AquaFix™ 406 Product No. 2797.4NH
Accidents happen every day on the water, whether your boat
goes down, man overboard, or a storm has left your boat
incapacitated. On the water, an every day accident instantly
can become a life-threatening situation if you are not
prepared.
Why wait days being stranded in the hopes that someone will
find you? Put the power in the palm of your hand with the
AquaFix™ 406 GPS PLB. Now you can turn that life-threatening
situation into a successful rescue story.
It's as easy as pushing a button, and with an internal GPS
receiver (P/N 2797.4 only), the AquaFix™ will acquire your
GPS position and transmit it along with your personalized
identifier code through the SARSAT satellites instantly
alerting SAR forces that you need help, immediately!
The AquaFix™ works fast, if GPS data is present in the
beacon's first burst, SAR forces can be notified and start
planning your rescue in as little as three minutes.
Be Responsible, Be Prepared, Be Safe.
