In an overboard emergency, the transmitter will automatically activate and send out a signal after three to five seconds of saltwater immersion. The transmitter's signal triggers an audible alarm at the bridge mounted receiver, which simultaneously displays the Sailors identification information. The direction finder then locates the transmitter's signal and displays the relative bearing information on the radio direction finder. The transmitters can be tracked up to 18 nautical miles.
