(e.g. speakers) as this may inadvertently activate the device
and cause a false alert.
Ĺś Do not dismantle the Mobilarm V100 as it contains no userserviceable parts.
Ĺś The Mobilarm V100 emits radio frequency radiation when in
use - avoid handling the FLEXIBLE ANTENNA at this time.
Ĺś The high intensity STROBE on the unit may cause discomfort
if it is viewed for long periods so avoid staring directly at it
when the device is active.
Caution
Ĺś Do not paint your Mobilarm V100 or clean it with detergents
or solvents. Seals may be damaged by cleaning materials
and affect the integrity of the device.
Ĺś If the device requires cleaning, ensure the ARMING SWITCH
is in the [OFF] position so that it cannot be activated by
contact with water and wipe with a damp cloth only.
Regular Testing
The Mobilarm V100 should be tested once every 3 months.
Testing the device more frequently is not recommended as
additional tests may shorten the battery life.

Mobilarm V100 Registration
Registering your ownership of a Mobilarm V100 with the
relevant national maritime authority for your region is mandatory.
Typically, this will be in the country of purchase.
Fill out the registration form with your contact details and the
MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number located on
the back of your device, and submit it to the relevant national
maritime authority for your region.

Global Positioning System
The Mobilarm V100 uses positional data derived from its
internal GPS ANTENNA WR GHÂżQH WKH ORFDWLRQ RI WKH PDQ
overboard and is therefore only as accurate as the positional
data it receives.
The GPS system is currently managed by the US Government
who can alter its effective accuracy.

Mobilarm V100 Overview
The Mobilarm V100 is a
fully
automated
Maritime
Survivor Locating Device
06/'  GHVLJQHG VSHFLÂżFDOO\
for the commercial marine
environment to ensure a quick,
effective rescue in a man
overboard emergency.
The Mobilarm V100 uses the
marine VHF radio band to
automatically transmit a man
overboard distress alert and
real-time coordinates of the person in the water to all VHF
DSC or VHF radio equipped vessels within range, including the
distressed mariner’s vessel.
The design, size and weight of the Mobilarm V100 means it can
be comfortably clipped onto webbing, life jacket or harness, or
carried in a pocket. For the device to transmit the emergency
message its antenna must be out of the water. The Mobilarm
V100 should therefore be worn at chest height not at waist
level.
Automatic Activation
The Mobilarm V100 is designed to be water-activated but it can
also be manually activated.
Automatic Distress Alert
Once activated, the Mobilarm V100 transmits a VHF DSC man
overboard distress alert to automatically notify all vessels in the
vicinity to the emergency.
v100_user_v5.indd 8
25/06/2009 2:16:58 PM
The device aquires a GPS lock and transmits the distress alert
DJDLQRQ'6&SURYLGLQJLGHQWLÂżFDWLRQDQGFXUUHQWORQJLWXGHDQG
latittude coordinates of the person in the water. The message
is also broadcast on the emergency marine radio channel (e.g.
channel16) in a synthesised voice.*
The device transmits the man overboard distress message at
UHJXODULQWHUYDOV DFFRUGLQJWRLWVRSHUDWLRQDOSURÂżOH WRHQDEOH
rescue teams to track the man overboard in the water.
The STROBE on the device is SOLAS compliant and assists
visual homing on the person in the water. The Mobilarm V100
battery will support emergency transmission for a minimum of
12 hours under normal operating conditions.
In-Water Tracking
Some DSC radios are able to output a waypoint of the
coordinates received in the Mobilarm V100 distress alert to a
FRPSDWLEOH *36 RU FKDUW SORWWHU7KLV ORJV WKH FDVXDOW\ÂśV ÂżUVW
known position and updates it with subsequent alerts.
This provides a graphical representation of the location of the
man overboard casualty in relation to the current position of
the vessel receiving the alert, as well as distance and bearing
information.
Refer to your radio owner’s manual to determine whether your
DSC radio is capable of sending NMEA0183-compatible data
to your GPS or chart plotter. Ensure that your GPS or chart

Testing the Mobilarm V100
Regular testing will ensure that your Mobilarm V100 remains
in good working order. The Mobilarm V100 should be tested
once every 3 months. Testing the device more frequently is not
recommended as additional tests may shorten the battery life.
The testing process includes a comprehensive series of checks
that may take several minutes to complete, depending on the
length of time required to obtain a GPS lock.
Warning
Ĺś If the Mobilarm V100 fails the initial self test or any test
in the sequence, TAKE THE DEVICE OUT OF SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY.
Ĺś DO NOT ignore a low battery warning as the device may
not operate to full capacity in a man overboard emergency.

