• Installation and activation

The FastFind CREW1 is supplied, as default, with a clip to attach the device to lifejacket strap and an alternative clip which can be attached to the lifejacket’s oral tube. This clip can be installed on either side of the oral tube. Activation can be either manually or by water sensor activation.

Manual activation involves pulling off the red antenna cap to release the antenna and then pulling the activation tab off. The device will start transmitting alert messages immediately.

Water sensor activation requires you to pull off the red antenna cap to release the antenna, when the water sensor embedded at the bottom side of the device is immersed in water for more than 3 seconds, the device will be activated and starts transmission.
