INTRODUCTION

WARNINGS & SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS:
· The sMRT ALERT is a local area Maritime Survivor Locating Device (MSLD), that transmits emergency messages via VHF DSC and the wearer's GNSS position via AIS.
· Before first use, perform a full system test to confirm that the device functions correctly.
· Once fitted into a PFD, a full system test of the sMRT ALERT should be performed every 3 months. Do not test the device more than once per month to avoid affecting battery performance in an emergency.
· The sMRT ALERT should only be used in marine environments and is NOT for use on land.
· The sMRT ALERT should ONLY be used in an emergency. DELIBERATE MISUSE MAY INCUR A SEVERE PENALTY.
· Annual inspection and recertification of the sMRT ALERT by an authorised service partner is recommended every 12 months to ensure optimum performance.
· The sMRT ALERT must be serviced by an authorised service partner every 5 years.
· Do not dismantle the sMRT ALERT as it contains no user serviceable parts. Authorised service partners offer a full and comprehensive service and repair facility for recertification of units and battery replacement.
· The high intensity strobe light on the unit may cause discomfort if it is viewed for long periods. Avoid staring directly at it when operational.
· The sMRT ALERT uses positional data derived from its internal GNSS antenna to define the location of a man overboard. A clear view of the sky is required to obtain a GNSS position.
· Please note that the device is only as accurate as the positional data it receives.
· The sMRT ALERT contains lithium batteries; do not puncture, deform, short circuit, recharge or incinerate the sMRT ALERT. Doing so will VOID the product warranty.
· Avoid handling the antenna unnecessarily when activated.

VERSION 1.0 | APRIL 2024 | EN

INTRODUCTION

· The sMRT ALERT must only be fitted to PFDs approved by the manufacturer. A full list of these can be found online.
· Only manufacturer approved and supplied attachment kits are to be used to fix the unit to the PFD.
· It is the user's responsibility to ensure that any ancillary equipment, such as survival suits/harnesses, PPE, belt pouch, clothing etc., does not interfere with the operation of the sMRT ALERT.
· The sMRT ALERT will not float, so please attach a lanyard restraint when near water to prevent loss.
· To avoid damaging or losing the device, please ensure that it is attached to a lanyard through the eye hole on the rear of the unit.
· Do not put the device in the carry pouch when mounted in a life jacket.
CAUTIONS:
· Do not paint the sMRT ALERT or clean it with aggressive detergents or solvents. Some cleaning materials may damage the seals and affect the integrity of the device. This will VOID the product warranty.
· To ensure the sMRT ALERT operates as intended in an emergency:
· Avoid dropping the unit
· Avoid leaving the unit in direct sunlight, or in an environment where it will be exposed to high temperatures.
· Inspect the device periodically for signs of wear and tear, visible cracks or other damage.
If any damage is found, DO NOT USE and contact an authorised service partner.

sMRT ALERT OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION
The sMRT ALERT is a multi-system Personal Locating Device designed to RTCM Standard 11901.1 and EU standard EN 303 132 for use during a man overboard (MOB) emergency.
The integration of VHF DSC and AIS technologies equips mariners in distress with life-saving technology to vastly improve the likelihood of rapid location and recovery by a vessel or Search and Rescue (SAR) authorities.
HOW THE sMRT ALERT WORKS
The sMRT ALERT uses the marine VHF radio band to transmit DSC distress alerts and updated GPS positions regularly from the casualty in the water to VHF DSC radios, as well as AIS equipped vessels within range. A short delay period prior to activation is designed to avoid the device being activated accidentally.
The sMRT ALERT transmits AIS and emergency VHF DSC transmissions during activation. The sMRT ALERT uses an internal GPS receiver to acquire a position within one minute of activation. The device then sends VHF DSC and AIS transmissions containing the device's current position.

14 HOW TO USE THE DEVICE
PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION
The sMRT ALERT features an ARMING DOOR to prevent the device from being accidentally activated. In addition, manual activation is a two-stage process, requiring the user to open the ARMING DOOR and slide the ARMING SWITCH to the [ARMED] position to arm the device. The user must then press the ON BUTTON to activate the device. If the device is accidentally activated, the user can slide the ARMING SWITCH to [OFF] before transmissions commence. HOW TO HELP PREVENT FALSE ALARMS · Keep the device away from young children and educate all users in device
operation and the ramifications of false alarms. · Ensure that the device is stored in a dry and cool environment.

16 HOW TO USE THE DEVICE
TESTING
A full system test is performed on the sMRT ALERT, at the point of manufacture. Before first use, we recommend carrying out a full self-test on the product. After deployment into active service, it is recommended that a full system test of the sMRT ALERT should be performed every 3 months. DO NOT test the device more than once per month as this could affect battery performance in an emergency. For optimum performance, it is recommended that the device be returned to an authorised service agent for annual service and recertification.
WARNINGS: 1. Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky during testing to receive a GPS signal. 2. If the sMRT ALERT fails any element of a self-test or any full system test, take it out
of service immediately.
VERSION 1.0 | APRIL 2024 | EN

18 HOW TO USE THE DEVICE
FULL SYSTEM TEST
1. The LED indicators shows battery condition [GREEN] is good, [RED] means replace the battery. During stage 1 the GNSS is activated to look for satellites.
2. The AIS test burst is transmitted -- LED indicator is purple. 3. The DSC test message is transmitted -- LED indicator changes to white. 4. The beacon waits for a DSC acknowledgement for up to 2 minutes --
LED indicator is white 5. When a DSC acknowledgement is received the LED indicator turns green
indicating [SUCCESS].
IMPORTANT NOTE: During any test, if a RED LED is displayed, the device should be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer or an authorised service agent. If the LEDs do not show [RED], the unit has passed the VHF DSC & AIS test and is fit for purpose.
During the test procedure a single burst AIS and VHF DSC message is transmitted in accordance with the international standards. Depending on conditions during testing, it is possible that an AIS and/or VHF DSC transmission may not be picked up by the receiving equipment. If an AIS message and/or VHF DSC transmission is not displayed on the receiver this does not indicate that the device is faulty. Only when and if a RED LED is displayed, should the device be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer or an authorised service agent.
CANCEL A FULL SYSTEM TEST
Press and hold the TEST BUTTON.

DISCLAIMER
The sMRT ALERT 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 sMRT ALERT should not be relied on as the only source of man overboard notification and the vessel owner, operator or master must exercise common prudence and good seamanship at all times. Use of the sMRT ALERT 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 sMRT ALERT is designed to transmit distress alerts to VHF DSC and AIS 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 the manufacturer.
This user 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. Visit the manufacturer's website www.smrtsos.com to download the latest user manuals for all products. The manufacturer reserves the right to change specifications, equipment, installation and maintenance instructions without notice as part of the company's policy of continuous product development and improvement.
