This Personal Locator Beacon is pre-programmed for registration with the Australian country code. Whilst it will function anywhere around the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the Australian Search and Rescue authorities with whom the PLB will be registered.
Should you require registration outside of Australia, please purchase our alternative listing for ‘Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 - Programmed for Rest of World’ and advise us after your purchase of you required country for registration. We include at no charge a reprogramming service on this alternative listing to ensure the device can be registered in the country of your choice
Registering your Personal Locator Beacon is required by law in most countries. Registering is very important because should your beacon ever be activated, it is how Search and Rescue Teams will know who you are, and contacts provided may be able to supply information about your specific travel plans. In the absence of this information, it may take longer for a search-and-rescue operation to begin.
