Beacon / NavPoint Indication
BD406/PBD406 with control head:
In mission mode, which is the typical operational mode, the user has access to beacon views and
NavPoint views. The beacon view is related to the set of data received from distress beacons during a
mission.
The different data presentations of single beacon include:
• Raw 15HexID, processed data: (Protocol Type Standard/National Location, etc.), beacon
type (EPIRB, PLB, etc.), beacon serial number, TAC (Type Approval Certificate Number),
beacon position (if distress beacon has GPS functionality).
• Up to 49 received beacons can be stored in internal memory.
• Access through the rotary knob, and LEXCH / REXCH keys (details "Controls and
Indications" page 82).
• Beacon data can be removed from memory on demand. Refer to section 3 for menu
details.

Figure 6: Menu Screens - NavPoints Indication
Navigational data from beacon can be used to create NavPoint.
NavPoint is a set of navigational data (latitude, longitude, name, additional info) that can be stored in
internal memory (up to 49 records) and used to navigate to a selected target. Details see "Operation"
page 81.
Beacon / NavPoint Memory
BD406/PBD406 with control head:
• The device(s) can store up to 49 beacons and 49 NavPoints in the internal nonvolatile
memory.
• The beacon memory can be erased at start-up of the device (details "Start-Up - BD406"
page 89, and "Mission Mode" page 91).
