ACR ResQLink 400 - SOS Personal Locator Beacon with GPS (Model: PLB-400) ACR 2921

Bought for hiking and was happy with the unit. Until I went to test and it failed the battery test. Had to drive two hours to the nearest authorized battery replacement dealer; informed it was not the battery, I needed to contact the company about warranty. Good luck! Customer service sucks...if you can even get hold of someone!

Getting it registered wasn’t easy but not the fault of Amazon or the company that made it.

Got this for my son while he jet skis Had it for approx 3 months Noticed it was full of rust Went to test Obliviously nothing works Good thing he did not need it for a emergency

I couldnt give any stars for the battery life because I just got it , I assume its battery will last like it says. This was very easy to register online . The instructions were very simple on how to use it . As far as I know it will work , i did run the test and it passed. Size wise its about like a small version of the old clunky cell phones and not super heavy but heavier than the average cell phone . Id say worth the money for the peace of mind. I think anyone that goes out on the water should have one of these . Things can go very wrong very quick.

This will SAVE YOUR LIFE !!!

Actually I hope never to use it, but if the need arose I suspect this unit would be helpful. This replaces a McMurdo Fast Find which Ive had for 8 years and never used. The battery in the Fast Find still shows full charge after all these years, but I thought it best to replace and upgrade. Both are fine units, I just appreciated the longer signal life on the ResQLink. The only downside is the belt clip is close to impossible (dont give up) to attach to the unit and for all the trouble the closure on the belt clip is too wide and doesnt stay on your belt or pack. Also, the antenna can and does deploy when thrown in a bag or pack. Not a big deal, just an inconvenience.

But also make sure not to confuse the manufacture date (to the immediate right of the uin and in black on white) with the battery life (black on yellow)....wasnt very visible when I went to register the product. If you register any product ever, this is one not to skip. You might not know what kind of product you have. They changed the website so the warranty registration was under a link leaving me to wonder how current the product was. Glad to find out it exp in 2026, not 2020

I need one to go offshore. It did the job I need it to.

Purchased this for my parents. 1 week past the return deadline they tried to register it and found out its for the United Kingdom, not the US as advertised. So now it appears Im stuck with a $400 paper weight.

My husband purchased this and was very pleased with the ease of setting up and registering. We have had to use it yet, but definitely gives me piece of mind knowing we have it with us.
