Q: What happens when I activate the EPIRB?

A signal is sent to a nearby satellite, then on to a monitoring station who will then pass on to the country’s search and rescue authority. This may take several hours. In Australia, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) will initiate the search and rescue. Generally, they will attempt to make contact with the registered user of the EPIRB to confirm the emergency is an actual event. They may also attempt to contact listed Emergency Contacts to verify user details including travel plans if unknown. They may also contact Nomad Outback Australia as the registered owner of the EPIRB. It is important that Contact details, emergency contact details and travel plans are provided so as to ensure rescue authorities can focus efforts quickly to the right area and people. Users should be prepared with a plan to sustain life as best as possible until help arrives.

Q: Do I need to test the EPIRB Prior to Hire?

The ResQlink EPIRB is tested monthly, however if you wish to also conduct a test prior to travel that is fine.

Q: Where will the EPIRB work?

The ResQlink EPIRB requires a clear view to the sky in order to send the emergency signal.

Q: What happens when I activate the SOS button?

If activated, the SOS button sends your GPS position to GEOS who monitor the emergency activations. They will then attempt contact with the phone, the user, or the owner of the phone.
