Possible anomalies:
The ARVA Evo3+ conducts a self-test every five minutes to check the status of the batteries, the
locking onto the frequency, transmission power, etc.
If the device detects an anomaly, a long 5-second beep will be heard, 3 times separated by 5
minutes. Two cases are possible:
• The capacity of the batteries has dropped to 20% (the device can still transmit for 48 hours or
search for 1⁄2 hour). After the long 5-second beeps, 20% will remain lit on the LCD display to
remind you to change the batteries as quickly as possible.
• Technical transmission or program problems, after the long 5-second beeps, the LCD screen
displays Er (= Error). Do not leave with the device in this last case.
