APPENDIX C REGISTERING ELT/PLB
When testing ELTs and PLBs operating on the COSPAS SARSAT system it is important to make
sure that the unit is properly registered with the country’s search coordinating organization and
should correspond with the COUNTRY that the beacon is sending to ensure timely starting of a
search when the unit is activated. Failure to properly register the unit will delay the activation
of a SAR mission until the validity of the signal can be made.
