During automatic release the following will occur:

When the bracket reaches a water depth of 2-4 meters or 6-13
feet the EPIRB will automatically be released.

The EPIRB will then float to the surface and start transmitting.

Transmission is indicated by the flashing LED and will continue
until the EPIRB is lifted out of the water and dried off.
To stop transmission, move the main switch to the ready
position and secure the safety pin in place.
