What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect casing, antenna, mounting, seals, labels and release arrangement and perform only the approved self-test procedure. Verify battery and hydrostatic-release dates where applicable, beacon identification and required registration records. Do not perform unauthorized live distress transmissions; exact test procedures and replacement intervals must follow manufacturer and statutory documentation.
Carry only maker-approved replaceable items such as mounting clips, lanyards or straps and batteries where onboard replacement is permitted; hydrostatic-release units and sealed battery packs are normally replaced as complete approved items.
