national communications licensing authority.
oVerVIeW uSer regIStrAtIon
The PLB’s unique identifier must be registered
with the national authority indicated in the white
area on the rear of the PLB. Complete the user
registration form and return it to the address
indicated on the form. Some national authorities
allow online registration, a good starting place
is the online emergency beacon registration
database called IBRD at www.406registration.
com. IBRD will not accept all registrations and
where appropriate you will be re-directed
to your national authority. Some countries
(including USA and UK) will send the registered
user a DECAL label which you are obliged to fit
to the rear of the PLB as ‘proof of registration’.
