Description

The Fast Find 220 is a lightweight, palm sized unit designed for those of you who travel to out of the way places to give you peace of mind if you find yourself in an emergency situation with no other form of communication. On activation it will transmit your unique ID and precise GPS location on the 460MHz frequency to Search and Rescue satellites, alerting rescuers in minutes and giving them regular updates on your position. The unit also transmits on 121.5MHz frequency so you can be pinpointed by rescuers.
Features

  • The Fast Find is designed as a direct communication, to the 406 MHz Search and Rescue satellite system, its signal indicates that you are in need of urgent response and assistance
  • Transmits two signals simultaneously, one to the subscription free global 406 MHz satellite system, and the other (121.5MHz) is to speed up the local recovery response process. Once activated, FAST FIND's signals will continue to transmit for at least 24 hours, at a powerful 5 watt output; the 406 MHz transmission ensures that a call for help gets through whatever the conditions.
  • The pocket sized beacon transmits at the press of a button
  • A built in strobe can be activated to automatically flash SOS to any response activity
  • The unit is waterproof to 10m for up to 5 minutes
  • Buoyant when in the provided neoprene pouch
  • FAST FIND 220 will operate in temperatures down to -20°c and its integral battery has a user storage life of 6 years, so there’s no need for constant battery changes and re-charging.

Please make sure you register your beacon and information (instructions included) before using the device (critical to your safety and to successful search and rescue should you need it) and check the battery before starting your trip
