RescueME PLB1

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 Ocean Signal 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.

The 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.

Why You Need the Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB1 for Your Next Adventure

If you love exploring remote places, whether on land or at sea, you know how important it is to have a reliable way to communicate in case of an emergency. You never know when you might need help, and you don’t want to rely on your phone or other devices that might run out of battery, lose signal or break down. That’s why you need the Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB1, the world’s smallest personal locator beacon (PLB) that can alert the global emergency services with the press of a button.

  subscription charges. You only pay for the device once and you can use it for free for up to 7 years, which is the battery life of the device.
• Waterproof and durable: The Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB1 is waterproof to 15 meters and can withstand harsh environments. It has a high-intensity
  strobe light that can be seen from a long distance and a retractable antenna that can be easily deployed. It also comes with a flotation pouch that can
  help it float in water.
• Easy to use: The Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB1 can be operated with one hand and has a simple spring-loaded flap that covers the activation button to
  prevent accidental use. When activated, it transmits your position and your ID to a rescue coordination center via satellite link. The rescue services
  nearest to you are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location to assist prompt rescue.
• Global coverage: The Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB1 works with the Cospas Sarsat system, which is the only officially recognized worldwide dedicated
  search and rescue satellite network. It is funded by governments and there are no charges to use this service. The device also has a built-in GPS
  receiver that encodes your position in the transmission, improving the location accuracy.
• Compact and portable: The Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB1 is 30% smaller than other PLBs and weighs only 116 grams. It can easily fit in your pocket,
  backpack or life jacket. It also has a unique mounting clip that allows you to attach it to different surfaces.
