Using the ACR ResQLink AIS GPS PLB - 450 is easy. If you want to install it in a life jacket, use the included oral inflation tube clip and a ribbon around the bladder. When the life jacket inflates, the antenna deploys and the beacon activates. If you don't want to use it with a life jacket, attach it to a belt using the webbing clip. To check the beacon's status, place your smartphone near it. The ACR Product App will open automatically, showing you battery life, test results, etc. When in distress, the beacon will send out multiple signals. The 406 MHz signal goes to the global search - and - rescue network, and the 121.5 MHz signal helps rescuers find your current location. AIS alerts nearby vessels. The strobes will light up to assist in low - visibility situations. For maintenance, keep the beacon dry. Check the battery life regularly through the app. If the battery is low after 5 years, contact the manufacturer for replacement.
