When activated, the precision GPS 406 EPIRB provides a 406 Mhz alert signal via the COMPAS-SARSAT satelite system. There is a visual indication of GPS acquisition. Precision also transmits on the International Aircraft Emergency Frequency of 121.5 MHz providing a homing signal for the Search And Rescue (SAR) services. A built-in self test facility includes testing of the 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz signal (where permitted) and GPS power up.
