with an internal GPS receiver the ResQFix™
will acquire your GPS position and transmit it along
with your personalized identifi er code through
the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites instantly alerting
Search and Rescue forces that you need help, immediately!
The ResQFix™ works fast, if GPS data is present
in the beacon’s fi rst transmission, SAR forces
can be notifi ed and start planning your rescue
in as little as three minutes.
