Operation instructions
Tron 40VDR is designed to be operated either manually or automatically.
The EPIRB will automatically start to transmit when immersed into water.
The Tron 40VDR has an internal safety switch which prevents inadvertent
activation through moisture and water spray when located in the bracket.
The EPIRB battery lasts for 168 hours from activation.
This EPIRB should only be used in an emergency. Should an EPIRB be used
for any other reason, the user will be held responsible.
If the hole is not visible or it is not easy to push the cotter
pin through, do not force the pin or press the cover,
remove the cover, and try again.
