Is the NEMO beacon compliant with the MMO UK Regulation ?

Do I have to install the beacon myself ?

After your purchase, you will be contacted by our local teams to arrange an appointment together for the beacon installation on your boat. There is no need for you to directly call an installer or try to assemble it yourself. CLS supports you in the whole
process! Our certified installers will then produce a document certifying the installation compliance and which will be required by the Regulatory Authorities.

How long can last the NEMO beacon battery ?

It is difficult to give a straight-forward answer as it depends on several parameters to be combined: sunshine duration, emission type, emission period, etc. You will need to periodically look at LED 1 and the flash color. If the flash produces an orange or red light, you need to recharge your battery using the USB port. The average default battery life observed is approximately one month.
