The RescueMe PLB from Ocean Signal is the smallest Personal Locator Beacon on the market. Its super compact design allows it to be kept on the person with as little intrusion as possible. There has been no sacrifice of performance for the size either, as the 7-year battery life from manufacture still manages to outperform even some larger models. There is a strobe light on top for enhanced visibility and included in the box is a mounting clip and flotation pouch so it stays with you.
The RescueMe PLB operates on the only officially recognised search and rescue satellite network, operated globally by 45 countries and organisations.
Along with the 7 year battery life, the RescueMe PLB comes with a 5 year warranty.
$5.99 standard freight rate for non-rural, shoe box sized deliveries. Additional charges apply for rural delivery, island delivery, dangerous goods and large packages.

Are there any limitations on the distance it can activate from a main centre?

This is suitable for going remote in NZ bush - you just need to be able to have a clear view of the sky.

Hi there
Yes, these batteries are replaceable on a "return the unit to supplier" basis and the current cost is $245 plus freight. A form would need to be completed before the unit is sent

The rescueME PLB1 is provided with a flotation pouch to fit the PLB1 into to enable it to float. Please note that the PLB1 will not float in an operating position in the pouch. Please ensure the PLB1 is firmly attached to the pouch with the provided lanyard, using suitable self-locking knots.
