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™
View 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™ View 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™ View sports a digital display
that allows you to see all of the beacon’s
operational activities. The screen displays GPS
LAT/LON, operating instructions, usage tips,
transmission bursts as well as battery power.
The digital display also makes self-testing your
beacon simple and easy to understand by
visually walking you through the self test step
by step. No more relying on listening to beeps
and looking for LEDs.
The AquaLink™ View 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 60
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™ View 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.
