6.6 Deactivation
If the Precision 406 was activated by mistake or if the emergency ends then the
Precision 406 can be reset back to its “ready” state
as follows:
•
Remove EPIRB from any water and dry its
sea switch contacts.
Wait 8 seconds for sea switch to turn off.
If EPIRB is still flashing then it must have been
turned on manually:
•
Slide the switch cover fully to the right.
•
Press and release READY button.
If EPIRB is still flashing then it has a fault.
Refer to section 7 on False Alarms
.
6.7 Battery condition
If your Precision 406 has been activated for a
cumulative period in excess of 2 hours then its battery will need replacing. This is
necessary to ensure that the next time it gets used it will operate for the full 48 hours
required by government regulations. See section 11.3 for battery replacement
instructions.
6.8 Re-fitting Precision 406
6.8.1 Refitting into wall bracket
The Precision 406 is now in its “ready” state, but its sea switch is still armed and will
activate if it gets wet. To de-activate the Precision 406 fully it must be returned to its
mounting bracket, where a magnet hidden in the bracket will make the Precision 406
safe.
