Advice on device use and personal safety:
When you exit a secure ski run, you enter a world of risk where an avalanche, in particular, may occur. If you do
this, you are solely responsible for moving around the mountains:
• Before leaving your base,
obtain information (from websites, mountain professionals, etc.) and equip yourself
with an ARVA, shovel and probe. This equipment is not an avalanche detector or absolute protection.
To use your ARVA effectively, you must be trained. So practise using it!
• Never leave a run alone,
and do not follow just any traces: they are not an absolute guarantee of safety. If unsure
about the stability of a slope you absolutely have to take, increase the distance between you, or better, go one at a
time. And keep an eye on each other.
• Lastly
, know when to stop. And be very careful: snow changes, and so does avalanche risk! Learn about avalanches,
and prepare your route with www.arva-equipment.com/experience
Using your ARVA:
Move SLOWLY
so you don’t take the wrong direction in haste. You must search the entire avalanche surface.
When doing a search or check, be sure to stay away from any electronic equipment
(high-voltage power lines, radio,
mobile phone, heartbeat meter, etc.) or impose radio silence. A pacemaker may also disrupt the device in search
mode. This list is not exhaustive.
Applicable to any DVA or GPS type transceiver device. The progress indicator describes progress along a
fi
eld line; it
is not the straight-line distance in metres.
