Operation
Self-test
The PLB should be tested before setting out, but testing should be limited
to about 12 times per year to minimise the total power taken from the
battery.
Self-test should only be carried out in the first five minutes of any hour.
Open the flip-top lid. Do NOT pull off the red anti-tamper cover.
Self-test uses the OFF/Test button, located under the flexible handle of
the red anti-tamper cover on the right side as shown above.
Slide a finger under the flexible handle of the anti-tamper cover to
operate the switch. Press the switch and HOLD IT DOWN until the self-
test sequence is completed. This will take about 8 seconds. While the
button is held down and the self -test sequence is in progress the red
indicator light marked “ON” (above the switch) will illuminate.
