The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 is the world's smallest, waterproof PLB. The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 can be single-handedly deployed to send your GPS location to emergency services in case of SOS.
You will be prompted to enter the country of reprogramming when you add this product to your basket. If you leave it blank, we will reprogramme it to the United Kingdom.
The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 is an ultra-compact Personal Locator Beacon designed to give you a direct way to call for Search & Rescue assistance when you're beyond mobile coverage.
Small enough to fit comfortably in your pocket, attach to your gear or integrate with compatible lifejackets, the PLB1 is an ideal emergency companion for hiking, sailing, climbing, kayaking, fishing and remote adventures.
And because it uses the international Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellite system, there are no monthly or annual subscription fees.
Global Emergency Assistance at the Push of a Button
When activated in a life-threatening emergency, the rescueME PLB1 transmits a powerful 406 MHz distress signal to the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network.
Built-in GPS helps provide Search & Rescue authorities with your location, while a separate 121.5 MHz homing signal helps rescue teams pinpoint your position as they approach.
Simply deploy the antenna, activate the beacon and position it with a clear view of the sky.
Ultra-Compact. Easy to Carry.
Measuring just 77 x 51 x 32.5mm and weighing approximately 116g, the rescueME PLB1 is designed to take up minimal space in your safety kit.
Its compact dimensions make it particularly well suited to activities where size and weight matter, whether you're carrying it in a backpack, attaching it to outdoor equipment or taking it offshore.
Built for the Outdoors
Its rugged housing is waterproof to 15 metres, while the integrated high-intensity strobe provides an additional visual signal to help rescuers locate you in low-light conditions.
Once activated, the beacon is designed to transmit for more than 24 hours, including operation in temperatures as low as -20°C.
7-Year Battery Life. No Charging Routine.
The rescueME PLB1 features a 7-year battery life, giving you years of emergency readiness without needing to remember another charging cable.
There's also no satellite subscription to maintain. Register your beacon, carry it with you and keep it ready for the moment you hopefully never need it.
Your Emergency Lifeline Beyond Mobile Coverage
When you're heading somewhere remote, relying on a mobile phone alone isn't always enough.
The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 provides a compact, dedicated emergency distress solution that connects you to the global Search & Rescue system when circumstances become life-threatening.
The rescueME PLB1 is an emergency distress beacon and does not provide two-way messaging. PLBs must be correctly registered with the appropriate national authority. The PLB1 does not float unless used with the supplied flotation pouch.
Programming & Registering Your rescueME PLB1
Programming Your PLB1
All PLBs supplied by GTC are programmed with the UK country code as standard and can be used worldwide.
If you require your PLB1 to be programmed for registration in another country, please contact us before ordering or dispatch.
Important Safety Information
The rescueME PLB1 should only be activated in situations of grave and imminent danger to life. False alerts can divert Search & Rescue resources and deliberate misuse may result in penalties.
PLBs do not operate underwater. If you intend to carry your beacon deeper than its specified waterproof rating, it must be protected in a suitable waterproof canister.
Register Your rescueME
Your PLB should be registered after purchase. Registration links your beacon's unique HEX ID to you and your emergency contacts, giving Search & Rescue authorities important information if it is ever activated.
You'll find the 15-character HEX ID on the beacon and its packaging.

Great
I have not used it and hope I never need to! But having it makes a huge difference to feeling safe about hiking alone. Great peace of mind, and small enough to take anywhere.
