SECONDARY AVALANCHE | AUTO-SEARCH-TO-SEND
The Black Diamond Guide BT/Recon BT provides the feature Auto-Search-to-Send.
By default, it is disabled and can be enabled in the PIEPS APP device manager. Once
enabled, the device switches from search mode to send mode automatically after a cer-
tain time without motion (burial).
GROUP CHECK
Despite a comprehensive self-check, a beacon check (transmit check and receive check)
is obligatory prior to every tour! The Black Diamond Guide BT/Recon BT provides the
group check function. In group check mode the receiving range is limited to 1 m.

SIGNAL SEARCH (5A)
Walk the search strip width in the search area quickly. The recommended search strip width
for the Black Diamond Guide BT/Recon BT is 60 m. The display shows "no signal" (5A1).
COARSE SEARCH (5B)
As soon as a signal is received, follow the direction indication quickly and see if the distance
reading goes down. If the distance reading increases, change your direction by 180°.

FINE SEARCH (5C)
The direction arrow disappears at a distance reading of 2 m. Look for the point of the
lowest distance reading. Work slowly and on the surface of the snow.
PINPOINTING (5D)
Check the search result by systematic probing. On a hit, leave the probe stuck.
MULTIPLE BURIAL (5E)
A multiple burial is indicated clearly on the display by the number of small human figures
(2G, 2H).
Marking is possible from a distance reading of 5 m and is indicated by the MARK symbol
(2E). Press the MARK button (1D) briefly to "hide" the localized transmitter. A successful
flagging is confirmed by a frame around the human figure (2J). The display then indicates
the direction/distance to the next strongest signal inside the receiving range.
