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.
