Know before you buy
The T2 maintains a constant Bluetooth connection with your mobile device or an OLAS receiver. If the signal is broken because you have moved beyond the connection range—typically when you fall into the water—the system immediately triggers an audible and visual alarm on your connected devices.
Yes, but you will need to integrate the T2 with an OLAS receiver rather than relying solely on the mobile app. While the app-only range is limited to 40 feet, an OLAS receiver setup can extend coverage to accommodate larger vessels.
When paired with a compatible OLAS receiver, the T2 can be configured to automatically cut the engine if the connection is lost. This ensures the boat stops moving immediately if the driver goes overboard, preventing it from sailing away.
Yes, the T2 carries an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water. It is specifically designed for marine environments and includes a wrist strap and lanyard for secure, everyday wear.
The T2 provides up to 7 days of battery life on a full charge. It recharges via a standard USB connection in approximately 2 hours, making it easy to top off before a weekend trip.
Yes, the OLAS system is designed to support multiple tags at once. You can connect several T2 transmitters to the same mobile app or receiver, allowing you to monitor the safety of every crew member on board.
