INTERFERENCE
Electronic, magnetic and metallic objects and equipment can naturally
interfere with avalanche transceivers.
Possible sources of inference are smartphones, (action)cameras, radio
equipment, sports watches, GPS devices, power banks and electricity
lines, ski lifts etc.
IN SEND AND STANDBY MODE, possible sources of interference must
be at least 20 centimeters from the transceiver.
IN SEARCH MODE, possible sources of interference must be at least
50 centimeters from the transceiver. Ideally, you should turn off all other
electronic devices.
SEND MODE
Send mode is the normal operating mode in terrain
S E N D
where there is a risk of avalanches. If the toggle switch
is in the SEND position the send display shows. To save
power, this display switches off when the device is in
the dark (device in carrying system), although the
transceiver is still transmitting. The display is
S t a n d b y
reactivated by daylight or by pressing the button.
HOW TO CARRY THE DEVICE
Secure the safety loop in the eyelet at the bottom
of the transceiver. We recommend that you carry
the transceiver in the carrying system. Keep the
display facing your body and slide it in with the
toggle switch end inserted first. The quick-access
closure and waist belt buckle must be closed.
Secure the device by placing the safety loop in
the carabiner. The carrying system must always
be covered by one layer of clothing. If you are only
wearing one layer of clothing, we recommend that
you carry the transceiver in a zipped pocket (not an
outside patch pocket).
