INSTRUCTIONS FOR SMRT SHIELD FITTING
How to Fit the sMRT Shield system to the Atlas 190 Hammar Life Jacket
These instructions will guide you through fitting your device into an Atlas lifejacket. Follow each step carefully to ensure it functions safely and correctly. Handle the lifejacket and all device components with care to avoid damage during installation.
Before You Begin
Make sure you're familiar with how your Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) works--especially how to disable and re-enable it. You'll need to do this during the fitting process. If unsure, please refer to your Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) manual." You will need a flat surface to work on.
Step 1: Open the Lifejacket
Open your Atlas lifejacket via the burst point and peel the cover apart to expose the inflatable bladder. Spread the bladder out flat, being careful not to catch or snag the manual inflation cord. (For more details on unpacking, refer to your user manual.) (Fig. 1)

Step 2: Install the Cradle Mounting System
Locate the two lower parallel slits on the right bladder lobe. Slide the cradle mounting system (included with your device) underneath the fabric, aligning its fixing points with the slits (Fig. 2a).
Place the device on top of the cradle and secure it firmly, following the OEM instructions (Fig. 2b).

Step 3: Attach the Security Lanyard
Use a bowline knot to attach the security lanyard through the back tether slot of the device. (Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b)

Step 4: Repack the Lifejacket
Repack the lifejacket as outlined in the Atlas manual--except make sure the device is folded on top, facing outward, and positioned as the uppermost layer above the bladder.

Step 5: Mark the Label
As a final step, locate the label tucked into the centre back panel of the lifejacket and mark it to indicate "PLB fitted." (Fig 5)
