Getting the best from your EPIRB

Your EPIRB is designed and optimised to be used floating in the sea. However, if you

have to use it in other situations, this section provides guidance on how to get the best

from your EPIRB.

Aboard ship:

DO:

• Place the EPIRB in the open,

clear of overhangs

• Keep the EPIRB upright (hold it

if necessary)

• Switch on the EPIRB

DON’T:

• Place the EPIRB close to large

structures

• Lay the EPIRB on its side

• Place the EPIRB under cover

• Secure the EPIRB lanyard to the

vessel
