TRANSPORTATION
Passenger Aircraft;
These products contain small lithium metal
batteries. They can normally be carried on
board passenger aircraft as a personal item in
carry-on baggage. McMurdo always
recommends declaring the PLB to airline staff
at check in, in the same way you would for a
laptop PC or video camera.
As air cargo;
These products contain small lithium metal
batteries. Due to the overall low level of
lithium content they are not restricted as air
cargo under IATA SP 188 - PI 970, always
check with the carrier concerned for any
additional restrictions that could apply.

that the battery is removed from the main

alerts cause expensive disruption to Search
and Rescue services and may endanger lives
