User's Manual

Important: While self-testing keep your fingers away from the top of the PLB as the

close proximity of any objects can affect the results of the self-test.

If the self-test still fails, repeat it and if the problem persists remove the PLB from use

and contact your service dealer for advice.

Getting the best from the PLB

General use

Once activated, position the PLB so that the antenna is pointing straight up towards

the sky so that it has the best all-around view of the sky. The position of the COSPAS-

SARSAT satellites can affect when an alert signal is received. Careful positioning so

that the maximum amount of sky is in view will produce the optimum performance.

Get the best from GPS PLBs

Position the PLB so that the antenna is pointing skyward and the GPS zone is

clear of any obstructions.

Do not obstruct the area marked GPS Zone on top of the PLB

The PLB should be positioned to have the clearest possible view of the sky,

obstructions such as tree cover, deep canyons, ravines, caves, overhangs and

shadowing objects can block out the view of GPS satellites and may inhibit GPS

signals from reaching the PLB.
