Item Description
Accidents happen every day in the outdoors, whether you fall out of a tree stand, break a leg during a hike, or roll over on an ATV. In the outdoors, an every day accident instantly can become a life threatening situation, and rescues may take days or weeks if you're not prepared.
Put the power in the palm of your hand with the ACR MicroFix 406 Personal Locator Beacon. Now you can turn that life threatening situation into a successful rescue story.
With an internal GPS receiver the MicroFix will acquire your GPS position and transmit it, along with your personalized indentifier code, through the SARSAT satellites, instantly alerting Search and Rescue forces that you need help, immediately!
- Transmits on 406 MHz via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system with your registered, unique, digitally coded distress signal and 121.5 MHz (SAR homing frequency).
- Onboard 12 channel parallel GPS acquires, then transmits, LAT/LON when the unit is activated - dramatically saving valuable time for your distress message to reach local rescue centers and providing rescue agencies with your exact position to within 110 yards (100 meters).
- Smallest and most functional PLB available; can be easily carried in a pack or pocket; small enough to be worn by skiers, hikers, hunters, kayakers, climbers, pilots, snowmobilers or any other outdoor enthusiast.
- Lanyard and removable holster provide functionality and allow for multiple mounting options on backpack, belt, webbing, and life vest.
- Full functional self test of internal circuitry, battery voltage & power, 406 MHz transmission, and GPS acquisition.
- Flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around the unit for easy stowage; and is ready for rapid deployment.
- Exceeds RTCM waterproof requirements.
