Furuno Ocean Signal EPIRB3 CAT2 Manual

Ocean Signal EPIRB3 CAT2 Manual 5608507 FNI

The Ocean Signal EPIRB3 is a 406 MHz global distress beacon designed for maritime safety. Featuring a compact design with modern technology, the EPIRB3 enhances rescue efforts by providing accurate location data to rescuers using AIS technology. Additionally, the Return Link Service (RLS) confirms the distress signal's reception, while Near Field Communication (NFC) allows monitoring of the EPIRB's battery and operational status via a smartphone application. Compliant with IMO RESOLUTION MSC.471(101) and GMDSS, the EPIRB3 ensures reliable distress signaling when every second counts.
