当船只遇险沉没时，示位标会自动从释放装置中弹出并漂浮至水面，然后自动发射船舶自身信息和当前位置信息的北斗短报文信号，信号经北斗静止轨道卫星转发至地面搜救中心，实现覆盖亚太地区的及时救援。

　　The position indicator will pop up automatically from the release device and float on the water surface when the ship is in distress and sinking. Then, the Beidou short message signal on the ship information and the current location will be transmitted. Finally, the signal is transmitted to the ground search and rescue center by Beidou geostationary satellite, thus achieving timely rescue that covers the Asia-Pacific region.

　　相比传统406MHz EPIRB示位标，VEP8BD增加了取消报警功能，可对误发信号进行取消操作；VEP8BD还能接收搜救中心发出搜救进展情况，增强了遇险者获救信心。

　　Compared with traditional 406MHz EPIRB position indicator, VEP8BD adds the function of canceling alarm, which can cancel the wrong signal. Moreover, VEP8BD can also receive the progress in search and rescue issued by the search and rescue center, which enhances the confidence of persons in distress.

　　VEP8BD北斗卫星紧急无线电示位标根据最新标准进行设计，符合《国内航行海船法定检验技术规则》，并取得中国船级社（CCS）型式认可证书，适合国内各种船舶使用。

　　VEP8BD Beido Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon is designed according to the latest standards, which conforms to the “Technical Rules for Statutory Inspection of Domestic Navigating Vessels” and has obtained Type Approval Certificate of China Classification Society (CCS), so it is suitable for all kinds of domestic ships.
