This ultra-compact and stylish 406 MHz EPIRB comes with a built-in high-accuracy GPS for enhanced position location, and a user-replaceable battery. The SafeLink EPIRB range offers two models: manual deployment bracket, and an automatic deployment housing which also includes a hydrostatic release unit. The SafeLink EPIRB is designed to operate with the COSPAS-SARSAT international search and rescue system. The unit can be activated automatically by immersion in water, or manually by following the activation instructions printed on the unit. The built-in GPS receiver ensures that an accurate position of an emergency is relayed to the rescue services. This improves the speed of recovery by updating the position of the beacon at regular intervals.
