Thread: PLB EPIRB Distress Beacon - A few highly recommended MUST Do’s. To Be Repeated Again

If you haven't yet registered your NZ Coded PLB, Maritime NZ have a new website to take all the info: https://beacons.org.nz

To kill off all the myth about the registration, the PLB is not a tracker and does not tell the big brother Govt where you are minute by minute in the high country!
Before you head out...


Make sure your beacon is registered and that your details are kept up to date


Read the instruction manual and understand how to operate your beacon


Check the expiry date for the battery, which is shown on the beacon label


Ensure your beacon is stored correctly
