Accidents happen every day in the outdoors, whether you fall out of a tree stand, break a leg during a hike, or roll over on an ATV. In the outdoors, an everyday accident instantly can become a life threatening situation, and rescues may take days or weeks if you're not prepared. Why wait days being stranded in the outdoors hoping someone will find you? Put the power in the palm of your hand with MicroFix™ 406 GPS Personal Locator Beacon.
Now you can turn that life threatening situation into a successful rescue story. It's as easy as pushing a button, and with an internal GPS receiver the MicroFix™ will acquire your GPS position and transmit it along with your personalized identifier code through the Cospas-Sarsat satellites instantly alerting Search and Rescue forces that you need help, immediately! The MicroFix™ works fast - if GPS data is present in the beacon's first transmission, SAR forces can be notified and start planning your rescue in as little as three minutes.
Be Responsible, Be Prepared, Be Safe.
