All that is required to activate the PLB is for the antenna to be extended, the protective cover flipped up and the button pressed. The retractable antenna and flip-up cover have been specifically designed to prevent inadvertent use. When activated, the rescueME PLB1 will transmit position data from its 66 channel GPS for a minimum of 24 hours while the integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility.
