5.1.2 FLOAT FREE BRACKET FB-60

For operation of the beacon in the bracket please follow instructions 1 to 7.

It is not recommended to operate the beacon inside a life raft or under a cover

or canopy. Do NOT tie the lanyard to the ship in distress, as this will prevent the

unit to functioning if the ship sinks.

1. Remove the cotter pin from the bracket (FB-60)

2. Remove the FB-60 cover

3. Take out the EPIRB from the bracket

4. Pull the locking pin holding the main switch.

5. Move main switch to the left, to ON position. The LED indicator, located

at the top of the antenna, will start to ﬂash, indicating that the EPIRB is

operating.

6. Tie the beacon lanyard to you or to the survival craft

7. If possible keep the EPIRB in an open area, away from any metal objects

(ship construction etc.) that may limit the satellite coverage. This is espe-

cially important for Tron 60GPS, since it needs good reception to obtain a

GPS position.

NOTE: To stop transmission, move the main switch to READY position.

WARNING

The EPIRB can drop

out of the FB-60

bracket when

releasing top cover
