Resolución 349 (REV.CMR-19) de la UIT "Procedimientos operativos para cancelar falsas alertas de socorro en el Sistema Mundial de Socorro y Seguridad Marítimos":

"Cuando por cualquier motivo se activa inadvertidamente una RLS, se interrumpirá inmediatamente la transmisión involuntaria y se informará al centro de coordinación de salvamento correspondiente a través de una estación costera o una estación terrena terrestre, y se anulará la alerta de socorro."

COSPAS-SARSAT:

"Inadvertent alerts

If a beacon is inadvertently activated, the beacon immediately should be turned off if possible. If the beacon does not have an “off” function, it should be shielded from the sky by placing it in a metal container (a solid metal box or a refrigerator, for example).

Because an alert likely will be received by the satellites even if the beacon was on for only a short time, you should immediately contact the agency in your region responsible for managing COSPAS-SARSAT distress alerts to prevent unnecessary assignment of search and rescue resources that may be needed for a real emergency somewhere else. If your region has a COSPAS SARSAT Mission Control Centre in the "Contact Lists" (select “MCC – Mission Control Centre” from the drop-down choices), please notify the Centre in your area. Otherwise select “SPOC – SAR Point of Contact” from the "Contact Lists" and notify them of your inadvertent alert. The "Contact Lists" are available under our Professional website.

There is no penalty for inadvertent activation of a beacon if there was no malicious intent."
