ACR PLB-425 ResQLink View - Floating GPS Personal Location Beacon (Model: PLB-425) - Programmed for French Recording

This Personal Locator Beacon is pre-programmed for registration with the UK country code. Whilst it will function anywhere around the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the UK Search and Rescue authorities with whom the PLB would be registered. If you require registration outside of the UK, please purchase our alternative listing for 'ACR ResQlink View - Programmed for Rest of World'. We include at no charge a reprogramming service on this alternative listing to ensure the device can be registered in the country of your choice. Registering your Personal Locator Beacon is required by law in most countries. Registering is very important because should your beacon ever be activated, it is how Search and Rescue Teams will know who you are, and contacts provided may be able to supply information about your specific travel plans. In the absence of this information, it may take longer for a search-and-rescue operation to begin. This ACR PLB operates with class 2 (non-hazmat) lithium batteries, which must be replaced every 5 years. Once the PLB has been activated the battery will typically exceeds 24 hours transmitting a GPS signal. Once you have activated your PLB, simply submit your story to ACR and send your used beacon back to them so they can have it mounted on their Wall of Fame and they'll send you a brand new beacon of equal or greater value This PLB should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger to life. False alerts endanger lives and cause expensive disruption to Search and Rescue services. Deliberate misuse of the device could result in a penalty.
