Fastfind MaxG, Fastfind MaxG(B) & Fastfind Max Personal Location Beacon User manual mcmurdo mcmurdomcmurdo mcmurdo ii i Your PLBs unique identification information Notices to Purchasers Personal Location Beacons (PLB) must be registered with the appropriate National Authority. Failure to register your PLB could delay a Search and Rescue (SAR) response and maybe unlawful. WARNING A PLB should only be activated in situations of grave and imminent danger to life. Misuse or false activation is unlawful and could result in a penalty Important PLBs are intended for use within the maritime, aviation and land environments where permitted by national administrations. When activated, the PLB sends an emergency alert to the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. The time taken for the alert to be processed is dependant upon the extent of satellite system coverage at that time and any overhead obstruction that could impair the signal path to the satellite. The actual time to rescue in an emergency will be dependant upon the performance of all factors within the SAR (Search and Rescue) system, and as such, is outside the control of McMurdo Ltd. Applicability of this manual Fastfind Max and MaxG build standard: May 2008 This manual is applicable to both the Fastfind Max & MaxG models. Only MaxG versions have an inbuilt GPS receiver, consequently references to GPS and the GPS system will only apply to the MaxG and MaxG(B) models.

Page 1 of 3 Lithium Iron Disulfide Batteries September 2007 ©2007 Energizer As a courtesy to our customers, Energizer has prepared copyrighted Product Safety Datasheets to provide information on the different Eveready/Energizer battery systems. As defined in OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, Section 1910.1200 (c), Eveready/Energizer batteries are manufactured “articles”, which do not result in exposure to a hazardous chemical under normal conditions of use. For this reason, Material Safety Datasheets are not required. The information and recommendations set forth herein are made in good faith, for information only, and are believed to be accurate as of the date of preparation. However, ENERGIZER BATTERY MANUFACTURING, INC., MAKES NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THIS INFORMATION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FROM REFERENCE ON IT. PRODUCT SAFETY DATA SHEET PRODUCT NAME: ENERGIZER Battery Type No.: L91, L92 Volts: 1.5 TRADE NAME: ENERGIZER, Lithium-Iron Disulfide Battery Approximate Weight: CHEMICAL SYSTEM: Lithium-Iron Disulfide Designed for Recharge: No SECTION I - MANUFACTURER INFORMATION Energizer Battery Manufacturing, Inc. Telephone Number for Information: 1359 Columbia Rd. Westlake, OH 44145 800-383-7323 (USA / CANADA) Date Prepared: September 2007 SECTION II - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS IMPORTANT NOTE: The battery should not be opened or burned. Exposure to the ingredients contained within or their combustion products could be harmful. MATERIAL OR INGREDIENT PEL (OSHA) TLV (ACGIH) %/wt. Carbon Black (CAS# 1333-86-4) 3.5 mg/m 3 TWA 3.5 mg/m 3 TWA 0-4 1,2-Dimethoxyethane (CAS# 110-71-4) None established None established 2-4 1,3-Dioxolane (CAS# 646-06-0) None established 20 ppm 5-9 Graphite (CAS# 7782-42-5) 15 mg/m 3 TWA (total dust) 5 mg/m 3 TWA (respirable fraction) 2 mg/m 3 TWA (respirable fraction) 0-4 Iron Disulfide (CAS# 1309-36-0) None established None established 24-35 Lithium or Lithium Alloy (CAS# 7439-93-2) None established None established 5-8 Lithium Iodide (CAS# 10377-51-2) None established None established 0.5-3 SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, flood area with water or smother with a Class D fire extinguishant appropriate for lithium metal, such as Lith-X. Water may not extinguish burning batteries but will cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Virtually all fires involving lithium batteries can be controlled by flooding with water. However, the contents of the battery will react with water and form hydrogen gas. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture. In this situation, smothering agents are recommended. A smothering agent will extinguish burning lithium batteries. Emergency Responders should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium-iron disulfide batteries produce toxic and corrosive lithium hydroxide fumes and sulfur dioxide gas. SECTION IV - HEALTH HAZARD DATA Page 2 of 3 Lithium Iron Disulfide Batteries September 2007 ©2007 Energizer Under normal conditions of use, the battery is hermetically sealed. Ingestion: Swallowing a battery can be harmful. Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. If battery or open battery is ingested, do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical attention immediately. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE for advice and follow-up (202-625-3333) collect, day or night. Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air and seek medical attention. Skin Absorption: Dimethoxyethane and dioxolane may be absorbed through the skin, causing localized inflammation. Skin Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns. Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs or if irritation persists, seek medical attention. Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and chemical burns. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the chemical remains. Seek medical attention. Note: Carbon black is listed as a possible carcinogen by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). SECTION V - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. In locations that handle large quantities of lithium batteries, such as warehouses, lithium batteries should be isolated from unnecessary combustibles. Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required, consult your Energizer Battery Manufacturing, Inc. representative for precautionary suggestions. Do not obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation of batteries will not allow cell venting and can cause high pressure rupture. Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy, generate significant heat and can cause the safety release vent to open. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry, metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly of batteries into devices. Damaging a lithium battery may result in an internal short circuit. The contents of an open battery, including a vented battery, when exposed to water, may result in a fire and/or explosion. Crushed or damaged batteries may result in a fire. If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Energizer representative for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short circuit. Charging: This battery is manufactured in a ready-to-use state. It is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in some cases, can cause the…

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL FASTFIND/FASTFIND PLUS radiated power safety issues (A) OCCUPATIONAL LEVELS Reference: UK Health and Safety Manual, Chapter 9B – NON-IONIZING RADIATION. Paragraph 4. c., Electromagnetic/ Microwave Radiation: sic: “Sources not confined in a shielded chamber are to be operated such that exposure intensities to anyone near the apparatus is less than the guidelines listed in the latest edition of the "Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents and Biological Exposure Indices". Table 9-B-1 is an adaptation from the above reference giving exposure guidelines as a function of frequency. The guidelines are based on maintaining a whole body thermal load of 0.4 W/kg or less. Frequency (f) RMS Electric Field Strength (V/m) RMS Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Equivalent Plane Wave Power Density (mW/cm2) 30kHz-100kHz 614 163 100kHz-3MHz 614 16.3/f 3MHz-30MHz 1842/f 16.3/f 30MHz-100MHz 61.4 16.3/f 100MHz-300MHz 61.4 0.163 1 300MHz-3GHz f/300 3GHz-15GHz 10 15GHz-300GHz 10 For a transmission frequency of 406MHz, this corresponds to a power density of 1.353mW/cm 2 . The Equivalent Plane Wave Power Density is defined as: P = E 2 / 377, (W/m 2 ) where E is the field strength in V/m and 377 refers to the impedance of free space. The equation is only truly valid in the far field. The theoretical maximum radiated power from an EPIRB is 20W. Thus the field strength and Equivalent Plane Wave Power Density is POWER (W) DISTANCE (m) FIELD STRENGTH (V/m) POWER DENSITY (W/m 2 ) POWER DENSITY (mW/cm 2 ) 20 0.1 245 159 15.9 20 0.35 70 12.99 1.3 5 0.1 122.5 39.8 4 However, 1) the equation only applies to far field. The field strength in the near field is very difficult to quantify. COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL 2) The guidelines are for continuous transmission with a 6 minute average exposure. The 406 transmission is 0.52 seconds long every 50 seconds. This equates to 0.624 seconds/minute or 0.0104. It could be argued that this is equivalent to a continuous transmission 20dB lower than the 20W maximum. On this basis, even at a distance of 5cm, the ‘average’ power density is only 0.54mW/cm 2 . For the 121MHz transmission, the allowable limit is 61.4V/m. This equates to a ‘safe’ distance of 3cm. (A) GENERAL PUBLIC LEVELS The HSE document references IEEE/ANSI C95.1. This gives the occupational exposure level as 0.4W/Kg and the general public exposure level as 0.08W/Kg. For a transmission frequency of 406MHz, this corresponds to a power density of 0.27mW/cm 2 = 2.7W/m 2 . This equates to a maximum field strength of 2.7 x 377 = 31.9 V/m For an ERP of 20W, the ‘safe’ distance is 0.78m. For an ERP of 5W, the ‘safe’ distance is 0.39m If we assume that because of the short pulse and duty cycle of the transmission, the average ERP is 20dB less, then the ‘safe’ distance is 8cm. For the 121MHz transmission, the allowable limit is 12.3V/m. This equates to a ‘safe’ distance of 15cm. As the homing signal is 100% amplitude modulated, with a 35% duty cycle, the average heating power is some 4dB less. On this basis, the ‘safe’ distance is 9cm.
