Where to Register

You must register your beacon with the national authority of your resident country. Verify that your beacon's

UIN is programmed for your resident country, regardless of where you do your adventuring. To verify the

country for which a beacon is programmed, see the label with the UIN on the back of the unit. Units that do not

have a country specified on the UIN label are programmed for the United States. If you should move to a new

country, you must register your beacon with the national authority of that country and have the UIN

reprogrammed for that country (if necessary). For a list of the national authorities in your area, please view

them at

Registration in the United States

It is your responsibility to register your 406 MHz beacon(s) that are programmed for and purchased in the

United States. The national authority that accepts registrations in the United States is the National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

There are three options by which the beacon can be registered:

A. The fastest and easiest way to register your beacon with NOAA is to use the online registration database.

B. If the internet is not accessible to you, complete the enclosed registration form. Do not confuse this with

the ACR Electronics warranty card. Mail with the pre-addressed, postage paid envelope to:

C. Faxing your registration is also acceptable. Fax the registration form to fax # +1 (301) 817-4565.

Note that the information you provide on the registration form is used only for rescue purposes. Complete and

send the registration immediately. All registration forms will be entered in the 406 MHz beacon registration

database within 48 hours of receipt.

A confirmation letter, a copy of the actual registration and a proof-of-registration decal will be mailed to you

within two weeks. When you receive these documents, please check the information carefully, then affix

the decal to your beacon in the area marked "BEACON DECAL HERE." If you do not receive confirmation

back from NOAA in the expected timeframe, call toll free +1 (888)-212-7283 for assistance.
