INTRODUCTION
The FastFind Return Link is a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) that receives a Return Link Message
(RLM) to give you the reassurance of a last resort safeguard against any life threatening incidents
that may occur anywhere in the world. If you find yourself in a remote area without any other form
of emergency communication, on land or at sea, your FastFind Return Link
can call for help and let
you know that you have been detected and located.
When triggered, the FastFind Return Link
transmits a unique serialized ID to the
Cospas-Sarsat satellite system which can
pinpoint your location anywhere on the
earth's surface. This is typically within
minutes, but can be longer depending on
satellite
coverage.
The
Rescue
Coordination Centre (RCC) then forwards
the details of the emergency to the
appropriate local Search And Rescue
(SAR) services.
Waterproof and fully submersible to 10 meters, the FastFind Return Link features an inbuilt GPS and
GALILEO receiver that can pinpoint your location within a few meters and decode RLMs (see page 41).
Dense tree cover or a steep-sided canyon can sometimes make it difficult for the GPS-GALILEO to
obtain a position fix and the RLM. If this is the case, the satellites will still be able to pinpoint your
approximate location and the unit’s secondary homing transmitter enables SAR teams to home in on
your exact location once they are in the vicinity. The unit also features a flashing SOS light which can
be used to attract attention.
The lithium power cell offers a minimum 24 hours continuous operation and a 5-year battery
replacement period.
Please take time to read this manual fully before using the FastFind Return Link as it contains
important information regarding the correct use and maintenance of the product.
