How do I register my beacon?

In the U.S.. the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) handles beacon registrations. Register easily online at www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov – the fastest and recommended method.

Why is it so important for me to register my beacon?

Registering your EPIRB. ELT. or Personal Locator Beacon is required by law in the U.S. and most countries. It helps Search and Rescue teams identify you and access your travel details. speeding up response time in an emergency.

How do I know when the battery is due for replacement?

There is a battery expiration date label on every beacon.

An example of a Battery Replacement Date is 07/2010

Can 406 MHz beacons be used anywhere in the world?

Yes. 406 MHz beacons can be used anywhere in the world. including the Poles.

Unique Distress Signal

406 MHz Frequency: Both EPIRBs and PLBs transmit a distress signal on the globally recognized 406 MHz frequency. ensuring their signals are picked up by Search and Rescue Satellites (SARSAT.)
HEX ID (Unique ID): Each beacon sends a unique digital code. known as the HEX ID or Unique ID. This code is used to identify beacon registration information. including the owner. type of vessel (for EPIRBs). emergency contacts. and trip plans.

Satellite Communication and Ground Stations

Satellite Relay: Once the distress signal is detected by satellites. it is relayed to Local User Terminals (LUTs). ground stations that process the data.
Positioning: The LUT calculates the location of the distress beacon and transmits the decoded alert to the Mission Control Center (MCC.)

Rescue Operations

Investigation and Dispatch: The RCC investigates the distress alert. reaches emergency contacts. and dispatches the nearest SAR teams to the location.
Rapid Response: SAR teams are deployed quickly to the distress location. providing timely rescue operations and ensuring survivor safety.
