ABOUT YOUR EPIRB 1.1 COSPAS/SARSAT System The basic Cospas-Sarsat concept is illustrated in the figure below. The System is composed of: • distress radio beacons (ELTs for aviation use, EPIRBs for maritime use, and PLBs for personal use) which transmit signals during distress situations • instruments on board satellites in geostationary and low-altitude Earth orbits which detect the signals transmitted by distress radio beacons • ground receiving stations, referred to as Local User Terminals (LUTs), which receive and process the satellite downlink signal to generate distress alerts • Mission Control Centers (MCCs) which receive alerts produced by LUTs and forward them to Rescue Coordination Centers (RCCs), Search and Rescue Points Of Contacts (SPOCs) or other MCCs The Cospas-Sarsat System includes two types of satellites: • satellites in low-altitude Earth orbit (LEO) which form the LEOSAR System • satellites in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) which form the GEOSAR System The future Cospas-Sarsat System will include a new type of satellite in the medium-al- titude Earth orbit (MEO) which will form the MEOSAR System. The GlobalFix V5 is fully compatible with the new MEOSAR satellites. 15/11/2022 912S-04064 - 01.02 5 GlobalFix V5 User Manual 1.2 Return Link Service The Galileo Return Link Service (RLS) is a free-of-charge global service available to Cospas-Sarsat RLS compatible beacons. The new functionality, currently offered uniquely by Galileo, enables a communication link that relays a Return Link Message (RLM) back to the originating beacon through the Galileo Navigation Signal in Space. The RLS feature is an indication on the GlobalFix V5 that confirms to the User that the distress signal from the EPIRB has been localised by the Cospas-Sarsat system and is being sent to the SAR authorities. It does NOT mean that a search and rescue mission has been launched, but only confirms that the distress alert has been received by the Cospas- Sarsat system and is being routed to the appropriate SAR agencies. The RLS will send an acknowledgment to the beacon less than 30 minutes following activation (usually much quicker). RLS is an optional function and may not be permitted in all countries. The full RLS specification can be found here: https://gsc-europa.eu/sites/default/files/sites/all/files/Galileo-SAR-SDD.pdf 1.3 AIS System AIS systems operate on VHF radio bands and transceivers are fitted to all commercial shipping and an ever growing number of recreational vessels globally. Shortly after activation, an AIS EPIRB device will activate an alarm on all AIS equipped vessels within VHF range alerting them to the fact that a person is in the water needing assistance. Often it is a vessel in the close vicinity of an incident that is able to react and effect a rescue quicker than the emergency services. Emergency service craft are fitted with AIS receivers allowing them to pinpoint a casualty in the water more precisely than any other system. 1.4 The GlobalFix Range 1.4.1 GlobalFix V5 Category 1 (Part No. 2851) This EPIRB combines 406MHz Cospas-Sarsat distress beacon with RLS and AIS transmitter in a Category 1 Auto Release Housing. This unit complies with IMO resolution MSC.471 (101) for commercial vessels and will auto-activate in contact with the water. 1.4.2 GlobalFix V5 Category 2 (Part No. 2852) 1.4.3 This EPIRB combines 406MHz Cospas-Sarsat distress beacon with RLS and AIS transmitter in a Category 2 Manual Release Bracket. This unit complies with IMO resolu- tion MSC.471 (101) for commercial vessels and will auto-activate in contact with the water. GlobalFix V5 User Manual 6 912S-04064 - 01.02 15/11/2022 1.

When a smartphone is placed adjacent to the GlobalFix V5 EPIRB the ACR Product App automatically opens providing access to EPIRB data. Beacon status information in the app includes current battery life, number of self- tests completed, number of GNSS tests completed, and the amount of time the EPIRB has been activated. Detailed information on each self-test and GNSS test performed by the device is also available. GNSS tests show a map view pinpointing where the previous test was performed, the date and time of the test, how long it took the EPIRB to get a fix on the GNSS coordinates, the number of satellites used to obtain that fix, and the accuracy of the fix. Easy App connectivity with NFC allows users to easily check the status of all EPIRB functions to ensure it is working properly. Smartphone Connectivity utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC) App Faster Rescues through the Pairing of Global and Local Rescue Return Link Service tells whoever triggers the EPIRB that the distress message has been delivered. An RLS signal sent back through the Galileo satellite network confirms that the distress message along with the precise beacon location and identifiers have been detected. An easy to see flashing blue light indicates the EPIRB’s successful reception of the Return Link message from the Galileo satellite network. The comfort of knowing rescuers are aware that an EPIRB has been activated and that they have its location helps reduce the stress associated with mayday situations. ACR specializes in electronic rescue devices and other life-saving products designed for both professional and recreational mariners.

