SECTION 3 – OPERATION
The ResQFix™ 406 GPS PLB models are designed to be manually deployed and activated. It is only to be activated
when all other means of self-rescue have been exhausted. Activation of a properly registered PLB tells Search
and Rescue who you are, where you are, and that you are facing a life threatening situation.
3.1 Activation
To activate your PLB in an emergency situation, unfasten the antenna from the
case and move it into the upright position (See Figure 2). Depress the ON
button 1 full second. Your PLB is now activated. While transmitting your
emergency signal, the red LED will flash once every 2 seconds alerting you that
your PLB is transmitting.
