Turning off the beacon

To deactivate your beacon; depress the ON/OFF button

for more than 3 seconds. Once the beacon is deactivated,

all blinking LED lights will stop, signifying that the beacon

is no longer sending your distress message.

If deactivation should fail, try again before removing the 2

screws holding the unit together and unplugging the

battery to disable the unit. Return the beacon to ACR

Electronics for service.

NOTE: Leave beacon on until rescued. Turning beacon off

will prolong or prevent rescue. Repeated activations could

be viewed as a hoax.

5. Turning Your Beacon Off

Post Rescue Follow Up

Hopefully you are never put in the situation

where you have to activate your beacon to be

rescued, however, should you activate your

beacon in an emergency that requires Search

and Rescue assistance, please contact ACR

Electronics in the days that follow.

It is important for us to learn the nature of

your emergency, how the beacon performed

so that we can continue to build the world’s

best life saving equipment.

Real life activations and how people use our

beacons in these situations plays a major role

in designing and manufacturing our products.

We also like to share these rescues with

others in an effort to promote proper use of

Personal Locator Beacons.

Follow Ups by visiting our Survivor Club at
