The Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Category 2 is the world's most compact EPIRB, engineered for mariners who want reliable 406 MHz distress signaling without the bulk. A 10-year battery life, integrated 66-channel GPS, and retractable antenna make it equally at home in a quick-release bracket, a grab-bag, or a life raft. A protective tab over the operating keys guards against accidental activation while still allowing fast, straightforward deployment when it counts.
Important: Register Your Beacon Before You Head Out
This is a 406 MHz emergency beacon. U.S. federal regulations require it to be registered with NOAA before use — and it is free.
Register online at beaconregistration.noaa.gov (fastest method). Registration links your beacon's unique ID to you, your vessel, and your emergency contacts, so the Coast Guard and search-and-rescue teams can respond faster if it is ever activated.
Registration is the owner's responsibility.
