McMurdo FastFind 220 Personal Locator Beacon US Programming
The McMurdo FastFind 220 is a personal locator beacon that activates by deploying its antenna, pulling the anti-tamper seal, and pressing the ON button — an easy sequence designed to work even in extreme conditions and remote locations. It is pre-programmed for registration with the US country code, so the initial point of contact in an emergency is US Search and Rescue authorities. Registration is required by law in most countries and is how search and rescue teams identify who you are; contacts provided during registration may also be able to supply information about your specific travel plans, and without this information a search-and-rescue operation may take longer to begin.
The device measures 4.33 x 1.18 x 4.33 inches and is made of plastic, with RF connectivity and supported applications including contacts and GPS. It is intended only for situations of grave and imminent danger to life — false alerts endanger lives and cause expensive disruption to Search and Rescue services, and deliberate misuse could result in a penalty. The package includes the device and a pouch.
