Universal: Works everywhere on the planet with all marine radios installed since June 1999 on ships, yachts, fishing boats, tugs and every other boat on the water. Utilizes dual DSC and AIS technology on VHF radios.

No user MMSI registration required: Your Lifeline comes with a factory programmed MMSI number.

Waterproof: With the outer lid closed, your LifeLine is diver-tough rated to 425 ft. Just make sure to keep your o-ring clean and dry, as dirt and hair might allow water ingress.

Accuracy: Accuracy greater than 1.5 metres. Range for someone in the water to a skiff is demonstrated to be 5-6 miles. The higher you hold your LifeLine, the better the range. Demonstrated maximum range to an elevated antenna is 54 km.

5 year battery life: Provides 98 hours of use on a full battery.

DSC/AIS technology? What do I have to do? Every LifeLine is programmed at our factory with an MMSI number, enabling AIS functionality as soon as you turn your unit on. Due to FCC requirements, DSC is not factory activated. Please download our easy-to-use app and use the built-in optical sensor to activate DSC as appropriate.

Positively buoyant? Yes, even with the lid open, your unit is positively buoyant in salt water. Your LifeLine is IP68 watertight with the lid open.

Warranty: 1 year. We fully support older units as well, of course.