Ocivan Way, Unit 4 Margate, Kent CT9 4NN United Kingdom Subj: OCEAN SIGNAL SAFESEA EPIRB3 PRO, RESCUEME EPIRB3 & ACR GLOBALFIX V5 Dear Mr. Newton: We have reviewed the information submitted in your letter and email dated October 25, 2022, requesting Coast Guard acceptance of the following emergency position indicating radiobeacons (EPIRBs) with a 121.5 MHz homing signal, Automatic Identification System (AIS), and a Return Link Service (RLS) in accordance with 46 CFR 161.011 and per the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) standard 11000.5 for EPIRBs: • Ocean Signal SafeSea EPIRB3 Pro (Class2, Category 1) • Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB3 (Class2, Category 2), and • ACR Electronics GlobalFix V5 (Class2, Categories 1 and 2). In compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements, and the FCC waivers granted in via email from Mr. Thomas Derenge, Deputy Chief Mobility Division, WTB, FCC email dated March 8, 2022, for use of RTCM standard 11000.5 for EPIRBs, our review verifies performance as a radiobeacon for marine use per 46 CFR 161.011. USCG approval certificates are not issued for marine radiobeacons as final approval rests with the FCC. Based on the information provided, including the TUV SUD test reports for Ocean Signal Limited EPIRB3 Pro and EPIRB3 – Document 7592867-01, Issue 5, 02 August 2022, and ACR Electronics Inc. RLB-44 Document 75953445-01, Issue 5, 02 August 2022, indicating compliance with the relevant requirements of RTCM Standard 11000.5 and 47 CFR 80.1061(c)(2), we conclude that the subject EPIRBs are acceptable for marine use.

Dear Sir/Madam, The ACR Group hereby respectfully apply for FCC Type Approval through TUV SUD BABT UNLIMITED as an TCB Scheme for the following Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) products: • Ocean Signal SafeSea EPIRB3 Pro (Class2, Category 1) • Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB3 (Class2, Category 2) • ACR Electronics GlobalFix V5 (Class2, Categories 1 and 2) The products are for use in an emergency and contain transmitters which are used to alert search and rescue services and provide homing signals to aid rescue. The beacons will automatically activate when in contact with water. Alternatively, they may be carried by the user and be manually activated. Following activation, the beacons will transmit 406MHz alerts to the Cospas- Sarsat global emergency system and will transmit AIS Man Overboard and 121.5MHz homing signals. In addition, where allowed in the country of operation, the device will receive an RLS confirmation that the alerts have been noticed. The EPIRBs comply with the requirements of IMO Resolution MSC 471(101) which introduces revised performance standards for float-free EPIRBs including AIS functionality; these revised standards being applied to EPIRBs installed on or after July 1 st , 2022. In addition, the products have Cospas- Sarsat approval which was received on the 14 th October 2022. Please note that the above named EPIRB products are essentially identical in terms of electronics (printed circuit board and battery), firmware and functionality, with the GlobalFix V5 being a brand variant of the EPIRB3 beacon products utilising a different case. In addition, the EPIRB3 Pro and GlobalFix V5 products have the same fixed antenna, whereas the EPIRB3 has a retractable antenna. 19 th January 2023 TUV SUD BABT UNLIMITED (TCB) Octagon House, Segensworth Road, Fareham, Hampshire, PO15 5RL United Kingdom The EPIRB3 Pro and EPIRB3 products are offered for sale with ARH1 Auto Release Housing and Manual Mounting Bracket respectively.
