ACR GlobalFix V6 Category 2 EPIRB w/Return Link Service Mobile App [2854]

The ACR GlobalFix V6 Category 2 EPIRB is an outstanding emergency radio beacon perfect for both recreational and commercial vessels. It comes with a Return Link Service and a mobile app, offering high - tech features that ensure user safety. The Return Link Service (RLS) gives users peace of mind by confirming that the distress message has been sent and received. With ACR’s Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, you can connect the beacon to your smartphone. The free ACR app then shows you important data like battery life, the number of tests completed, and activation time. This EPIRB uses GNSS (GPS, Galileo, and Glonass) to accurately get its position globally. When triggered, it sends a 406 MHz digital distress signal to the Cospas Sarsat satellite network, with position accuracy within 100 meters. Additionally, a 121.5 MHz homing signal helps rescuers find the device at the scene. It also has visual and infrared strobes to speed up rescue operations. The GlobalFix V6 is built with long - life lithium batteries, is waterproof, and buoyant. It comes with a 5 - year warranty and includes mounting hardware. Whether you're cruising coastal waters, working offshore, or crossing oceans, this EPIRB is your reliable safety partner.

Using the ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB is easy. You can activate it manually or when it's out of the bracket and gets wet. When you suspect there might be an issue with the device, use your smartphone and the free ACR app. Just place your phone near the beacon, and the app will show you the battery life, test results, and other important data. Make sure to check these regularly to ensure the device is in good working condition. Remember, the battery needs to be replaced every 10 years, either after the manufacturing date or after activation. Keep the device within the recommended temperature range: - 22°F to + 158°F for storage and - 4°F to + 131°F for operation. It's waterproof up to 33 ft for 5 minutes, but don't expose it to water longer than necessary. If you trigger the EPIRB in an emergency, the Return Link Service's flashing blue light will let you know that rescuers are aware of your situation. Also, be aware that this product can expose you to chemicals harmful in California. For more info, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
