1. Check the antenna tip and spring for any signs of damage or corrosion. If antenna has been
bent during storage, it is normal for it to maintain a slight bend. This will not effect
performance.
2. Check the antenna for any signs of chafing, wear, cracks, or other damage, and signs of
resultant corrosion beneath the covering.
3. Check the antenna socket at the cap surface for any sign of looseness or corrosion.
4. Check the Beacon housing for signs of damage or mishandling. Dents, or damage to the top
end could result in an operational malfunction during an emergency.
5. If unit has been submerged or sprayed with salt water, it should be thoroughly rinsed with
fresh water. Including extending and collapsing antenna several times while submerged in
fresh water to purge any salt water.

PERIODIC OPERATIONAL CHECK
1. To ensure continued reliability, the unit should be checked for operation at least once every 90
(ninety) days, following the procedure of Section 5.2.
2. Do not use cleaners or petroleum distillates.

SECTION 5 - TESTING
5.1
GENERAL
The following paragraphs detail the Beacon testing procedures.
Note - Read the entire test procedure before testing.
5.2
OPERATIONAL TESTING
The Beacon can be tested by turning it "ON". The test consists of the following steps:
1. The beacon can be manually activated whether in the "OFF" position or in the "armed"
position. Manually activating the beacon requires repeated movement of the "ON-OFF"
switch. Warning - Do not hold beacon near face or body while releasing the antenna.
Antenna is spring loaded and deploys rapidly.
2. Red LED indicator will illuminate continuously for 5 (five) seconds, indicating a functional
battery. After the 5 (five) seconds, the LED will blink, confirming RF signal transmission, and
an audible warble will sound, confirming RF signal transmission.
NOTE: Tests of more than 5 (five) second duration must be conducted at designated times and
duration unless special arrangements are made with the USCG, FCC and/or local FAA authorities.
Operational transmission testing may be executed only during the first five (5) minute period of
any hour and only for three tone sweeps or one operational transmission (LED light
flashing/audio warble) second, of the audio modulating whichever is longer.
