Raymarine's LifeTag Honored with High Hook Award 7/3/2007

LifeTag Man Overboard System Named One of the Most Innovative Products of the Year

Merrimack, N.H. - July 3, 2007 - Raymarine, Inc., a world leader in marine electronics, today announced that its LifeTag Man Overboard (MOB) System has been honored by Salt Water Sportsman magazine with the inaugural 2007 High Hook Award in the Safety category. The High Hook Awards honor the 11 most innovative fishing and boating products of the year, from gear that will help to catch more fish to revolutionary electronics that help keep people safe on the water.

The LifeTag MOB system is a personal wireless man overboard system, which provides critical safety data should a crew member fall overboard. In the event that one of the wearable LifeTag pendants is submersed in water, or moves a certain distance away from the boat, the system sounds a loud alarm and triggers visual alerts to all of the Raymarine displays and instruments on the network. LifeTag also records the GPS latitude and longitude of the boat's location at the time of the event, making it the target waypoint on all connected devices. In addition to the boat's location, Raymarine's displays provide critical search and rescue data including the elapsed time the crew member has been in the water and the water's current temperature.

The High Hook Awards were officially announced in Salt Water Sportsman's July issue, in which LifeTag is crowned the winner of the Safety category. The editors submitted products within each category to a barrage of on-the-water testsand then selected those, including LifeTag that they believe their readers, "can't fish without." Salt Water Sportsman states, "Hopefully, we'll never have to see LifeTag in action, but we'll always feel better when it's onboard."

"Raymarine is honored to be one of the first recipients of Salt Water Sportsman's High Hook Awards," said Terry Carlson, president of Raymarine. "This award underscores our commitment to developing innovative marine electronics products that not only enhance recreational boaters' on-the-water experience, but also raise the overall level of boating safety.

Each LifeTag MOB system is comprised of the LifeTag base station and two personal LifeTag pendants, which can be fitted to a person's wrist or attached to a belt, life jacket or safety harness. The base station handles communication with each pendant, provides outputs for external alarm siren and relay contact, and is equipped with SeaTalk networking capabilities enabling integration with Raymarine's chartplotters, radars and instruments. The station can run on 12 volt DC power or it can be powered by the SeaTalk bus. Personal LifeTags can operate for 2000 hours on CR2 Lithium camera batteries, which are supplied by Raymarine, and power on and off automatically for battery conservation. Extra LifeTags are sold separately and each system can monitor up to 16 tags simultaneously.
