While we recommend the ACR ResQLink Personal Locater Beacon (PLB), we hope you never get to use it.
Three integrated signal capabilities, the ACR ResQLink is equipped with GPS positioning, a powerful 406MHz signal, and 121.5MHz homing capability to quickly transmit your location within 100m to a worldwide search and rescue satellite system, all in a lightweight, compact and affordable package.
Easily activated by deploying the antenna and pressing a button, the ResQLink has two handy self test options to confirm unit functionality before you leave on your adventure. A built in strobe light increases visibility for authorities and the included pouch makes it easy to attach to a life vest, belt or backpack.
Tried and tested in extreme conditions, the technology used in the ResQLink PLB has saved thousands of lives and provides a level of peace of mind on top of good preparation when heading off on outdoor adventures.

Attatchment Points1 answer
Is there a point on the device itself where it could be attached to a lanyard or carabiner? I'd rather not use the pouch.
G'day Lachlan,
The ACR ResQLink PLB comes with a wrist lanyard attached and this can be removed if you wish to attach something else. The attachment point isn't big enough to put a carabiner through, but you could attach it to the existing wrist lanyard.

G'day Jeff,
As far as we can find, the battery for the ResQLink has to be changed by an authorised battery service provider. There only seems to be one authorised battery replacement centre in NSW (which I found through this link) which is M.O.S.S Australia Pty Ltd.
To find out more, just have a squiz at the manual here, or the ACR website for more information.
I've checked the packaging and is says this product is made in the U.S.A by an American company called ACR Electronics, Inc.
Your advertising says this works world-wide. Is that true? Or does it have to be programmed to work in, for example, South America?1 answer

G'day Alan,
Great question! Every PLB unit uses the same global frequency so there is no issue with the unit operating across the globe. The difficulty is that you need to seek the approval of local authorities to use the device in each country that you travel to. Once you have approval, you then need to register your details in each country that you visit to ensure they have your trip and contact details available.
The challenge is that some countries won't approve certain units for varying reasons. Manufacturers try to seek pre-approval on your behalf (you'll note pre-approved authorities in the specifications list on our website for the units we sell). If an authority isn't listed, this doesn't necessarily mean approval has been denied, rather that it likely hasn't been sought.
