Disposing of your old beacon
It’s important to dispose of your old 121.5 or 243 MHz distress beacon properly. If you don’t, it could still be accidentally activated, causing an unnecessary search and rescue operation. Old beacons need to have their battery disconnected and then be disposed of in accordance with local regulation, as many contain hazardous materials.
A list of retail outlets that dispose of old beacons follows:
