6.Changing ownership or contact information

As the owner of the beacon, it is your responsibility to advise the national authority of any change in the information on the registration form. If you are transferring the beacon to a new owner, you are required to inform the national authority. You can do this by using their online database or by letter, fax or telephone and informing the authority of the name and address of the new owner.

The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the national authority with all of the information requested on the registration form. This obligation transfers to all subsequent owners. Registration forms for the United States are available from NOAA by calling (888) 212-7283 (212-SAVE) or by visiting the ACR website at www.acrelectronics.com. Outside of the United States, the new owner may contact his local authority for the necessary form(s).

7.Lost or stolen EPIRBs

If your EPIRB is lost or stolen, do the following immediately:

//Report to your local authorities that the EPIRB has been lost or stolen

//Contact NOAA at (888) 212-7283 (212-SAVE), or your national authority, with the following information:

o Police department name

o Police department phone number o Police case number

If your EPIRB were to be activated, the information you provided will be forwarded to the appropriate search and rescue authorities who will ensure that your EPIRB gets back to you. If someone attempts to register an EPIRB reported as stolen, NOAA or your national authority will notify the appropriate police department. Visit www.cospas-sarsat.org for more detailed information.

8.Servicing the SeaShelter3™ and the HydroFix™ HRU

The SeaShelter3™ Category I bracket has two main pieces, the lid and the base. To open the bracket, turn the spring loaded knob counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn and pull. The lid will lift away from the top of the base and disengage from the detent at the bottom of the base. The lid is tethered to the base to help prevent loss.

Brackets are a key part of the overall beacon system. They hold a beacon ready for deployment while preventing false alarms. Category I brackets also require replacement of the Hydrostatic Release Unit every two years.

NOTE: Whenever a beacon is returned for service, it must be accompanied by the bracket.
