6.6 Deactivation
If the G4 was activated by mistake or if the emergency ends then the G4 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 G4 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 G4
6.8.1 Refitting into wall bracket
The G4 is now in its “ready” state, but its sea switch is still armed and will activate if it
gets wet. To de-activate the G4 fully it must be returned to its mounting bracket, where
a magnet hidden in the bracket will make the G4 safe.
