 (Click image for a larger view) | Get Found FAST with a PLB as small as a mobile telephone. Fits easily into backpacks, on lifejackets...put it just about anywhere, and get found anywhere in the world! No subscription fees are required, and weighs just 5.3 oz.
Fastfind will transmit a unique emergency message identifier through the Cospas/Sarsatsatellite system which can pinpoint your location anywhere on the earth’s surface. In most cases, the emergency alert is first received within as little as 5 minutes. Fastfind has a secondary ‘homing’ transmitter which allows Search and Rescue teams to direction find or ‘home in ’ on it once they arrive on scene. Fastfind has a storage life of 5 years, and once activated will continue to transmit emergency alerts for a minimum of 24 hours. Fastfind also has a unique, built-in SOS flash feature to aid in nighttime rescues. GPS Fastfind 210 has a built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to potentially reduce the time for SAR teams to arrive on scene. If the sky view is obscured by tree canopy or a steep-sided canyon, the GPS may take longer, or possibly fail to obtain a position fix. In this case, distress alert may be transmitted without GPS location information. RADIO LICENSE U.S. users are not required to hold a radio license for a PLB. Other national administrations may require the PLB user to be licensed, for further advice check with your dealer or contact your national communications licensing authority.

Complete the user registration form and return it to the address indicated on the form. Some countries (including USA and UK) will send the registered user a DECAL label which you are obliged to fit to the rear of the PLB as 'proof of registration'.
