This PLB is not available for an indefinite period.

The MT610G is a very compact, lightweight PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) from the Australian manufacturer GME.

It transmits the emergency alarm including the exact GPS position via Cospas-Sarsat (406 MHz). The 121.5 MHz frequency is also used for homing.

Before delivery, the MMSI of your ship must be programmed into the EPIRB.

To do this, please select the initial programming (Article-No. 3957-000) under "Accessories" further down on this page. In the last step of the order process, you can enter the required ship data under "Remarks": Ship name, MMSI, IMO no., call sign, flag.

Would you like to use the PLB on different yachts or in a sea kayak? Then you can alternatively register the emergency beacon in the UK using the device's own ID number. The number and details of the corresponding homepage are enclosed with the device. If you want the PLB without programming the MMSI, please indicate this under "Remarks" in your order.

The device is activated by switching it on manually. The emergency signal is transmitted after 30 seconds at the earliest. No warm-up time is required due to the digital frequency conditioning. The device automatically carries out an extensive internal test and informs you of the result via LED displays.

First Coding EPIRB
description: Erstprogrammierung EPIRB
Initial programming of a new device purchased from us!An EPIRB - and therefore also a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) - i.e. a COSPAS-SARSAT satellite radio beacon is generally subject to registration in Germany.Both EPIRBs and PLBs are registered on a ship-by-ship basis. This means that the MMSI of your own ship is programmed into the device, which - unlike with a radio - you cannot do yourself. Alternatively, the PLB can also be registered in the UK on a device/person basis.Therefore, please enter the required ship data in the last step of the order under "Remarks":Ship nameMMSIIMO no. (if available)Call signFlagYou can also send us a copy (e-mail attachment) of the first page of your Ship Station Licence (certificate of assignment).You will receive the corresponding coding certificate (including 15-digit HEX ID code, "protected message") with the device, which you submit to the Federal Network Agency, Hamburg field office.The form for the "Application for the allocation of numbers of the mobile maritime and inland waterway radio call sign, MMSI and ATIS for recreational navigation (SHIP STATION LICENCE)" is used for new applications and applications for amendments.You can find it here: www.bundesnetzagentur.deThe details of your EPIRB / PLB will then be stored with the ITU* and the MRCC** Bremen so that appropriate action can be taken in the event of an emergency at sea. For example, a telephone call can be made to a designated person on shore to check whether it may be a genuine emergency.* The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)** Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC)
