When to reprogram
The PLB should be reprogrammed in the following situations:
• Where the information is absent or needs to be changed
• Whenever there is any doubt about what is programmed into the PLB
• When the PLB is transferred to a new owner (depends on country and regulations
– sometimes only re-registration is required.)
Programming the PLB
The FPROG kit contains all parts required, including a disk-based handbook giving full
instructions for the process. These instructions are not repeated here. Service agents are
expected to have a programming kit.
IMPORTANT
The following actions must be performed when a PLB is re-programmed:
1. Verify correct programming using a message reader. See section 3.3.
2. Print a new registration form (at the PC) and pass it to the PLB owner.
3. (If applicable) Fit a new identity label to the PLB; stick the duplicate label inside the
user manual if possible, otherwise ensure it is given to the PLB owner.
