Did you know how to properly dispose of EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) and PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons)?

🔒🔦 Time to Decommission Your 406 MHz Beacon? Here’s How to Do It Right! 🔦🔒

When your beacon reaches the end of its life cycle, proper disposal is crucial! 🚫🗑️ Don’t just throw it away—here’s why:

❌ Avoid False Activations: Disposing of it incorrectly can lead to accidental activations, resulting in fines and unnecessary search efforts. SAR crews are required to respond to these signals!

🔧 Safe Disposal Steps:

Dismantle Your Beacon: Carefully take it apart.
Remove the Batteries: Don’t forget this step!
Recycle: Both the batteries and the beacon case should be recycled—NEVER put them in landfill! Lithium batteries can harm the environment. 🌎♻️
Update Your Registration: Contact the NOAA registration authority to inform them about your beacon's decommissioning. Call 1-888-212-SAVE (7283).

Let’s keep our waterways safe and responsible!
