Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Nautilus nexGen LifeLine require registration or a subscription?
No. The Nautilus nexGen LifeLine requires no MMSI, license, registration, subscription or service fee. It operates worldwide on common marine AIS and DSC frequencies as soon as it is turned on, with no ongoing costs after purchase.
How far can the Nautilus LifeLine's distress signal reach?
Range depends on the receiving antenna's height. The manufacturer has demonstrated signals reaching up to 34 miles (about 55 km) to an elevated or hilltop antenna, while a typical range to a nearby skiff at sea level is up to 5.5 miles (about 9 km).
How deep can the Nautilus nexGen LifeLine be taken diving?
It is depth rated to 425 feet (130 meters) when the dive cap is closed. With the dive cap open, the unit is splash-proof rather than dive-rated, so divers should keep the cap closed for any underwater use.
