One-handed operation is possible even in harsh conditions thanks to a spring-loaded protective flap over the activation button and a retractable antenna that deploys with a gentle pull. An integrated ultra-bright strobe light maximizes your visibility to rescuers, while the built-in 66-channel GPS receiver delivers rapid, accurate position data. The PLB1 transmits your position and unique ID over the government-funded Cospas-Sarsat satellite network — the only internationally recognized dedicated search-and-rescue system — at no subscription cost. A rescue coordination center receives the alert and directs the nearest response teams to your location. An optional flotation pouch allows the unit to float; secure the PLB to the pouch with the provided lanyard using self-locking knots, noting that the PLB does not float in an operating position inside the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency: 406 MHz (Cospas-Sarsat network)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGPS receiver: 66-channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery life: 7 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperational life when activated: 24+ hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 116 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: approximately 30% smaller than comparable PLBs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof depth rating: 15 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrobe light output: high-brightness, greater than 1 candela\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntenna: retractable, deploys with a single pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivation: spring-loaded protective flap with single-button operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: unique mounting clip included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubscription charges: none — operates on the government-funded Cospas-Sarsat system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife jacket compatible (consult manufacturer instructions before attaching directly to a life jacket)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis product may not be returned to the original point of purchase.
