IntroductIon
congratulations on purchasing the SafeLink SoLo PLB. When carrying a
SafeLink SoLo you enjoy the reassurance of a last resort safeguard against life
threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world.
If you find yourself in a remote area without any other form of emergency
communication, on land or at sea, your SafeLink SoLo can call for help.
SafeLink SOLO will transmit a unique emergency identifier to the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite
system which can determine your location anywhere on the earth’s surface. In most cases
the emergency alert is received within 5 minutes of activation, but depending on satellite
coverage at the time this, can sometimes extend to 45 minutes.
SafeLink SOLO has a secondary ‘homing’ transmitter which allows SAR teams to
direction find or ‘home in’ on it once they arrive on scene. SafeLink SOLO has a storage
life of 6 years and once activated will continue to transmit emergency alerts for a
minimum of 24 hours.
