More information

You can greatly reduce the chance of being contacted should the distress beacon be activated, by encouraging the buyer to phone our office on 1800 406 406 and register the distress beacon in their name. This will ensure that you are no longer the 24/7 emergency contact.

If you have a beacon coded with a foreign country code, or if you do not know what country code has been used, contact us for advice at:
