User Guide

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
26,800 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
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 into the same field-tested rescue
technology used by the U.S. Military, U.S.
Coast Guard, NATO Special Forces and Arctic
explorers.

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
