Detailed description
Detailed description
The Garmin OnBoard™ System is designed as a key safety element at sea, fitting within Garmin’s range of safety beacons and MOB (Man OverBoard) buttons. While detailed technical specifications for this system are not provided in the current documentation, its positioning under the "OnBoard™ System" designation suggests integration with Garmin’s marine electronics ecosystem, offering essential onboard safety functionality.
Integration and Functionality
This system is likely intended to complement other Garmin equipment by providing rapid triggering or signaling capability in the event of a man-overboard situation. Similar to individual MOB beacons or PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons) on the market, the Garmin OnBoard™ System aims to enhance rescue operation responsiveness and efficiency. The documentation highlights the presence of a coin cell battery, a critical detail for maintenance and safety that requires careful attention to prevent ingestion risks, as specified in the manufacturer’s important warnings.
Compliance and Garmin Warranty
Like all Garmin products, the Garmin OnBoard™ System complies with environmental standards (WEEE, RoHS, REACH) and European directives (2014/53/EU), as well as FCC and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada regulations. The product is covered by Garmin’s one-year limited warranty for defects in materials or workmanship under normal use, ensuring the reliability and customer support expected from the brand. This warranty excludes cosmetic damage, consumables (except material defects), and damage resulting from improper use or unauthorized modifications.
