Functional test
To test your ResQLink AIS is functioning correctly, press and hold the TEST/OFF Key. The LED will
illuminate red
to indicate the key has been pressed, then start flashing. Release the TEST Key
now. After a short pause the strobe
will flash and the indicator LED will produce a flash
sequence.
The flash sequence indicates the total number of hours that the battery has already been in use, up to
the time that the test was initiated.

!
Because this test transmits a short burst on the aircraft distress frequency of 121.5MHz,
please only carry out this test in the first 5 minutes of each hour.
!
The battery must be replaced either prior to the expiry date shown on the rear label or
after the ResQLink AIS has been activated.
!
If, during a self test, the LED flashes magenta
or amber
the ResQLink AIS may
not have sufficient energy to operate for the specified 24-hour period. Battery replace-
ment is recommended.
NOTE:
The flash sequence will be repeated after a short pause and then the ResQLink AIS
will automatically power off.
NOTE:
A single AIS transmission will occur during a Functional Test indicating “MOB
TEST” on AIS receivers within range.
