When activated (step 2 above):
Following automatic self-test and a pass/fail indication
green = pass,
red = fail
the distress transmissions will always automatically begin.
The Beacon will attempt transmission even if it failed self-test.
A slowly blinking green LED indicates transmission.
A single red flash will be emitted about 1 second prior to each 406 MHz transmission.
While operating, the MicroPLB
TM
should be placed on its side on a flat surface, away
from obstructions, with the antenna pointing up towards the sky.
