When should distress beacon batteries be replaced?
Distress beacon batteries need to be replaced
before the expiry date noted on the label of the
beacon. This will ensure that the beacon will
transmit for the minimum time required once
activated. Battery life varies from model to
model. Batteries should be replaced by the
manufacturer or their Australian agent.
