When the EPIRB is first switched ON the strobe light will start to flash immediately. The first
alert transmission is made after 50 seconds. This short delay allows time to slide the switch
back to the OFF position if the EPIRB was activated in error and before the first emergency
alert transmission is sent.

While the red LED remains ON continuously, the EPIRB is activated but has not yet
made an emergency alert transmission.
Strobe light
Four high intensity LEDs flash simultaneously to produce the strobe light zone, this provides
a visual means of locating the EPIRB. It will start flashing immediately after the EPIRB is
switched ON. Its flashing will pause for a short time when each 406 MHz alert transmission
is sent, which is once every 50 seconds.
Strobe light (EPIRB ON)
1 flash every 3 seconds, pause every 50 seconds
Red LED (indicator)
The red LED illuminates when the EPIRB is first switched ON and will start to flash slowly
once the first transmissions are made.
121.5 MHz transmission is taking place whenever the Red LED is flashing alternately with
the high intensity LED.
Every 50 seconds, the red LED will flash rapidly followed by a single long flash to indicate
each 406 MHz transmission.
Green LED (GPS version only)
The green LED flashes alternately with the strobe, to indicate that a valid position has been
obtained by the GPS receiver. Every 50 seconds it illuminates for 2 seconds to indicate that
the position is being transmitted on 406MHz.
Every 20 minutes the GPS receiver updates its position information. If a fix is not obtained,
the green LED stops flashing, and illuminates only every 50 seconds, when the previous
position information is transmitted.
Deactivation
Should the EPIRB be activated by mistake or if the emergency ends then the EPIRB can be
turned OFF by sliding the activation switch fully to the right. The high intensity LED will stop
flashing and the red LED will go out.
