ACR ResQLink View PLB425 Buoyant GPS Personal Locator Beacon

The ACR ResQLink View PLB425 is a buoyant personal locator beacon that sends an SOS distress signal with GPS position directly to Search and Rescue forces worldwide using the 406 MHz Emergency Distress Signal and 121.5 MHz Homing Signal, with no subscription required. Its digital display shows live beacon status and GPS coordinates, while the bright LED strobe and infrared strobe provide multiple visual signals to rescuers.

Small, rugged, and lightweight, the ResQLink View includes attachment clips such as a belt clip, oral inflation tube clip, straps, and lanyards for increased wearability.

Frequently asked questions What are the differences between the ResQLink 400 and ResQLink View Personal Locator Beacons? The ResQLink View includes a digital display that shows live beacon status and GPS coordinates, featuring 28 hours operational life versus the 24 hours of the ResQLink 400. How do I register my beacon? In the U.S., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) handles beacon registrations. Register easily online at www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov – the fastest and recommended method. Why is it so important for me to register my beacon? Registering your EPIRB, ELT, or Personal Locator Beacon is required by law in the U.S. and most countries. It helps Search and Rescue teams identify you and access your travel details, speeding up response time in an emergency. How do I know when the battery is due for replacement? There is a battery expiration date label on every beacon.
