ResQLink 400 PLB

G'day James,

Regardless of which Snowys location you purchased your PLB from, you can find all this information in the 'contact' & 'visit us' sections of the Menu on our website.

Hope that helps.

G'day Tracey,

The ACR 400 PLB will GPS located and transmit every 30min in the first 6 hours once activated.
For more information check out page 11 of the operating manual, which you can view as a PDF on our product page.

G'day Thomas,

No, the 406Link subscription is only available to North and South American customers.
At this stage we are unaware of a timeframe for this service to be extended.

G'day Garry,

Yes, according to AMSA (Australian Mariane Safety Authority) all PLB sold within Australia are approved by this standard.
It's only Emergency Beacons that are purchased outside of Australia that aren't.
Hope this information helps!

G'day Jan,

The ResQLink 400 PLB and the Ocean Signal RescueMe units both work in the exact same way and send the same type of signal. The only differences are the exterior casin of the unit, the waterproof rating, and battery life. Generally you'll only need to carry one unit per group, but we'd recommend registering your trip intentions on the AMSA website, you can do this by logging into the same site you use to register your beacon. That way the relevant authorities will know how many people are in the group, so can respond accordingly if needed.

G'day Laura,

The ResQLink 400 PLB doesn't come with a pouch, but it is supplied with a belt clip and an oral inflation tube clip. Have a look in the downloadable product manual for what these clips look like and their purposes.

G'day Andrew,

Yes, there are a number of places in Australia that you can get your ACR battery replaced. Last time we checked, the replacement costs were around $180-$200.

G'day James,

Yes the ACR ResQLink 400 PLB is able to be used worldwide. You just need to make sure you register it with AMSA here. The main thing to know is that you register it with the Australian authorities, and then if you need to activate it while travelling the signal is sent to the relevant authorities in your country of travel who liaise with the Australian authorities to make sure you get out of trouble safely. It's also worth having a look at the AMSA site, and reading the product user manual to make sure it will suit your needs.

G'day Reginald,

The reference to approval in other countries is to do with residential relocation.  If you ever intend to reside in another country other than Australia the ResQLink will transition, however, the KTI would need to be re-coded and battery replacements can only be done within Australia.
The KTI and other PLBs can be used worldwide for your adventures, (save a small few locations like North Korea for example), and both the KTI and ResQLink use the COSPAS/SARSAT program.
The only other differences is the warranty period - KTI have 10 years & the battery replacement interval - KTI is 10 years.
