FALSE ALERTS
False alerts cause the rescue authorities unnecessary time and expense. To avoid false
alerts make sure your PLB is safely stowed with the protective cover closed and the
antenna fully wound in. Make sure that there is no excessive pressure applied to the
protective cover. Ensure that anybody carrying the PLB is fully aware that this device is for
emergencies and should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger.
If you accidentally activate your beacon or otherwise set it off when a rescue is not
required, contact your local emergency services as soon as possible and advise them of
your beacon’s 15 digit HEX code (UIN), your current location and the time the beacon was
first activated.
