Your Worldwide Link To Search and Rescue
The rescueME PLB1 Overview
Wherever you are at sea or on land, the rescueME PLB1 provides the reassurance that emergency services can be alerted by the press of a button.
The rescueME PLB 1 works with the only officially recognized 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.
How it Works
When activated, the rescueME PLB1 transmits your position and your unique ID to a Rescue
Coordination Center via satellite. Rescue services are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location.
To assist with search and rescue, a homing signal is transmitted on 121.5MHz, which is received by equipment fitted to both sea and airborne rescue craft. The integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility.
Simple Activation
The rescueME PLB 1 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.
Versatile Mounting Options
The rescueME PLB1 comes with a unique cradle mounting system that can be easily fitted into your lifejacket or onto a belt or backpack taking up minimal space and ensuring it is easily accessible.

Hopefully I’ll never give this item a proper use case review. Purchased it to strap to my life jacket while sailing the great lakes should I ever find myself in a MOB situation. I love the ultra compact design, sturdy construction and the basic functionality without bells & whistles really appeals to me.My other consideration was the garmin inreach mini 2. In the end, the simple subscription free device was the right call. I have starlink for general communications so connectivity on the boat isn’t an issue.

I used this regularly for years until I forgot to zip a pocket and lost it on a dirt bike ride.I'm planning to buy a replacement. I don't have a way of knowing how well it would have worked, but the tests worked so I have to assume it was functioning.It's very compact and easy to bring with you whenever you want the peace of mind that if something bad happens people will have a chance of finding your body before it decomposes or possible even rescue you.

I’m suspicious this item is used. Completely open box , nothing sealed at all. Packaging looks worn and old.

The pouch was either deliberately or inadvertently not included with my order.

Nice size. Battery experation date April 2029. Not a lot said about antenna. Your suppose to open flap, push button, pull out antenna, then lay it flat on ground with antenna facing up towards sky. Doesn't float and not designed to be used while floating in water. Guess if your boat sank you could float on your back and either set it on your chest or hold it above water. Either way you got to get that antenna pointed up and the beacon out of the water. Can't use antenna with it is attached to your gear unless you maybe figured out a way to attach it to top of your shoulder with antenna going up by your head. I bet that flashing intense beacon light would be annoying if you had it attached that close to your face. Ok, it might be a little uncomfortable operating it while floating in the ocean, but it's managable. Can be attached to your gear/belt by either floating poch or clip. Both are belt loop style. There's an additional string to us as back up. Registration was easy and needs to be renewed every two years. Testing easy, but only allowed during first five minutes at top of each hour. Personally, I'm really happy with it. I can take it with me wherever and it's small enough to stick on my belt and not get in the way.

Looks like a good device, small and light weight. Upon receiving the device I conducted a test. It indicated two green flashes, initially this concerned me but after a very long time on the phone with ACR finally got to a technician that clarifies that the number of flashes actually indicates the number of hours used. All new ones should have two green flashes. 1 green to indicate it passes and then one green to indicate less than one hour of use on the device. This is on page 9 of the manual but it is not clear or intuitive. If the device has been used for more than one hour then you need to count the number of yellow flashes to determine how long it has been used.
