Signal Search

 

BarryTip: 

Move swiftly.

 

Emergency plan, search strategies and 
search strip widths: please see back 
side of device.

 

Search avalanche surface systemati-
cally.

 

During signal search, the rescuer has 
his visual focus on the surface of the 
debris in order to look for visual clues 
on the snow surface. The first signal 
is indicated by a distinct double beep 
sound.

1

From the start of the search until you clearly hear the first tone, 
you are in signal search.

The avalanche surface is searched systematically until you pick 
up a signal. During the acoustic signal search, the rescuer has 
the visual focus on the surface of the debris in order to be able 
to see body parts or objects protruding the snow surface.
