How to Handle
the Barryvox
During the design of the Barryvox, care was
consistently taken to achieve a robust and
reliable design. As with all other beacons,
however, the Barryvox contains ferrite
antennas that are sensitive to shock.
In your own interest, therefore, these life-
saving beacons should be
handled with
great care!
Never
drop your Barryvox on the floor
,
transport the beacon with care and
avoid
mechanical shocks
. Store the beacon in
a dry place that is not subjected to extreme
cold or heat and is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
It is strongly recommended that you let peri-
odically check the propre function of your
transceiver. (see chapter “Periodic Checks”)
Avoid in general that there are electronic
devices (i.e. cellular phones) or metal parts
(i.e. pocket knife) in close proximity to a
transceiver which is turned on.
Never drop your
Barryvox on the floor,
transport it with
great care and avoid
mechanical shocks.

Harness System /
Wrist Strap
The Barryvox is supplied with a comfortable
harness system.
The harness system must always be worn
on the innermost layer of clothing. Keep it
on your body throughout the tour; not in
your backpack!
A layer of clothing should always
cover the beacon.
The harness system consists of an adjust-
able shoulder strap (grey/black) as well as
an adjustable elastic waist belt (black). Once
the harness system has been adjusted to fit
your body, only the big black buckle needs
to be opened or closed.
The Barryvox is pushed into the harness
system as shown in the picture on the next
page and attached to the red ring on the
harness system using the red snap hook of
the wrist strap.
The harness system must be worn over
the innermost layer of clothing
