Easily stored in a pack or a pocket, this is the smallest, lightest Personal Locator Beacon on the market—plus it has an internal GPS!
- Smaller and lighter than the Terrafix, this PLB is designed for fast and easy deployment in a range of uses and conditions
- Includes GPS coordinates in the emergency satellite transmission via the onboard, internal GPS for greater position accuracy
- The 406 MHz transmission of the activated PLB sends a personalized, coded signal that uniquely identifies your beacon
- Personalized signal tells Search and Rescue (SAR): who you are, where you are and that you are in a life-threatening situation
- The COSPAS-SARSAT satellites that receive the PLB signal encircle the globe, allowing you to signal for help from anywhere on the planet
- Signal is matched to the beacon-owner's data, providing rescuers with the user's name, address and contact phone number
- Owner's data may also provide other important information such as any medical condition that rescuers may need to be aware of
- Made to meet the rigorous testing standards of COSPAS-SARSAT, FCC, NOAA and the U.S. Air Force Rescue Coordination Center
- Once within the 1-mile search radius, the PLB also transmits a homing signal, allowing SAR to pinpoint the PLB's exact location
- ACR Electronics Microfix is covered by a five-year warranty; operates on two lithium batteries with five-year shelf lives before initial use
- Batteries will operate 24 hours once activated
- Comes standard with a sturdy plastic holster to attach the PLB to backpack webbing, PFDs, belts and climbing harnesses
- Case and instruction label are oil-, water- and UV- resistant, with non-corroding metal components
- Internal power source is designed to work when all else has failed
This Personal Locator Beacon should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger, and only as a last resort when all means of self-rescue have been exhausted.
Made in USA.
