Note: It is required that every 406 ELT be registered by the aircraft owner after installation, re-registered every two years, and re-registered if there are any changes to information provided to NOAA in a previous registration, such as telephone numbers, aircraft registration number, change of owner, etc.

Every 406 ELT is programmed at the factory with a unique identification code used by the Rescue Coordination Center to determine if an emergency has actually occurred. This identifier is called the 15-Hex ID. It is located on the front label of the ELT. This unique identifier is stored in a database maintained by NOAA. It can then be accessed to contact the owner in the event of an ELT activation. Registration is free, and can even be done via the Internet on the NOAA website at: www.sarsat.noaa.gov, or at www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov.

This 406 Mhz ELT is programmed for USA Registered Aircraft. If your plane is registered in any country other than the United States we will need a 406 Mhz ELT Programming Data Sheet completed Click Here to Download

Quick Operation Check:

1. Main Switch @ ON position: Same as the AK-450, except you will see the LED lights flashing and Buzzer sound (1 second ON, 4 seconds OFF), in lieu of steady ON. (This is to save Battery Power for the LED Lights and Buzzer).
2. Main Switch @ ARM position: You will see the 2 LED lights illuminate and Buzzer sound, for 4 seconds, then extinguished.
3. Wait for additional 20 seconds, then Press the ON Switch on the Remote Switch Unit, ELT swept Tone must be heard on the VHF Radio @121.5 MHz.
