Description

The RescueMe PLB from Ocean Signal is the smallest Personal Locator Beacon on the market. Its super compact design allows it to be kept on the person with as little intrusion as possible. There has been no sacrifice of performance for the size either, as the 7-year battery life from manufacture still manages to outperform even some larger models. There is a strobe light on top for enhanced visibility and included in the box is a mounting clip and flotation pouch so it stays with you.
The RescueMe PLB operates on the only officially recognised search and rescue satellite network, operated globally by 45 countries and organisations.
Along with the 7 year battery life, the RescueMe PLB comes with a 5 year warranty.

Hi there

Yes, these batteries are replaceable on a "return the unit to supplier" basis and the current cost is $245 plus freight. A form would need to be completed before the unit is sent
