Registration Outside the United States
In countries other than the United States, 406 MHz beacons are registered with that country's National
Authority at the time of purchase. The sales agent should assist in filling out the forms and sending to that
country's National Authority. To verify that the unit is properly programmed for that country, view the UIN label
on the side of the unit. In the event that the beacon is not programmed for the country it has been purchased
in, the sales agent, (if properly equipped) can reprogram the unit for that country.
1.7
Change of Ownership or Contact Information
It is the owner's responsibility to advise the National Authority of any change in the information on the
registration form. If the current owner of the beacon is transferring the beacon to a new owner, the current
owner is required to inform the National Authority by letter, fax or telephone, of the name and address of the
new owner. The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the National Authority with all of the
information requested on the registration form. This obligation transfers to all subsequent owners. Registration
forms are available from NOAA. Call 1 (888) 212-7283 or visit our website at www.acrelectronics.com.

SECTION 2 - FALSE ALARMS
2.1
Prevention of False Alarms
An ACR 406 MHz EPIRB can be activated by two different methods. Whether you have a Category 1 or 2;
these methods are the same.
1.
When the beacon is out of its bracket and in the water, the unit is transmitting.
2.
When the switch is moved to the on position, in or out of the bracket, the unit is transmitting.
There are a few precautions that should be taken to prevent false alarms.
•
Do not mount or transport beacon within 1 meter (3.3ft) of a magnetic source.
•
Do not store beacon outside of its bracket if it can get wet.
•
Do not mount EPIRB backwards in its bracket.
•
Do not clean beacon with a water hose and brush.
2.2
Reporting of False Alarms
Should there be, for any reason, an inadvertent activation or false alarm, it must be reported to the nearest
search and rescue authorities. The information that should be reported includes the EPIRB Unique Identifier
Number (UIN), date, time, duration and cause of activation, as well as location of beacon at the time of
activation.
