Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 Personal Locator Beacon w/7-Year Battery Life [730S-05212]

rescueME PLB1 Personal Locator Beacon with 7-Year Battery Life

The world's most compact PLB. Proudly engineered and manufactured in the UK. 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. The integrated ultra-bright strobe light ensures maximum visibility, and antenna deployment could not be easier; with a gentle pull, the aerial is released.

The 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 Personal Locator Beacon transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services nearest to you are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location to assist with a prompt rescue.

The rescueME PLB1 has an optional flotation pouch**  to enable it to float.  Please note that the PLB will not float in an operating position in the pouch.  Please ensure the PLB is firmly attached to the pouch with the provided lanyard, using suitable self-locking knots.
