DOCUMENTATION 21
DISCLAIMER
The sMRT AU10-M is an MSLD 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 AU10-M 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 AU10-M 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 AU10-M is designed to transmit distress alerts to VHF DSC, AIS and 121.5 MHz equipped vessels or stations within range, but requires subsequent human interaction to acknowledge and respond to the distress alert. Satellite GNSS 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.
