Desktop pager

Be notified of RNLI lifeboat launches as they happen. 

The desktop pager launches and beeps when we have been notified of a launch.

• Keep informed of the latest launches.
• Choose to monitor all stations or selected stations.
• Includes an information banner telling you of latest RNLI information.
• Set it up to start up when your computer is switched on.
• Needs internet access to monitor launches.
• Mac OS X* and Windows XP & Vista versions available.

* At current OS X10.6 is not supported, we are looking to resolve this shortly.

New version available (version 1.2.3)

Updated February 2009, this version now has Gravesend lifeboat station added.

Note: The RNLI has tested this application on all mainstream/leading computer systems including Windows 2000, XP and Vista. However, due to the wide range of computer formats currently available we cannot guarantee that it will work satisfactorily in all instances. For this reason we are also unable to provide support for this application.

Due to operational reasons, the desktop pager notifies you of launches after the launch has happened.  In some cases the delay in the notification can be up to an hour.

Before downloading the pager please register your details.
