Description
Wherever you are, at sea, on land, the rescueME PLB1 provides the reassurance that global emergency services can be alerted by the press of a button.
The rescueMe PLB1 can be operated with a single hand in even the most challenging situations. A simple spring loaded flap covers the activation button preventing inadvertent use.
RescueME PLB1 works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat). As this is funded by governments there are NO CHARGES to use this service.
When activated the rescueME PLB1 transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services nearest to your are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location to assist prompt rescue.
The rescueME PLB1 is provided with a flotation pouch to fit the PLB into to enable it to float. Please note that the PLB will not float in an operating position in the pouch. Please ensure the PLB is firmly attached to the pouch with the provided lanyard, using suitable self locking knots.

Customer Reviews
Small form factor for taking open ocean outrigger canoeing. Hope never to use it of course. Simple registration process.
My friend and I, both experienced mountaineers, had become benighted, exhausted, injured and nauseated, and found ourselves unable to continue with our objective after a long day spent in challenging conditions. Rather than head into potentially crevassed glacier terrain in the dark, we made the decision to activate the OceanSignal RescueMe locator beacon which send our exact location details to the rescue crew. The signal guided the rescuers to our exact location and made a very difficult rescue from a very exposed ridge in the dark possible. Rescue footage can be viewed here: https://fb.watch/fuAU9iOaDb/
Ocean Signal RescueME PLB1 is a great size and excellent product.
Like everyone, I hope I never have to activate it.
It's a product I hope I never have to use so I hope I never get in a position to revue it ,🙂
Great customer service. Arrived quickly
