- Very High Frequency (VHF) Radio
- VHF radio is the most common method of communication between boats. As such, part of the radio spectrum has been allocated specifically to maritime users, and this VHF marine band is the same worldwide
- Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
- DSC is an advanced, computerized form of VHF radio designed for marine use. When a distress call is made by pressing just one button on the radio, your identification and location may be automatically transmitted to the Coast Guard and other vessels in the area with a modern VHF radio. This function is only for emergency use
- Global Positioning System (GPS)
- GPS is a means for locating any point on the earth. On your Nautilus Lifeline, it allows your latitude and longitude position to be acquired as long as you have a clear view of the sky. This ensures that you can be found even without communicating your position
- Polycarbonate Housing
- Provides waterproof protection to a depth of 425' (130 m) so you can take your Nautilus Lifeline with you on every dive
- GPS Receiver
- Jupiter 3 GPS receiver shows your latitude and longitude on the LCD screen
- LCD Screen
- Shows GPS coordinates, number of satellites in view, channel in use, and battery level. When scrolling through the menu, the screen shows volume, squelch and channel selection
- Rechargeable Battery
- The 1850 mAh lithium-ion battery connects to any USB charger. The battery provides 30 minutes of talk time plus 24 hours of distress
- Attached Radio Clip
- Conveniently and securely attaches the Nautilus Lifeline to a D-ring. For ultimate convenience, order an optional DIVER Pouch (sold separately)
- Position Indication Light
- Flashes in distress mode to indicate diver position (especially useful after sunset)
- Charging Light
- Green light illuminates when unit is being charged
- VHF Whip Antenna
- Waterproof to IP67 standards. The antenna's range can be further extended by holding the unit above your head in distress mode. When your unit is not in use, store it with the cap open and the antenna fully extended
- Speaker / Microphone
- Splash-proof and functional in all sea conditions. Do not submerge. If incoming transmissions are muffled, hold unit upside down and gently tap on speaker grill to dislodge trapped or standing water
- Chat Button
- Allows you to chat to your dive boat or other divers on a regular transmission channel, or to change the channel to any marine VHF frequency
- Hail + Distress Button
- Allows you to talk to every boat within range on channel 16, the universal hail and distress channel on every marine radio worldwide. Users can change this channel to any marine VHF frequency. Software embedded in the unit prevents you from accidentally jamming the channel
- Lifeline Button
- Allows you to transmit a distress message and your GPS coordinates by using LocateMe Technology. Your message will be shown on the screen of all boats with modern marine radios. Their radios should automatically switch to channel 16, alarms will sound, lights will flash, and your GPS coordinates and emergency message should be shown on the screen of each radio. This function varies according to country and certification
- USB Port
- For recharging the battery. Also allows you to connect to a computer to change advanced settings or download a GPS log of dive sites
