Kannad Marine SOLO PLB - Manual (Page 5)

de-ActIVAtIon AFter uSe
To turn off the SafeLink SOLO, press and hold the
TEST button for several seconds until the indicator
light stops flashing.
We recommend the
antenna is re-wound
under the plastic peg.
If possible, the yellow
antenna cover should
be pushed back in place
and temporarily taped
over, to avoid accidental
pressing of the ON button.
Important
As soon as possible the PLB should be returned to
a service agent, who will fit a new antenna cover
and check the battery condition. If the PLB was
active for more than a few hours we recommend
fitting a fresh battery to ensure the full 24 hour
operational life is still available.

FLASh SoS FeAture
When the PLB is active, pressing the ON button
will cause the indicator light to flash a Morse
code SOS pattern. This can be used to attract
attention after nightfall. The SOS pattern is
repeated four times on each press.
To conserve battery life, a maximum of
30 presses are allowed, after which this feature
is disabled.

teSt button
Push and hold the SELF
TEST button very firmly
for a minimum of 2
seconds, the indicator
light will flash once to
indicate the start of the self test sequence.
After a few seconds, a good self-test will result in
the indicator light flashing a number of times in
quick succession depending on battery usage;
fresh battery self test pass
minimum usage self test pass
medium usage self test pass
no FLASh self test fail PLB requires service
The PLB will switch off automatically when the
self-test has completed.
Important
Each self-test draws small amounts of energy
from the battery pack. Unnecessary testing of
the PLB will reduce the run time of the PLB in an
emergency. On average, the PLB should only be
self tested 12 times per year, or a total of 60 times
during the 6 year battery lifetime.
