Self-Test ACR strongly recommends performing a Self-test once per month, or at least two weeks prior to a trip, to allow enough time for service, should your beacon require it. A Self-test is initiated by holding the Self-test button ( ) for at least 1 second and less than 5 seconds. Your beacon will sound an initial "beep" and flash the green LED to signify the test has begun. The green LED will flash a second time to indicate that the Self-test was successful. NOTE: The "beep" is a very high pitch sound that some people are unable to hear. Watching the LEDs may be more useful to you. Components Tested: Data integrity and memory, synthesizer, RF power/battery, GPS header (if equipped). 406 MHz If a red LED flashes at the completion of the Self-test, your beacon has failed. If the failure persists, contact ACR Electronics or an authorized Battery Replacement Center to have your beacon serviced. NOTE: During a Self-test your beacon will send a 406 MHz signal coded as self-test to the satellite system. The 121. 5 MHz homing signal is inhibited during Self-test.
