear label area.
Dealing with a transmitting EPIRB
In the unlikely event that the EPIRB develops a fault and will not turn off, transmissions can
be prevented from reaching the satellite by cutting off the antenna close to its base. The
EPIRB should then be wrapped in metal foil or placed in a sealed metal container or steel
locker.
Take care when handling the antenna, refer to product safety warnings.

Contact the authorities to notify them of the false alert

Leave the EPIRB for 3 days or until the battery has fully run down before having the
