Review: Easy to install and program. - I haven't had to use it in anger, i.e., I haven't fallen off the boat and had to be rescued. But there was no issues programming it online, installing, and testing it.
Review: Good unit. Installation directions - not so good. - If you are going offshore, you need this on your auto-inflate life vest. It issues a MOB signal over AIS which means any vessel within twenty miles will know you went overboard and will have your GPS coordinates. With that said, the device seems well-built and definitely works. However, following the instructions, we still managed to set these off each time we installed one. We installed them while at a calm anchorage. I could hear the MOB alarms go off on nearby boats. Until they improve the installation instructions, it is highly recommended that you install these while on shore.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this activate? Hydrostatic?**
A: You can activate it manually  or it has an auto deploy via rip cord. The unit attaches to the manual inflate tube on the life jacket and there is a cord that attaches via an adhesive strip to the inflated part of the jacket. So, when the jacket deploys it pulls the rip cord and activates the device.

**Q: Can i test this with my chart plotter, that it sets a mob waypoint?**
A: Yes, but the chart plotter has to be connected to an AIS transceiver, then configure your chart plotter to show the AIS targets on screen.

**Q: Are you able to re-program a new mmsi for a different boat later?**
A: I don't have my device and instructions available to me right now (winter storage) but knowing how it is programmed, I would be astounded if it could not be.

**Q: Could this be used as a Solo Sailer? Can it be programmed to somehow disengage the autopilot so the boat would turn into the wind?**
A: This can be used at sea and would need to be on the person at all times. This type of device cant be programmed.
