9.5 Marking vessel name
In most countries it is usual to have your EPIRB programmed by your supplier with the
vessel’s existing “callsign” (see registration section below). Your supplier will then mark
all the EPIRB labels accordingly. However, if your EPIRB was purchased in the USA,
Canada or UK then your EPIRB will have all the necessary markings except for vessel
name. In these countries it is left to the customer to mark the vessel name during
installation.
The name must be marked on the rear of the G4 itself and also on the enclosure, if you
have one. Use the alpha-numeric stickers provided to mark the vessel name (or its
abbreviation) on the top line of the G4’s rear label and again on the enclosure label.
Protect the markings with a section of the clear sticky label provided.
You must register your EPIRB with the appropriate authorities.
Failure to register may slow the rescue and lead to loss of life.
In the USA failure to register leads to monetary forefeit.
