5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS<br />
5.1 FBR-3 FLOAT FREE BRACKET<br />
When the capsule is mounted in the FBR-3 bracket release mechanism, it operates<br />
as a float free automatic unit.<br />
5.2 MANUAL OPERATION OF EPIRB MODULE<br />
Figure 5.2, EPIRB Main switch<br />
The manual operation can be done when the capsule is mounted in the bracket<br />
or when the capsule is removed from the bracket.<br />
Break the seal on the main switch and pull the locking pin. Push in the leftmost<br />
part of switch mechanism and the switch will automatically go to the ON (Emergency)<br />
position.<br />
The red indicator lamp and the Xenon flash on the main board will start operating,<br />
indicating that the EPIRB module is active.<br />
NOTE!<br />
The EPIRB module performs a complete self-test before any emergency signals<br />
are transmitted. The Transmitters will start after approx. 70 seconds. At the<br />
same time GPS receiver is started. This is done to prevent the GPS receiver to<br />
start in TEST position. Turning the switch back to the READY position stops the<br />
transmission. If the Capsule is out of the bracket, make sure the battery compartment<br />
is dry to prevent activation of the seawater contacts.<br />
