Attachment Clip
2. Attachment Clip
The AquaLink™ View comes standard with an
attachment clip. To install the clip, simply align the
bottom tabs on the clip with the insert holes located
on the bottom of the beacon. Snap the clip in place
by pressing the top of the clip so that the two top
tabs engage in the two insert holes on the top of the
beacon (see Figure 6). To remove the clip, push up
and back on the top tabs one at a time to disengage
from the beacon.
This clip has been designed to secure your beacon
directly to life jacket webbing straps or belts to
ensure the beacon is close at hand. ACR
recommends that you have a strap on your life jacket
in the shoulder area for attachment of the PLB. The
beacon should hang with the GPS receiver up (so
that the beacon is inverted). This will give the GPS
receiver the best possible view of the sky. It is also
recommended that you try your life jacket on in the
water to see how you float in it and where to best
locate the beacon so that the beacon is not in the
water. You may choose to carry your beacon in a pocket but you should have a
strap installed on your life jacket to attach the beacon when it is activated. This
will leave your hands free while treading water.
NOTE: ACR recommends that once you have clipped your beacon in
place that you also secure the beacon with the lanyard to your life
jacket, backpack, etc. to ensure the unit will not be lost if it should
break out of the clip.
