GlobalFix Pro 406 MHz Category II GPS Emergency Position Indicating Radio BeaconHead offshore with confidence. With three levels of integrated signal
technology - GPS positioning, a powerful 406 MHz signal and 121.5 MHz
homing capability - the GlobalFix PRO quickly and accurately relays
your position
to a worldwide network of Search and Rescue
satellites, reducing search time and increasing your chances of
survival. It's reliable signaling technology that has saved more than
25,000 lives since 1982.
The GlobalFix PRO broadcasts a unique
registered distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are,
but who you are. The internal GPS will automatically turn on and
acquire your position upon activation and
then utilizes a powerful
406 MHz signal to relay your distress call to orbiting satellites. As
local Search and Rescue is deployed, a seperate homing signal and
integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to your exact location.
The
GlobalFix PRO is small and rugged and comes with over 53 years of life
saving technology built into every one. Performing a full functional
self test of the GlobalFix PRO internal circuitry, battery voltage
& power,

knowing your EPIRB will work the moment you need it to the most. ACR
Exclusive: Built-in GPS acquisition test mode allows you to test the
internal GPS receiver to ensure its working properly.
