Ocean Signal Personal Locator Beacon - Rescueme PLB1, Pre-Programmed for Australia Registration
Ocean Signal Personal Locator Beacon - Rescueme PLB1, Pre-Programmed for Australia Registration
- This Personal Locator Beacon is pre-programmed for registration with the Australian country code. Whilst it will function anywhere around the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the Australian Search and Rescue authorities with whom the PLB will be registered.
- Should you require registration outside of Australia, please purchase our alternative listing for ‘Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 - Programmed for Rest of World’ and advise us after your purchase of you required country for registration. We include at no charge a reprogramming service on this alternative listing to ensure the device can be registered in the country of your choice
- Registering your Personal Locator Beacon is required by law in most countries. Registering is very important because should your beacon ever be activated, it is how Search and Rescue Teams will know who you are, and contacts provided may be able to supply information about your specific travel plans. In the absence of this information, it may take longer for a search-and-rescue operation to begin.
- Please note that PLBs will not work underwater and should be used in a canister if you intend to carry at a depth exceeding the maximum depth stated in the technical specification.
- This PLB should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger to life. False alerts endanger lives and cause expensive disruption to Search and Rescue services. Deliberate misuse of the device could result in a penalty.
The ultra-compact rescueME PLB1 can be easily fitted into your lifejacket or onto a belt taking up minimal space and ensuring it is readily accessible.
Wherever you are, at sea, on land, the rescueME PLB1 provides the reassurance that global emergency services can be alerted by the press of a button. The rescueMe PLB1 can be operated with a single hand in even the most challenging situations. A simple spring-loaded flap covers the activation button preventing inadvertent use.
rescueME PLB1 works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat). As this is funded by governments there are NO CHARGES to use this service.
When activated the rescueME PLB1 transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services nearest to your are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location to assist prompt rescue.
