The product has been designed for maximum efficiency and boasts a 10 year battery life in addition to superb operating life when activated, keeping rescue services updated with your location for longer.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ocean Signal GMDSS Suite: SafeSea EPIRB1Pro Overview\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BRNTAX6pNq4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-44\">Description:<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-45\">The rescueMe EPIRB1 Pro operates in the 406MHz satellite band. This band comprises the international distress frequencies that are constantly monitored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cospas-sarsat.int\/en\/\">Cospas-Sarsat<\/a>, the international search and rescue satellite operator, ensuring a rapid response when a signal is received, no matter where it is in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-46\">This EPIRB is fitted with a 121.5MHz homing beacon used by rescue services for close-in location of vessels in distress. In addition, the EPIRB is fitted with a high brightness LED strobe light for additional impact, especially at night. For emergency situations where a user is not physically able to reach the EPIRB in time, The EPIRB1 Pro also comes complete with a Category I Automatic Release Housing (commonly referred to as \u2018float free\u2019). This ensures that the EPIRB is automatically deployed from the bracket by the internal Hydrostatic Release Unit, and then also automatically activates and floats to the surface to send your distress message to the satellite network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-47\">The Automatic Release Housing (ARH) also includes a convenient adapter providing multiple retrofit options. Use the adapter to easily mount the ARH using the same mounting holes that were previously used for older and larger EPIRBS such as the Ocean Signal E100\/E100G, Jotron Tron 60s, and McMurdo E5\/G5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-48\">Need to upgrade to an AIS enabled EPIRB?\u00a0 Check out the new <a href=\"https:\/\/oceansignal.com\/products\/safesea-epirb3-pro\/\">EPIRB3<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-49\"><strong>Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-50\">Complies with MED (2014\/90\/EU)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-51\">406 MHz (link via satellite to emergency services)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-52\">121.5 MHz Homing Signal (to aid final locating by search &amp; rescue)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-53\">High Intensity Strobe<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-54\">30% (typ) Smaller<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-55\">10 year Battery Life<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-56\">2 Year Warranty (may extend warranty to 5 years via product registration with Ocean Signal)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-57\">66 Channel GPS (fact accurate positioning)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-58\">Replacing your McMurdo EPIRB with the Ocean Signal EPIRB1<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Replacing your McMurdo with the EPIRB1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7o7i59BIpQs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The worlds most compact EPIRB with\u00a0Category I Automatic Release Housing<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One time purchase.
