Introduction The Guardian MOB Beacon Watch is a full function alarm chronograph which incorporates an emergency distress transmitter. The transmitter may be activated automatically if the Watch is immersed in water; it may also be activated manually. This product is designed to be worn in conditions where the user is at risk of falling into water and where it may be difficult to locate the person in the water visually. The beacon is used in conjunction with a receiver to generate an alarm; a direction finder is available to help locate the person in the water. 1.1 Man Overboard Operation Once armed, the beacon will activate automatically when immersed in sea water, and will continue to transmit until disabled. Arming and disabling are detailed in the Features section. In fresh water the beacon must be activated manually. The beacon cannot transmit effectively when underwater, and needs to be as high as possible for best signal range. Ideally, the user should hold up the arm wearing the watch, but this is impractical for long periods. It is recommended that the arm is rested on top of the lifejacket, as shown opposite. 5 1.2 Battery Life The battery is designed to power this product for a period of 1 year. When the battery is running low the LED flashes and the sounder beeps four times, repeating every minute. This warning normally indicates that the battery has reached the minimum level at which performance can be guaranteed; any further deterioration may jeopardise the performance of the beacon in an emergency. Refer to Page 15 for information on testing the beacon to verify the alarm. Refer to the Service section for information on replacing the battery.

6711 RITZ WAY • BELTSVILLE, MARYLAND 20705 • (301) 419-0000 www.boatersworld.com October 10, 2001 To whom it may concern, I am writing to express my interest in the Pains Wessex Guardian Man-over- board watch. I understand that this product has been submitted to the FCC for approval. Having read the item’s description and function, I believe that this unique device will significantly increase the safety of marine boaters by providing them with a means of alerting mariners to the loss of persons overboard while at sea. It is small and convenient to wear which will increase the likelihood that sailors will wear the device. In addition, the Guardian Man- over-board watch will provide searchers with the means to rapidly locate and rescue those lost overboard in various sea conditions and visibility. Therefore, because of its potential impact on boating safety, I feel that it should be made available to the public as soon as possible. There is currently no other such product available and I believe that boaters would truly welcome and benefit from this new and innovative product. Sincerely, Jay Jolly Vice President

Guardian Manoverboard (MOB) beacon The new Guardian ™ Manoverboard wristwatch represents a major breakthrough in marine safety! For recreational cruising or racing boaters, divers, personal water craft users, commercial or sports fishermen, in fact anyone who spends time on or near the water. This lightweight, easy to wear waterproof, multi-function wristwatch has a built- in radio transmitter which when activated either manually or automatically, immediately transmits a distress tone on the international emergency search and rescue frequency (121.5MHz). The powerful signal transmitted can be detected by a surface rescue vessel or helicopter, which can accurately home in to the watch using direction-finding equipment. Making the Ocean a Safer Place Automatic activation with manual on/off override Hour, minute, second, day of the week, month and date display Chronograph 1/100 second with lap/split control Alarm with chime LCD Backlight Water resistant - tested to a depth of 150 feet Transmission activation audible and visual LED alarms Up to 8 hours transmission time Range to surface vessel up to 1 nautical mile Range to SAR helicopter greater than 5 nautical miles Transmits on 121.5MHz Guardian ™ Wristwatch Manoverboard Beacon The greatest advantages of the Guardian ™ watch over traditional beacons is that the design and construction encourage the user to wear it like a normal wristwatch, 24 hours a day. This dramatically reduces the risk of loss of life on the water should an unexpected event occur! The Guardian ™ watch is ideal for aiding in the recovery of personnel who are in the water either by accident or as part of a coordinated evacuation. Although the Guardian ™ will activate automatically on immersion in water, manual activation is also available at the touch of a button! When activated the watch has a flashing LED and audible warning reassuring the Manoverboard that the watch is transmitting. Once activated the distress signal will trigger an audible alarm on the vessel or fixed platform, such as an oilrig. In addition the location of the signal can immediately be shown on compatible electronic chart systems. To complete the Guardian ™ Manoverboard system either the Emergency Receiver or Direction Finder should be fitted to your vessel. Direction Finder The Emergency Receiver is a high quality Manoverboard surveillance system operating on the international 121.5MHz emergency frequency. Used in conjunction with the Guardian ™ watch this system will give all crew members the confidence of knowing that no one should go overboard undetected. Features:  2 Reception modes (Standard 121.5MHz + Swept tone PLB/EPIRB/ELT code) 8 Level signal strength indicator Built-in alarm Auto squelch on/off Alarm reset function Relay contact output (I.E. GPS or Radar contacts) Continuous self-diagnostic fault indicator 12/24 VDC Power input Specifications Used together with the Guardian ™ watch, Precision ™ EPIRB or FastFind ™ PLB, this direction finder is the latest state-of-the-art unit using the international 121.5MHz emergency frequency or the 121.65MHz training frequency. A bearing relative to the vessels head is displayed along with an incoming signal strength indicator. The visual and audible alarm provides easy-to follow information, allowing the operator to quickly search for and rescue the man overboard.

The EUT was configured as a portable unit powered from a self contained battery. A customer supplied Microprocessor controlled Surveillance Receiver (Crewguard), was set up remotely to monitor for the activation of the EUT. In transmit mode the EUT operated on 121.5MHz, power level. Emissions Testing The EUT together with all associated cabling, was set-up simulating a typical user installation, then tested in accordance with the specification. The EUT was functioning correctly during all testing, and was operating in the Idle mode. Immunity Testing The EUT was functioning correctly prior to each test, and was tested with it operating in both the Transmit and Idle modes. The correct operation of the EUT was monitored throughout each test by viewing the PLB/ELT Code LED, Speaker and Level Indicator on the receiver as follows: Idle Mode. For any unintentional (Alarm) operation of the PLB/ELT LED, audio output from the speaker or any level indications. Transmit Mode. For any interruption in the flashing of the PLB/ELT LED, audio output from the speaker or loss of level indication.
