WASHINGTON (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — The Coast Guard and the National Safe Boating Council remind recreational boaters of the importance of having 406 megahertz emergency loca- tor beacons aboard to facilitate rescue in case of an emergency, keeping their beacon’s registra- tion updated and checking them regularly for proper operation. “Having a properly regis-

• Check the battery’s expiration date: If your battery is expired and it is not a user replace- able battery, contact the beacon’s manufacturer to fi nd an authorized repair center near you.


• Update the beacon’s reg- istration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: sarsat.noaa. gov/beacon.html. An EPIRB or PLB is used to


alert search and rescue forces in the event of an emergency.
