ACR Rescume MOB-1

The device uses a combination of AIS (Automatic Identification System) and DSC (Digital Selective Calling) technology. Once activated, it broadcasts an emergency signal to all AIS-equipped vessels within a 5-mile range and can trigger a DSC alarm on your vessel's radio to alert your crew immediately.

The MOB-1 is designed specifically for compact integration. It is small enough to fit into most modern inflatable lifejackets, though you should check your specific lifejacket's manual or pocket dimensions to ensure a secure, obstruction-free fit.

No, the device is designed for automatic activation. Once it is properly installed in your lifejacket, it will trigger automatically when the lifejacket inflates, ensuring it works even if you are incapacitated.

Once activated, the MOB-1 provides at least 24 hours of continuous operational life. This ensures rescue teams have a substantial window to locate you, even in challenging conditions.

The integrated strobe light is designed primarily to enhance visibility in low-light and nighttime conditions. While it may be visible during the day, its main purpose is to help rescuers pinpoint your exact location when ambient light is poor.

The battery has a 7-year storage life. ACR recommends checking the expiration date on the unit and replacing it according to the manufacturer's schedule to ensure the device remains reliable when you need it most.
