Beware of Australian coded beacons sold online in New Zealand

Whilst it will function anywhere around the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the New Zealand Search and Rescue authorities with whom the PLB will be registered.
Registering your Personal Locator Beacon is required by law in New Zealand. Registering is very important because should your beacon ever be activated, it is how Search and Rescue Teams will know who you are, and contacts provided may be able to supply information about your specific travel plans. In the absence of this information, it may take longer for a search-and-rescue operation to begin.

PLBs have been proven, tried and tested in some of the world's most remote locations and treacherous conditions. Even in extreme conditions and situations

A PLB should only be used in situations of grave and imminent danger to life. False alerts endanger lives and cause expensive disruption to Search and Rescue services.

Bens Locator beacon story, January 2021
Trust me, when it all goes wrong you'll really wish you had a PLB

So me and a friend decided that a great way to start the new year would be going on a hunting trip. We organized everything we needed which included an emergency locator beacon which I hired from a Southland Locator Beacons hire outlet at Ballingers Hunting and Fishing in Addington. In the past I haven't always taken a beacon with me but this time I decided that as there was only the two of us going it would probably be best to have one. So we headed off down to the Hunters Hills behind Waimate. Originally we were planning on staying up in the hills for three days, two nights but on the evening of the first day it started raining. We had reception where we had camped and saw that the weather forecast had gotten far worse during the day and was now predicting severe rain and thunderstorms for the next couple of days. Although we had a vehicle which we were camping in we decided that it would be too miserable to stay up in the hills with that much rain and that there was a risk of getting stuck as the track was becoming very muddy. So the next day we decided to call the trip off and drive back down the hills from where we had camped which was at about 1,600m. Driving down the track I was aware that it would be slippery so I was in 4wd 2nd gear low range, just idling down not doing much faster than 20kph. When we were about 2.5 kms from where the track reached the road there was a tight hairpin corner which was sloping towards the outside edge. I was almost at the corner before I realized that we were sliding, by then there wasn't time to do anything about it so we slipped off the corner and immediately started bouncing and rolling down the steep hill. Around the 4th bounce I felt the roof touch my head then I was knocked out by the next one. When I woke up the truck was sitting on its side and my friend was talking to me, he had just climbed out of the vehicle at that point. After getting out we had to climb up the hill to try and find the first aid kit and the locator beacon as most of our stuff had been flung out of the truck while it was rolling. We did manage to find both of them and bandaged up some of our cuts then set off the locator beacon. After that we just set up the tent as a kind shelter and just waited to be rescued. It took them around 4 hours to find us as the weather was too bad for them to send in a helicopter but it sure seemed like ages. We got taken to hospital to be patched up which wasn't too hard as we had somehow only sustained fairly minor injuries, I had a concussion, sprained wrist and some cuts, the other guy only had a bunch of various cuts. All in all I am so grateful that we had the locator beacon with us and will always take one with me from now on. I know what it is like to think that you'll never need a locator beacon, but trust me, when it all goes wrong you'll really wish you had one. I highly recommend taking a locator beacon.
thanks so much, Cheers Ben

Warning you should not buy a Personal Locator Beacon from overseas
It is important to understand not to give in to temptation and purchase your distress beacon overseas, even at a considerable discount to the price from a local retailer. A distress beacon purchased from an overseas supplier may not comply with New Zealand standards and is unlikely to be New Zealand coded. This is a problem because Registration of 406 MHz distress beacons is a legal requirement in New Zealand and unless the beacon is re-coded, it cannot be registered in NZ with Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) also contact tracing is a lot slower if not a NZ registered unit
There is also the fact that back up support of an overseas beacon is going to be virtually nonexistent.
Registration is free and will result in a more efficient search and rescue effort. beacons transmit a unique code that identifies a particular beacon when it is activated. A NZ registered 406 MHz distress beacon will allow the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand to access the registration database and find contact details for the owner of that beacon in the event the beacon is activated.
Beacons are detected anywhere on the Earth’s surface by the world-wide global satellite system.
theres nothing illegal about using a beacon anywhere other than the country its registered in, it's just that The Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) prefer the beacon to be registered in the country its most likely to be used in, If a New Zealand coded distress beacon is activated overseas an alert will be sent to the Rescue Coordination Centre responsible for the region in which the emergency distress activation is occurring. A second notification is then be sent to RCCNZ where they'd have all the contact details at hand and would be easily able to call the registered emergency contacts to verify if it's a genuine emergency.
The two Rescue Coordination Centres will then work together to ensure a coordinated rescue is carried out.
Likewise, alerts from beacons registered in other countries that are activated in the New Zealand search and rescue region will be received by RCCNZ, and by the Rescue Coordination Centre the beacon is registered in.
