3.6 Start-Up - BD406 without Control Head
The BD406 without control head has no display and no on/off switch.

It can be an external switch to power-on the device or a permanent connection of
the dedicated pins.
• After power-on, the device starts a self-test (PBIT).
• The device resets the beacon database.
• The device activates target status interface and is ready to detect distress signals.
o Status of received distress messages can be monitored by serial target status
interface.
o The received messages and processed additional data are visible continuously as
broadcasted frames.
o When a new message is received, after integrity check, the content is presented at
target status interface.
Each restart (power-on/off) of the remote-controlled BD406 results in automatic
reset of the beacon database. All received distress messages are erased from
