Product details

Notes on programming:

This PLB must be programmed with your personal data before dispatch. The appliance will not function without prior programming.

The programming of this data must be carried out by us, you cannot do this yourself.

As a rule, we program a PLB so that it can be used as an EPIRB. This means that the device is programmed and registered to a vessel and not a person. To do this, we need your personal data such as MMSI, boat name and call sign.

Please add the above-mentioned programming accordingly and complete the form in full.

If you require programming for a specific person, we can also do this for you.

The registration of the device to the respective country code must, in any case, be carried out by us.

Please let us know in which country you would like to register the device. Since there are no authorities for PLB emergency beacons in Germany, you can, for example, find information about the further procedure on the website of the English authorities ( https://www.gov.uk/register-406-beacons ) In addition, the registration of the PLB should be carried out on the website of the IBRD (International Beacon Registration Database) ( https://www.406registration.com/ ). We would also like to point out that, in accordance with the regulations of the respective country, you must register the EPIRB personally as the licence holder with the competent authority.
The world's smallest emergency signal on the market! The rescueME PLB1 has a 30% smaller volume than comparable devices and fits into every life jacket easily. Safety via the push of a button: the PLB1 can be easily turned on with one hand. A spring flap prevents the emergency signal from being accidentally activated. Once the PLB1 is activated, it immediately sends your position and ID via satellite connection - prompt rescue is ensured. A very bright flashing light on the unit helps locate you, even during the night. The PLB1 is equipped with an extendable antenna and offers a 66 channel GPS receiver. Frequency: 121,5 MHz Regulating area: 400 Hz - 1300 Hz Dimensions: (HxWxD): 77 x 51 x 32.5 mm Weight: 116 g.

False product information
The product comes with a Dutch registration HEX. They will change it for UK for 50 usds. But if you don't want it to be changed to the UK one, it will just arrive with prob a random ID, mine is Dutch. In the Netherlands, registering such a device is a paid service. I suggest you buy it form another more honest service that replies to your mails and helps you figure out if you are buying the correct device. I don't need a Dutch registration when I could just register where I live, for free.

Unfortunately, SVB is not able to register the device properly
I bought this device and am very disappointed. SVB sells the device and offers to register it. Unfortunately, that doesn't work at all. I strongly advise against buying such an expensive device and then sinking into chaos with countless registrations and unfortunately everything is faulty.

Interface unusable in an emergency.
It seems simple to use. Unfold antenna, press ON and hold to sky.
I had the device tied on my lifevest. I needed to use it swimming after a cap size.
The different flashes are confusing, I pushed the button several times. The device stopped flashing after a few minutes and couldn't be restarted at all.

Dear Sir, My radio license is German, do I register the Rescueme PLB1 with the German authorities, or the British/mca? My call sign DH8819, mmsi 211671780. Product hex I'd: 1doea6cofcffbff. Regards Shaun

Hello Shaun, used and registered as a PLB, you register it in UK with existing countrycode UK(232), using as a PLB( "EPIRB"), a reconfiguration to your mmsi is necessary to registrate at german authority.

Does it need to be registered with the German authorities under it's mmsi number, if it does what do I have to do? Or registration is the UK registration enough? It seems complicated for a new product, I have just bought of SVB.

I have just read your description of the item again, it should have been programmed before shipment. I should have filled in your paperwork and ordered you guys to program in the MMSi and boat data.
