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.
