The ultra compact and stylish 406MHz SAFELINK heralds the arrival of the

an integrated antenna, enabling it to be such a compact size. The userreplaceable
battery makes future battery changes easier and more
economical for the leisure boat owners.

according to the Directive, ensuring a uniform application of international
instruments, including IMO Conventions, Resolutions and international testing
standards.
