Remember - you must register your new beacon. This means Search and Rescue can contact you to verify an activation. This can improve search response time and help cut down on false alarms. Once your beacon is registered, you will need to keep your details up to date and notify the register if the beacon changes ownership.

Registration is FREE .
To register your beacon, call the Rescue Coordination Centre NZ on 0800 406 111 or 0508 406 111.
