ACR GlobalFix PRO 406 MHz GPS EPIRB Cat I - High Efficiency Electronics

Global fix pro 406 megahertz category i gps emergency position indicating radio beacon. New features: send i'm ok messages. Increase the functionality of your beacon with optional 406link.Com non-emergency messaging service. Head offshore with confidence. With three levels of integrated signal technology - gps positioning, a powerful 406 megahertz signal and 121.5 megahertz homing capability - the global fix pro quickly and accurately relays your position to a worldwide network of search and rescue satellites, reducing search time and increasing your chances of survival. It's reliable signaling technology that has saved more than 25,000 lives since 1982.The global fix pro broadcasts a unique registered distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are, but who you are. The internal gps will automatically turn on and acquire your position upon activation and then utilizes a powerful 406 megahertz signal to relay your distress call to orbiting satellites. As local search and rescue is deployed, a separate homing signal and integrated led strobe light guide rescuers to your exact location. The global fix pro is small and rugged and comes with over 53 years of life saving technology built into every one. Performing a full functional self test of the global fix pro internal circuitry, battery voltage & power, and 406 megahertz transmission gives you the peace of mind knowing your epirb will work the moment you need it to the most. Acr exclusive: built-in gps acquisition test mode allows you to test the internal gps receiver to ensure its working properly. Tap in to the same field-tested rescue technology used by the u.S. Military, coast guard, nato, special forces and arctic explorers. Features: high efficiency electronics. Ergonomic, compact design. Highly visible one candella led strobe. Marine tough design for years of useful service. Internal gps capability. Non-hazmat battery. Made in the usa. Lead free. It is mandatory that you register your epirb. It's fast, easy and freewww.Beaconregistration.Noaa.Gov. When activated, the unique identification code in your epirb is linked to the registration database. This way authorities can retrieve valuable information about you and your trip. The global fix pro is a satellite signaling device of last resort, for use when all other means of self rescue have been exhausted, where the situation is grave and imminent loss of life, limb, eyesight or valuable property will occur without assistance.
