6. Changing ownership or contact information
As the owner of the beacon, it is your responsibility to advise the national
authority of any change in the information on the registration form. If you
are transferring the beacon to a new owner, you are required to inform
the national authority. You can do this by using their online database or
by letter, fax or telephone and informing the authority of the name and
address of the new owner.
The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the national authority
with all of the information requested on the registration form. This
obligation transfers to all subsequent owners. Registration forms for the
United States are available from NOAA by calling (888) 212-7283 (212-
SAVE) or by visiting the ACR website at
www.acrartex.com . Outside of
the United States, the new owner may contact his local authority for the
necessary form(s).
7. Lost or stolen EPIRBs
If your EPIRB is lost or stolen, do the following immediately:
//Report to your local authorities that the EPIRB has been lost or stolen
//Contact NOAA at (888) 212-7283 (212-SAVE), or your national
authority, with the following information:
o Police department name
o Police department phone number
o Police case number
If your EPIRB were to be activated, the information you provided will be
forwarded to the appropriate search and rescue authorities who will
ensure that your EPIRB gets back to you. If someone attempts to register
an EPIRB reported as stolen, NOAA or your national authority will notify
the appropriate police department. Visit
www.cospas-sarsat.org for more
detailed information.
8. Servicing the SeaShelter
3
™ and the HydroFix™ HRU
The SeaShelter
3™
Category I bracket has two main pieces,
the lid and the base. To open the bracket, turn the spring
loaded knob counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn and pull. The
lid will lift away from the top of the base and disengage
from the detent at the bottom of the base. The lid is
tethered to the base to help prevent loss.
Brackets are a key part of the overall beacon system. They
hold a beacon ready for deployment while preventing false
alarms. Category I brackets also require replacement of
the Hydrostatic Release Unit every two years.
NOTE: Whenever a beacon is returned for service, it
must be accompanied by the bracket.
