rescueME EPIRB1 - Category 2

The rescueME EPIRB1 provides peace of mind with an impressive 10 year battery life. The world's most compact EPIRB can always be on hand, as its small size allows it to be easily retained within its quick release bracket or placed in an emergency grab-bag or life raft.

A simple protective tab over the operating keys prevents inadvertent activation, yet allows for easy operation when required. The rescueME EPIRB1 also features two high brightness strobes to maximise visibility in low light conditions.

The retractable antenna provides maximum protection and a reduced outline for stowage. When required the antenna is easily deployed with a gentle pull.

For longer offshore or ocean passages, the Ocean Signal E100G EPIRB offers an exceptional 96 hour operational life with the option of an automatic release housing (mandatory for vessels approved under SOLAS regulations).

How the Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Enhances Your Safety

The rescueME EPIRB1 - Category 2 is designed to be a lifesaving tool you can count on when it matters most. Its compact size, reliable battery life, and advanced technology make it an essential addition to any mariner's safety kit. Here’s how this EPIRB stands out:

Key Use Cases

Offshore Voyages: Perfect for long-distance journeys where quick rescue response can be critical.
Coastal Sailing: Compact enough to carry in grab bags or life rafts for added safety near shorelines.
Emergency Preparedness: A must-have for any vessel, ensuring you’re prepared for unexpected situations.

Understanding the Technology

The rescueME EPIRB1 operates on dual frequencies: 406 MHz for satellite communication to alert global search and rescue teams, and 121.5 MHz for local homing signals. Its integrated 66-channel GPS pinpoints your location with precision, helping rescuers locate you faster.

With dual high-brightness strobe lights, this device ensures visibility even in poor lighting conditions, making it easier for rescue teams to spot you in the water or on land.

Why Compact Size Matters

At 30% smaller than traditional EPIRBs, the rescueME EPIRB1 is designed for convenience and portability. It fits seamlessly into small storage spaces, making it ideal for inclusion in a grab bag, emergency kit, or attached to your life raft.

Best Practices for Use

Ensure the device is mounted securely in its quick-release bracket for immediate access.
Regularly check the protective tab over the activation keys to confirm it remains intact and ready for deployment.
For extended offshore trips, consider pairing with an automatic release housing for enhanced safety compliance.

Maintenance Tips

To keep your EPIRB functioning optimally:

Test the device periodically using the built-in self-test function to verify the battery and GPS are operational.
Store the EPIRB in a dry, accessible location to protect the battery and electronics from unnecessary exposure.
Replace the device promptly after the 10-year battery life expires, as per manufacturer guidelines.

Who Should Use the rescueME EPIRB1?

This EPIRB is ideal for recreational boaters, coastal sailors, and offshore adventurers who value compact, reliable, and easy-to-use safety equipment. Its affordable price point and extensive features make it a favorite among safety-conscious mariners.
