Product Description

Take the Search out of Search and Rescue

Peace of Mind For Your Family

When you’re setting out on your next boating adventure, it’s important to have the safety equipment you can count on. Designed with high-efficiency electronics that are built for performance, the GlobalFix V4 GPS Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon or EPIRB provides the only direct link to Coast Guard letting them know who you are, where you are, and that you need help.

Worldwide Search and Rescue

Should the unexpected happen, this EPIRB will relay your location to a vast network of search and rescue satellites, allowing local first responders to get you home more easily.

Advanced Satellite Testing & Messaging

The GlobalFIX V4 has two functional self-tests to monitor the beacon’s transmission, power and battery performance and GPS acquisition. Pair these tests with ACR’s 406Link, ACRs optional testing portal (available for the Americas only) and receive satellite confirmation messages directly to your cell phone or email.

This EPIRB is pre-programmed for registration with the US country code and must be registered to a vessel with a US MMSI number. Whilst it will function anywhere around the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the US Search and Rescue authorities with whom the PLB would be registered. Please note this EPIRB is not suitable for registration or use in Australia and New Zealand
If you require registration outside of the US, please purchase our alternative listing for ‘Programmed for Rest of World’. We include at no charge a reprogramming service on this alternative listing to ensure the device can be registered in the country of your choice. Please be aware that the EPIRB must be registered in the same country as the MMSI registered to the vessel.
Registering your EPIRB is mandatory in most countries. Registering is very important because should your beacon ever be activated, it is how Search and Rescue Teams will know who you are, and contacts provided may be able to supply information about your specific travel plans. In the absence of this information, it may take longer for a search-and-rescue operation to begin.
This EPIRB should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger to life. False alerts endanger lives and cause expensive disruption to Search and Rescue services. Deliberate misuse of the device could result in a penalty.