Mobilarm V100 Test Options
There are two test options to check operation of the Mobilarm
V100.
1) Full Test (checks all functions).
2) Short test (checks a single function).
The full test requires access to water to test water activation.
Perform the test outdoors so that the Mobilarm V100 has a
clear view of the sky and can complete the GPS test.
The short test can be performed to check a particular function.
E.g. if a new radio is installed on a vessel, perform the VHF
voice transmission test to make sure it is working correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is the best place to wear a Mobilarm V100?
In order for the Mobilarm V100 to transmit the VHF distress alerts successfully, the
FLEXIBLE ANTENNA must be out of the water. This means that the unit is best
positioned high on the front of a person’s body, ideally at chest height. The WATER
SENSORS on the base of the unit must be submerged for at least 5 seconds to
automatically activate the device, otherwise the device must be manually activated.
A Remote Water-Sensing Extension Kit (part number MOA-00202) is also available
to extend the water sensing capability of the device, This allows a Mobilarm V100 to
be worn or mounted higher from sea level to achieve a wider alerting range but still
be water activated in an emergency.
The Mobilarm V100 is also available to purchase already embedded into a life jacket
(see www.mobilarm.com for further details) which ensures that it is in the most
effective position for water activation and emergency message transmission, while
DOVRDVVLVWLQJWKHFDVXDOW\WRUHPDLQDÀRDWDQGIDFHXSLQWKHZDWHU
Q: Is the Mobilarm V100 compatible with other safety or
man overboard devices such as a life jacket or Jon buoy?
Yes. The Mobilarm V100 CLIP allows it to be attached to any strap or harness that
can be threaded through the loops. The Mobilarm V100 is also available to purchase
already embedded into a life jacket (see www.mobilarm.com for further details).
Q: Can anyone replace the battery in a Mobilarm V100?
No. Battery servicing and/or replacement must only be carried out by an authorised
Mobilarm service agent. Failure to do so may compromise the integrity of the product
and will void the product warranty.
Q: Can a Mobilarm V100 be re-used once it has been
activated?
Perform a full test to check the state of the battery and how much battery life is
remaining in the device. If the battery test phase fails or the battery life is below
the minimum accepted for safe use, immediately take the device out of service and
contact your authorised Mobilarm service agent for a replacement.
If the device passes the full test, then the device may remain in service. Remember
to perform a full system test every 3 months to check that all functions are in proper
working order and that the remaining battery life has not dropped below the minimum
accepted for safe use.

v100_user_v5.indd 38
25/06/2009 2:17:09 PM
Q: Are there different antennae available to attach to the
Mobilarm V100?
Yes. A Long Range Dipole Antenna (part number MOA-00203) can be used instead
of the existing antenna when using the Mobilarm V100 with a life jacket or survival
suit.
Q: What is the procedure if I change to a different vessel
and want to continue using my Mobilarm V100?
Check whether the area of operation of the new vessel is governed by different
maritime regulations to your current area of operation because your Mobilarm V100
PD\QHHGWREHUHSURJUDPPHGZLWKDGLIIHUHQWRSHUDWLRQDOSURÂżOHLQRUGHUWRFRPSO\
with those regulations.
If your Mobilarm V100 is programmed with the MMSI number of your current vessel
then this must be reprogrammed to the MMSI number of the new vessel.
Contact your authorised Mobilarm service agent for assistance with reprogramming
your device.
Q: Is there any set-up required before the Mobilarm V100
will transmit GPS coordinates?
No. The Mobilarm V100 has an in-built 20-channel GPS receiver that will
automatically acquire a GPS lock and transmit position coordinates in the DSC and
voice distress alert.
Performing a full system test every 3 months will reassure you that the
GPS ANTENNA is operating properly and can acquire GPS coordinates.

Mobilarm V100 DSC distress alert logs a waypoint when a
man overboard event occurs?
Some DSC radios can output DSC and DSE messages via a NMEA connection.
When the VHF DSC radio receives the distress alert it may be able to output a
NMEA0183 sentence direct to a connected GPS or chart plotter and log a waypoint

Refer to your radio owner’s manual to determine whether your DSC radio is capable
of sending NMEA0183-compatible data to your GPS or chart plotter and if so, ensure

Disclaimer
The Mobilarm V100 is an emergency rescue transmission device that should only
be activated as a last resort. Misuse or false activation is unlawful and irresponsible,
and could result in prosecution or penalty.
The Mobilarm V100 should not be relied on as the only source of man overboard
QRWLÂżFDWLRQ DQG WKH YHVVHO RZQHU RSHUDWRU RU PDVWHU PXVW H[HUFLVH FRPPRQ
prudence and good seamanship at all times. Use of the Mobilarm V100 in no way
reduces liability of the vessel’s master and crew who have the primary responsibility
for safety on board.
No device is 100% fail safe nor can it guarantee safe rescue in an emergency. When
activated, the Mobilarm V100 broadcasts a distress alert via the VHF radio band to
all VHF DSC and VHF radio equipped vessels or stations within range but requires
subsequent human interaction to acknowledge and respond to the distress alert.
Satellite GPS lock and in-water tracking is dependent on the extent of satellite
system coverage and reception at the time and location of the emergency. The
actual time and success of rescue is therefore dependent on all these contributing
factors and as such, is outside the control of Mobilarm.
This owner’s manual contains important information that must be adhered to for
reliable use and operation of the product. It is the owner’s sole responsibility to make
the effort to read this manual and to ensure that the equipment’s operation and
limitations are understood.
