8. REGISTRATION
Note: regulations regarding registration and use of distress beacon vary from nation to nation. Make sure you are
aware of the appropriate local regulations.
Each beacon is programmed with a unique 15 digit Hexadecimal identity number (ID). This number is to be found in
the ID field of the beacon label. The owner of the beacon must register its beacon with the national authorities who
will supply the form necessary for its registration.
The beacon must be re-registered when changing ownership and / or ship (See page 35).
Safelink beacon is coded in compliance with COSPAS-SARSAT serialized protocol or with coding protocol applicable
with the country of registration (See page
Register for your SAFELINK five year warranty and access to all your beacon information: battery life, next service
date, unique ID... Go to www.manageyourbeacon.com.
8.1. Importance of accurate registration
When you activate your EPIRB in an emergency, the nearest maritime search and rescue coordination center
(MRCC) will receive the message and decode the country code. They will then access the registration database for
that country and expect to find details of your vessel, its radio equipment and who to contact. If they fail to find this
information, this may slow down any rescue.
