To register your Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1, you need to contact your national registration authority. This can typically be done via post, email, or online. You will be required to provide your 15-digit HEX ID (UIN), which is a unique identifier for your beacon. Along with these details, you should include your contact information and details of an emergency contact. Depending on your country, additional information such as boat type and identification or alternative emergency contacts might be required. Once you have all the necessary information, you can proceed with the registration process, which will add your device to the International Beacon Registration Database (IBRD), ensuring that in the event of an emergency, the distress signal transmitted by your PLB1 will be linked to your details for a swift search and rescue operation.

Battery replacements are also available through us here at All Sat Communications. The battery of the Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 beacon is not user replaceable and must be sent to an authorised service dealer for replacement such as ourselves, more information can be found here.
