Attachment Clip

NOTE: ACR recommends that once you have clipped your beacon in place that you also anchor the beacon with the lanyard to your life jacket, backpack, etc. to ensure the unit will not be lost if it should break out of the clip.

2.Attachment Clip

The AquaLink™ comes standard with an attachment clip. To install the clip, simply align the bottom tabs on the clip with the insert holes located on the bottom of the beacon. Snap the clip in place by pressing the top of the clip so that the two top tabs engage in the two insert holes on the top of the beacon (see Figure 6). To remove the clip, push up and back on the top tabs one at a time to disengage from the beacon.

This clip has been designed to secure your beacon directly to life jacket webbing straps or belts to ensure the beacon is close at hand. ACR recommends that you have a strap on your life jacket in the shoulder area for attachment of the PLB. The beacon should hang with the GPS receiver up (so that the beacon is inverted). This will give the GPS receiver the best possible view of the sky. It is also recommended that you try your life jacket on in the water to see how you float in it and where to best locate the beacon so

that the beacon is not in the water. You may choose to carry your beacon in a pocket but you should have a strap installed on your life jacket to attach the beacon when it is activated. This will leave your hands free while treading water.

NOTE: ACR recommends that once you have clipped your beacon in place that you also secure the beacon with the lanyard to your life jacket, backpack, etc. to ensure the unit will not be lost if it should break out of the clip.
