The transmitter
The Lifeline transmitter consists of a key tag which can
be attached to a crew member’s clothing by the built-in
clip or attached to a lanyard for additional security.
The tags are numbered from 1 through 8 and need to be
re-activated every 24 hours to ensure continuous
coverage.
If a crew member leaves the boat intentionally, their
tag must be de-activated to prevent a false alarm being
initiated.

Activated tags are shown in green, inactive tags are shown in grey.Moving the
cursor over a tag indicator will cause a yellow box to appear around it.

Lifeline alarm
The Lifeline receiver is constantly sampling the signals from all registered tags. If
it does not receive a reply from a tag, an alarm is automatically raised. This will
normally be within 10 seconds of the tag disappearing.
In the event of an alarm, the Lifeline data box will automatically expand onto the
left hand screen. It will show which tag has alarmed and give details of time
position, and the boat’s speed at the time of the alarm. A Man Overboard marker
will also be placed on the chart screen.
