[QUOTE="Whisp, post: 553027, member: 9598"] I don't know how you stand with an epirb used exclusively on land but if you change the battery yourself but in a maritime environment you are not allowed to do it yourself as it then becomes a "[b]Not Authorised[/b]" device, usually the expiry label is positioned over the join so you have to break that seal to change the battery. To return the device to an authorised service to have the battery replaced (and a new expiry date sticker) is as much as is buying a new one. Yes it's a rort. [/QUOTE]
