TIPS FOR OPTIMUM DEPLOYMENT OF AN ACTIVATED BEACON:
When activating and deploying your beacon in an emergency, DO
NOT:
// Activate the beacon if you have any other means of self rescue.
// Hold or clutch the beacon or antenna.
// Operate the beacon while hand held, if at all possible.
// Turn the beacon off for any reason, including to save power.
// Operate the beacon inside a life raft or under any other canopy or
cover.
When activating and deploying your beacon in an emergency, DO:
// Follow the steps to activate the beacon as described on the beacon or
in this manual.
// Manually activate the beacon.
// Give clear view to the sky.
// Take the EPIRB with you if abandoning ship, provided there is time to
get it.
// Tether beacon, using the lanyard, to the life raft and let the beacon float
(if in a life raft).
// Keep EPIRB upright for best signal transmission, either by floating it,
resting it or holding it in this position.
