ACR ResQLink 400 Advanced Floating PLB
In New Zealand, all PLBs must be registered before use.
Registration is free and ensures rescue services have your contact details and trip information if the beacon is activated.
After purchase, register your PLB with Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ). Registration should be updated whenever your contact details or typical activities change.
Using an unregistered PLB may delay rescue response. Frequently Asked Questions Does the ACR ResQLink 400 require a subscription?
