4.2 CARRYING SYSTEM
BLACK DIAMOND recommends using the included carrying system
(3A). In order to protect the beacon's display, carry the beacon with
its display facing inwards (3B) and the transmit control LED (1G)
visible (3C). Secure the device through the lanyard hole (1I) with the
included lanyard (3D).
DANGER

Always carry the device in the included carrying system! Always have the device cord-secured!
4.3 SWITCHING ON | SELF-CHECK | SEND MODE
NOTICE
Despite a comprehensive self-check, a beacon mode check (SEND check and SEARCH check) is
obligatory prior to every tour! Every member of the group must verify that both the SEND and
SEARCH modes are functioning correctly.
Switching on: Slide the switch lock (1C) away from the Switch (1B) and rotate the Switch (1B) clockwise into the
position SEND. Release the switch lock (1C). Check that the switch lock (1C) is fully engaged and that the switch is
locked in place.
DANGER
Risk of incorrect switch position
Always physically verify the Switch is securely locked into position: 'SEND'. The Switch (1B)
should not rotate unless the switch lock (1C) is dis-engaged.
The display shows firmware version, battery capacity, self-check progress (4A), self-check result (4B), group check
countdown (4C) and finally the send display with the active transmitting antenna (4D).
The device is now in SEND mode, the transmit control LED (1G) is blinking.
NOTICE
A minimum distance of 5 m from other devices and all electronic, magnetic and metallic sources
of interference should be kept during the self-check.
If the self-check is successful, "OK" is indicated on the display (4B). In the event of a device warning, an alert signal
sounds and the display indicates "E" in combination with a number (4E). For error codes, see chapter 6.1.
