Specification Sheet

Head offshore with confidence. With three
levels of integrated signal technology — GPS
positioning, a powerful 406 MHz signal, and
121.5 MHz homing capability — the AquaLink™
quickly and accurately relays your position to
a worldwide network of Search and Rescue
satellites, reducing search time and increasing
your chances of survival. It’s reliable signaling
technology that has saved more than 30,000
lives since 1982.
The AquaLink™ broadcasts a unique
registered distress signal that not only tells
rescuers where you are, but who you are. The
onboard GPS can fix your position to within
100 meters and then utilizes a powerful 406
MHz signal to relay your distress call to
orbiting satellites. As local Search and Rescue
is deployed, a separate homing signal and
integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to
your exact location.
The AquaLink™ is small enough to be easily
carried in a pack or pocket or can be worn
on deck, at the helm, in quarters or on a life
vest and will float if accidentally dropped
overboard. Performing a full functional self
test of the PLB’s internal circuitry, battery
voltage & power, and 406 MHz transmission
gives you peace of mind knowing your PLB
will work the moment you need it most. ACR
Exclusive: Built-in GPS acquisition test mode
allows you to test GPS functionality up to 12
times over the life of the battery.
Tap in to the same field-tested rescue
technology used by the U.S. Military, U.S.
Coast Guard, NATO Special Forces and
Arctic explorers.

It is mandatory that you register your PLB. It’s fast, easy and free www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov.
When activated, the unique identification code in your PLB is linked to the registration database. This
way authorities can retrieve valuable information about you and your trip.
The AquaLink™ is a satellite signaling device of last resort, for use when all other means of self rescue
have been exhausted, where the situation is grave and imminent loss of life, limb, eyesight, or
valuable property will occur without assistance.
