當船只遇險沉沒時，示位標會自動從釋放裝置中彈出并漂浮至水面，然后自動發射船舶自身信息和當前位置信息的北斗短報文信號，信號經北斗靜止軌道衛星轉發至地面搜救中心，實現覆蓋亞太地區的及時救援。

　　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.

　　相比傳統406MHz EPIRB示位標，VEP8BD增加了取消報警功能，可對誤發信號進行取消操作；VEP8BD還能接收搜救中心發出搜救進展情況，增強了遇險者獲救信心。

　　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北斗衛星緊急無線電示位標根據最新標準進行設計，符合《國內航行海船法定檢驗技術規則》，并取得中國船級社（CCS）型式認可證書，適合國內各種船舶使用。

　　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.
