ACR Electronics Terrafix 406 GPS I/O Personal Locator Beacon

With an internal GPS and an external GPS optical interface, the ACR Electronics Terrafix 406 PLB gives the user unparalled versatility.

• Can include GPS coordinates in the emergency satellite transmission via a handheld GPS, using the optical interface or using the onboard, internal GPS
• FastACQ™ technology relays accurate GPS information to the satellites faster than all other internal GPS PLBs
• Comes standard with a sturdy rubber holster to attach the PLB to backpack webbing, PFDs, belts and climbing harnesses
• 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 exceed 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
• Comes complete with a 5-year lithium battery and a 5-year warranty
• Waterproof, rugged construction is buoyant to avoid loss if dropped in water
• 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.
