Enter beacon hexadecimal information then click 'Process'. Do not enter blank spaces before, after or between the hexadecimal characters. The length of the hexadecimal code must be either 15 or 23 characters for unique beacon identification numbers and accepts complete messages with encoded locations for first (FGB) and second generation beacons SGB of 30 or 36 Hex for FGB and 51 or 63 characters for SGB.
If the program complains that a character is out of range, check the data entered to ensure that all digits are hexadecimal characters. For example ensure that the numerical digit "0" was not mistakenly entered as the letter "O"; if all appears correct, then verify that that blank spaces have not been entered either before the first character, after the last character, or in between the characters of the beacon message. Place the cursor before the first character and depress the back-space key until the characters are flush against the left edge of the input box, then place the cursor immediately after the last character and press the delete key (this will remove any blank spaces that were copied into the decode box before or after the beacon message).
This tool tells you what information has been programmed into your beacon unique identifier or complete message. This beacon decode program tool is NOT a means of registering your beacon and will NOT register your beacon. You must ensure that you have properly registered your beacon at www.406registration.com or otherwise with the proper authorities using the hexadecimal identificaiton (Hex ID) of the beacon and up-to-date registration information (such as your name and emergency contact informtion).
