Important Information

WARNING:LifeTag System

The Raymarine LifeTag system is only an aid to crew safety, and must not be

relied upon as the vessel's main crew safety system. It is the responsibility of the

Captain and all crew members to ensure that all safety instructions and

procedures are in place and obeyed in accordance with local requirements.

Failure to operate this system in accordance with the operating instructions may

result in unreliable or reduced system performance.

WARNING:Lithium Batteries

The LifeTag System Tags use non-rechargeable lithium batteries. Do not attempt

to recharge these batteries. Do not incinerate these batteries. Ensure that these

batteries are replaced with a battery of the same type and check local

regulations when disposing of spent batteries. Incorrectly fitting batteries or

using the wrong battery types may result in un-reliable or reduced system

performance.

General Care & Safety

The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be

affected if a LifeTag or LifeTag Base Station is used next to them. Observe the makers

recommendations for such devices.

RF Energy

The LifeTag and Lifetag Base Station are low-power radio transceivers. When on, they

intermittently transmit RF energy (radio waves). The LifeTag and LifeTag Base Station are designed

to comply with the limits for RF energy exposure for the general population set by national

authorities and international health agencies, for example BS EN 50371:2002.

Intended Use

The LifeTag and LifeTag Base Station are intended as an aid to safety on leisure vessels and

small workboats.

D8986-1

If the LifeTag Base Station is connected to a Seatalk system which includes a SeaTalk chartplotter and GPS,

and a LifeTag alarm occurs, a MOB marker will be displayed on the chartplotter at the location of the MOB

event. In addition, the chartplotter and compatible Seatalk instruments (such as ST60+ and ST290 Graphic

instruments) will display a MOB 999 Waypoint Name, and range / bearing or latitiude/longitude to the MOB

location,plus elapsed time since the MOB event.

This occurs only with compatible products on SeaTalk systems. It does NOT occur on other products

connected via NMEA0183.

When an alarm condition exists, the Base Station optional, switched output provides 12 V as a switching

voltage, for external equipment.

The Alarm 'chirps' briefly, every 10 seconds

If the Base Station detects that a Tag battery voltage is low:

Tag low battery warning

If this occurs, all users should check their Tags for a

low battery voltage indication (2 RED flashes every

10 seconds). If necessary, replace the battery. D8987-1
