Default ELT EPIRB

I stumbled across this ACE AquaFix 406 ELT EPIRB while looking for a
transponder:

http://www.anchorexpress.com/acr-aquafix-406-epirb.html

It contains a GPS that transmits your location in an emergency. ACR
also has a $75 rebate for participating dealers (and they DO have to be
participating), which this one is.

Does anybody know anything about this unit other than what you can read
on the web? I am assuming that you have to activate it manually (no
accelerometer crash activation).
