The system reports that the 121.5 MHz homing signal is on. Search and Rescue
(SAR) personnel use this frequency when arriving close to the scene.

If this message is accompanied by a green LED flash, the GPS coordinates have been
sent. If accompanied by a red LED flash, the GPS coordinates have not been sent.

NOTE: If GPS coordinates were not sent, the system will continue to attempt to
acquire the data and add it to the 406 MHz distress signal when available. Updated
GPS coordinates are sent every twenty minutes.

The system reports recently acquired GPS coordinates. You may be able to
communicate the coordinates to SAR or other persons assisting in the rescue. The
green LED flash indicates that GPS coordinates have been sent.

Coordinates will scroll from right to left with the following information: LT: XXº
XX.XX’,N and LG: XXXº XX.XX’,W

The system alerts you that the GPS coordinates have not been acquired and therefore
have not been sent.

The system reminds you that GPS data acquisition is optimized by giving the beacon a
clear view of the sky.
