and foreign materials from entering into the gap between the capsule and bracket. Af-
ter you release the capsule, apply the specified silicone grease (type:100946, code
no.: 001-365-040) to the capsule before reattaching it (see page 2-3).
1. Release the safety clip and remove the cover of the bracket.
2. Grasp the antenna of the capsule, then pull out it.
3. Put the capsule in an emergency bag and take it to a life raft.
Note: The wrist strap may be equipped to the capsule, depending on the time of
manufacture. The capsule can be carried by using the provided wrist strap, where
it is necessary to have both arms free, e.g. when climbing a ladder. The wrist strap
can be pulled out of the pocket and your arm can be placed through it. It is not
possible to put the wrist strap back into the pocket after usage.
4. If there is a satellite EPIRB on the life raft (excluding the capsule of the Float-free
DRU), tie its towing rope to the life raft and float it on the sea.
The satellite EPIRB activates and flashes its strobe light every three seconds. The
satellite EPIRB operates for at least 48 hours, and the satellite EPIRB transmits
the following signals.
• 406 MHz signal for distress every 50 seconds to a polar orbit satellite
• Locating signal to a stationary satellite
• 121.5 MHz signal for homing
Note: It is not required to activate the capsule of the Float-free DRU when the sat-
ellite EPIRB is in operation.
