6.3 Dealing with a transmitting EPIRB
In the unlikely event that your EPIRB develops a fault and will not turn off, then
prevent its radio signal from reaching the satellite using one of the following methods:
• Cut off or fold down the antenna. Wrap the EPIRB in metal foil and take
it below decks.
or
• Cut off or fold down the antenna and place the EPIRB in a metal
container or locker.
Take care when dealing with the antenna. Handle the antenna as little as
possible. Refer to Section 1 for warnings.
Leave the EPIRB in this condition for 3 days until its battery is dead, then refer to
section 10.5 for instructions on returning the EPIRB for servicing. See also section 7.
