What is an EPIRB: An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is a life-saving marine distress beacon that, when activated, sends an SOS with your GPS position to Search & Rescue via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system—no subscription fees. GLOBAL SATELLITE SOS + LOCAL AIS ALERTING: Transmits a 406 MHz MEOSAR distress signal for worldwide satellite alerting and an AIS emergency message so nearby AIS-equipped vessels can see your distress on their chartplotter immediately—subscription-free safety. RETURN LINK SERVICE (RLS) CONFIRMATION: RLS gives a clear visual acknowledgement that your SOS has been received by the satellite network, providing confidence that help is being notified even when you have zero mobile coverage—no monthly plan required. MANUAL RELEASE BRACKET (CAT 2): Supplied with a Category 2 manual release mounting bracket for quick grab-and-go deployment. Activate the EPIRB by hand in an emergency—ideal for day boats, coastal cruising, and vessels where float-free auto release isn’t required. GPS POSITIONING + 121.5 MHz HOMING + APP SUPPORT: Built-in GNSS provides fast, accurate coordinates, while 121.5 MHz homing helps SAR pinpoint you in the final search; mobile app makes self-tests and status checks simple—no subscription and no ongoing fees.
