FAQ
Yes, it is compulsory. By registering your PLB, the Authorities know who you are and have all your contacts, this considerably improves the efficiency of a rescue and can save resources in the event of a false alarm.
Can I buy a PLB in one country and register it in another country.
As a rule PLBs should be purchased in your country of residence and must be registered with that countries national authority. Each PLB is supplied, pre-programmed to a specific country and can only be registered in the country for which it has been programmed. However, if you were to purchase a PLB in Ireland for registration in another country, you do have the option to have it re-programmed to the country code of your country of residence. Please enquire from us about our country code programming service.
How do I register my PLB?
Ireland - PLBs can be registered at the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg). See this website http://www.comreg.ie/licensing_and_services/personal_locator_beacons.715.html

Can I take my PLB with me when I visit a European country?
