Sold with the included daytime distress flag, the ResQFlare and accompanying flag are certified to meet the applicable U.S. Coast Guard requirements allowing them to be carried in lieu of traditional pyrotechnic flares (U.S. only) on vessels subject to 33 CFR 175.130 (primarily recreational boats). As a convenient alternative to pyrotechnic flares, the ResQFlare provides 360° visibility for over 6 miles and its efficient design allows for substantial operational life (burn time), drastically increasing your chances of survival and rescue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResQFlare Benefits vs. Traditional Pyrotechnic Flares:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo expiration date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily safe (no burning flame)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to operate (so even your kids and first-time boaters can operate it in the event of an emergency)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo issues with the existing stringent mandatory disposal requirements for pyrotechnic flares (legally considered as hazardous materials)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof and Buoyant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-time purchase (less cost over the life of the product)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResQFlare Benefits vs. Traditional Pyrotechnic Flares:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ResQFlare facilitates rescue by emitting the flash characteristic for the International Morse Code for S-O-S. Operating on just two user-replaceable C-Cell Alkaline batteries, the ResQFlare’s high-efficiency electronics allow it to maintain the USCG required 75 cd peak equivalent fixed intensity for over 20 hours (more than 3 times longer than the USCG requirement for maintaining this level of light intensity). With its user-replaceable battery power source, the ResQFlare provides years of service while also negating common inconveniences of pyrotechnic flares including their expiry dates and stringent mandatory disposal requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeeting the requirements of 46 CFR 161.013, the ResQFlare is classified as an approved Night Visual Distress Signal. Given that a Distress Flag, meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 160.072, is included in the package with every ResQFlare, users are also provided with an approved Day Visual Distress Signal (the requirement for carriage of approved day and night visual distress signals can be found in 33 CFR part 175).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied Distress Flag provides numerous daylight signaling options. The flag can be flown by attaching to the mast or simply hoisting to the highest possible point. It can also be displayed by hand, tied to, and then waved on items such as a boat hook, paddle, or fishing rod, or it can be laid flat on the deck to attract aircraft. The flag should be used only as a day signal and when displayed correctly, the black square should be over the black circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarriage of the ResQFlare and Distress Flag together allows boaters to forego the requirement for traditional pyrotechnic flares when on vessels up to 65’ in length, boating on the Great Lakes, within 12 miles of U.S. waters, or on any body of water with a passageway to the sea at least two miles wide. Vessels less than 16’ are not required to carry a Day Visual Distress Signal but must still carry a Night Visual Distress Signal, making the ResQFlare a more than viable alternative to pyrotechnic flares for vessels of this size as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of the ResQFlare to ACR’s line of boating safety gear provides U.S. recreational boaters with a comprehensive distress signaling solution. When paired with an ACR EPIRB or Personal Locator Beacon, USCG rescue personnel not only know where you are within minutes but also have a visual reference light to home in on from up to 6 miles away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features and Benefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResQFlare and included Distress Flag, when carried together, qualify as a replacement for the carriage of USCG pyrotechnic flares (the U.S.A. only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright light in all directions (360° visibility)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and compact in size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatically rights itself and floats when in the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible over 6 miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-Replaceable C-Cell Alkaline Batteries (Not Included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh intensity LED strobe maintains a minimum peak equivalent fixed intensity of 75 cd for 20 hours or greater (room temperature)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe operational life of 20 hours is over 3 times longer than the USCG requirement for maintaining peak equivalent fixed intensity of 75 cd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable design: Fire-resistant, Oil-resistant, Fungus-resistant, \u0026amp;

Sold with the included daytime distress flag, the ResQFlare and accompanying flag are certified to meet the applicable U.S. Coast Guard requirements allowing them to be carried in lieu of traditional pyrotechnic flares (U.S. only) on vessels subject to 33 CFR 175.130 (primarily recreational boats). As a convenient alternative to pyrotechnic flares, the ResQFlare provides 360° visibility for over 6 miles and its efficient design allows for substantial operational life (burn time), drastically increasing your chances of survival and rescue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResQFlare Benefits vs. Traditional Pyrotechnic Flares:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo expiration date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily safe (no burning flame)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to operate (so even your kids and first-time boaters can operate it in the event of an emergency)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo issues with the existing stringent mandatory disposal requirements for pyrotechnic flares (legally considered as hazardous materials)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof and Buoyant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-time purchase (less cost over the life of the product)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResQFlare Benefits vs. Traditional Pyrotechnic Flares:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ResQFlare facilitates rescue by emitting the flash characteristic for the International Morse Code for S-O-S. Operating on just two user-replaceable C-Cell Alkaline batteries, the ResQFlare’s high-efficiency electronics allow it to maintain the USCG required 75 cd peak equivalent fixed intensity for over 20 hours (more than 3 times longer than the USCG requirement for maintaining this level of light intensity). With its user-replaceable battery power source, the ResQFlare provides years of service while also negating common inconveniences of pyrotechnic flares including their expiry dates and stringent mandatory disposal requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeeting the requirements of 46 CFR 161.013, the ResQFlare is classified as an approved Night Visual Distress Signal. Given that a Distress Flag, meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 160.072, is included in the package with every ResQFlare, users are also provided with an approved Day Visual Distress Signal (the requirement for carriage of approved day and night visual distress signals can be found in 33 CFR part 175).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied Distress Flag provides numerous daylight signaling options. The flag can be flown by attaching to the mast or simply hoisting to the highest possible point. It can also be displayed by hand, tied to, and then waved on items such as a boat hook, paddle, or fishing rod, or it can be laid flat on the deck to attract aircraft. The flag should be used only as a day signal and when displayed correctly, the black square should be over the black circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarriage of the ResQFlare and Distress Flag together allows boaters to forego the requirement for traditional pyrotechnic flares when on vessels up to 65’ in length, boating on the Great Lakes, within 12 miles of U.S. waters, or on any body of water with a passageway to the sea at least two miles wide. Vessels less than 16’ are not required to carry a Day Visual Distress Signal but must still carry a Night Visual Distress Signal, making the ResQFlare a more than viable alternative to pyrotechnic flares for vessels of this size as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of the ResQFlare to ACR’s line of boating safety gear provides U.S. recreational boaters with a comprehensive distress signaling solution. When paired with an ACR EPIRB or Personal Locator Beacon, USCG rescue personnel not only know where you are within minutes but also have a visual reference light to home in on from up to 6 miles away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features and Benefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResQFlare and included Distress Flag, when carried together, qualify as a replacement for the carriage of USCG pyrotechnic flares (the U.S.A. only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright light in all directions (360° visibility)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and compact in size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatically rights itself and floats when in the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible over 6 miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-Replaceable C-Cell Alkaline Batteries (Not Included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh intensity LED strobe maintains a minimum peak equivalent fixed intensity of 75 cd for 20 hours or greater (room temperature)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe operational life of 20 hours is over 3 times longer than the USCG requirement for maintaining peak equivalent fixed intensity of 75 cd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable design: Fire-resistant, Oil-resistant, Fungus-resistant, \u0026amp;
