🔍 Key Concepts

• How a 406 MHz EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is monitored by COSPAS-SARSAT and Rescue Coordination Centers • What authorities are normally notified when a false distress alert is transmitted on 406 MHz • The difference between self-test mode and transmit (distress) mode on an EPIRB

💭 Think About

• Think about who actually receives and processes a 406 MHz distress alert and who has the authority to cancel or clarify a false alert • Consider whether simply turning the unit off is enough once an alert has already gone out via satellite • Ask yourself which organization mariners are instructed to contact to explain an inadvertent distress alert on GMDSS equipment, including EPIRBs

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which agency runs the Rescue Coordination Centers (RCCs) that act on 406 MHz alerts in U.S. waters • Check standard guidance in GMDSS/EPIRB manuals on what to do after an inadvertent activation—does it involve the FCC, the Coast Guard, or automatic self-cancel? • Confirm whether a manual follow‑up communication is required after a false alert, or whether the system cancels it automatically after power is removed
