Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine Ocean Signal part?
Yes, this is an authentic Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1, manufactured in the UK and supplied with the original mounting accessories and flotation pouch.
Does it require a monthly subscription fee?
No. Unlike satellite messengers, this PLB uses the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite system which is funded by governments and is free for users. You simply need to register the device with your national authority (e.g., the UK Beacon Registry).
Does the PLB1 float?
The unit itself is waterproof but does not float on its own. However, it is supplied with a custom flotation pouch that ensures the unit will float if dropped in the water.
Note: Registration is a legal requirement in most countries. Please ensure you register your PLB1 upon purchase to ensure rescue services have your emergency contact details. 4boats.co.uk ships units programmed for the UK/EU region as standard.
