  • GPS interface-optical data Interface via infrared diode (NMEA 0183): New, flashing LED in GPS interface confirms data transmission from GPS; downloaded GPS coordinates confirmed by flashing LEDs within three seconds of completing self-test sequence
  • Patented proprietary electronics package for faster, more stable 406 frequency transmission; full functional self-test including battery voltage and internal circuitry
  • Fully enclosed, high density, UV stabilized polyethylene bracket hydrostatic release
  • Automatically deploys EPIRB if vessel sinks to approximately 13 ft (4 m)
  • Fastest means available of delivering GPS position
  • Field programmable – built-in vessel code can be reprogrammed by an ACR Authorized Service Center worldwide (Maritime/Serialized/Radio Call Sign/MID Protocols, Country Code, etc.)
  • Lanyard coil retained with all around cover for non-tangling deployment
  • Universal usage illustrations; English and French languages
  • World’s smallest 406 MHz EPIRB that meets all regulations and is fully approved worldwide
  • Built-in strobe for enhanced location in poor visibility conditions
  • Single, three-position switch for easy test and operation. Steady green LED indicates unit has passed full functional test, flashing red LED indicates unit is "ON"
  • Transmits on 406 MHz (COSPAS-SARSAT) with your registered, digitally-coded distress signal, and 121.5 MHz (SAR homing frequency)
  • Can be manually activated; self-buoyant – no external float collar to lose
  • Exclusive, polycarbonate blend designed for maximum resistance to UV and chemicals; maximum durability when exposed to extreme temperatures or shock
  • 5-year limited warranty
  • 5-year replacement life (11-year useful life) lithium battery
  • Operating life – 48 hours @ -40ºC (-40ºF)
