Never before has their been an item of electronic equipment so important to your personal safety. Raymarine will revolutionise on boating safety with this ground breaking new release, LifeTag, available to pre-order now from R Electronics.

Each LifeTag pendant broadcasts a unique identification code back to the LifeTag base station, telling it that its wearer is “safe”. In the event of “man overboard”, the link between the victim’s pendant and the LifeTag base station is broken and the alarm is raised automatically onboard the boat.

SeaTalk integration links LifeTag to your Raymarine Multifunction Displays and Instruments, automatically providing critical safety data when needed most.

LifeTag can trigger the automatic man overboard in Raymarine SeaTalk compatible chartplotters, radars and instruments. SeaTalk network integration triggers vital actions automatically such as:

Sounding the SeaTalk network MOB alarm, providing audible and visual alerts to all stations.
Recording the GPS latitude/longitude of the MOB event, and making it the target waypoint on all connected SeaTalk devices
Displaying critical search and rescue data (SAR) including:
Boat's position at the time of the incident.
Elapsed time in the water.
Water temperature.
Bearing and range back to the MOB position.
Lowering the range scale on connected Raymarine chartplotter and radar displays to the lowest possible range scale, enhancing seeing the victim on radar and facilitating manoeuvring to recover the victim.
LifeTag will be available in Australia from October 1st 2006. Riviera Electronics are taking pre-registration orders now. Please call or e-mail now to become one of the first in Australia to truly personalize the safety aboard you Riviera.
