Stolen ELT’s
Things That You Need To Do:
•
Report to your local police department that the ELT has been stolen.
•
Contact NOAA at 1-888-212-SAVE (7283), or your national authority, with the
following information so your registration information can be updated with the
appropriate remarks:
- Police Department Name
- Police Phone Number
- Police Case Number
If your ELT was to activate, the information you provide will be forwarded to the
appropriate Search and Rescue Authorities who will ensure that your ELT gets back
to you. And, if someone attempts to register a ELT reported as stolen, NOAA or your
national authority will notify the appropriate Police Department.

4.2 RESPONSIBILITY
4.2.1 Responsible Use:
The Ameri-King AK-451 should only be used in situations of grave and imminent
danger! What exactly does this mean? Technically speaking you should only activate
your ELT when all other means of self rescue have been exhausted. This means you
have tried to use your cellular/satellite phone, signaling mirrors, strobe lights, or any
other safety device you may have. When all else fails and you feel your situation has
truly become extreme, ask yourself the following questions:

Am I in danger of losing life, limb, eye sight, or valuable property if I am not
rescued soon?

Am I in danger of not surviving the night or upcoming hours if not rescued soon?
If you answer yes with confidence to these questions, it is time to activate your ELT.
