5.3.7 Owner

The Barryvox allows you to enter your name, address,
and other information, such as your phone number or
email address. This information is displayed every
time the transceiver is turned on, so that the owner
can be identified immediately anytime. We recom-
mend that you enter this information.

Due to restrictions in the number characters per line
and overall space, the data entered must be limited
to information necessary to identify the device and
return it to its owner.

By pressing the

-key briefly, the cursor on the bot-

tom line moves to the right. By pressing the

-key

longer, the cursor moves to the left. Pressing the

-key confirms your selection.

Beware of the meaning of the following icons:

5.3.1 Language

This setting allows you to select the language of your
transceiver’s user interface.

5.3.2 Analog Mode

The analog mode allows the rescuer to solve even
most complex multiple burial situations and makes
the PULSE Barryvox

®

a full-fledged avalanche trans-

ceiver. If the analog mode is set to «Manual», the
experienced rescuer can adjust the volume manually,
which can be very advantageous in certain situations.

5.3.3 Audio Support During Pinpointing

(< 3 Meters)

During the pinpointing phase, the search can be sup-
ported with an acoustic tone, which leads you in the
right direction. Rescuers who prefer always to hear
the analog tone can disable this feature.

5.3.4 Pinpoint View

(< 3 Meters)

Within pinpointing range, the Barryvox supports you
with a cross symbol for bracketing, which allows for
user-friendly pinpointing. Users who are very familiar
with the flux line pattern in close proximity of the
transmitter and prefer to see the direction arrow can
disable this feature.

5.3.5 Auto-Revert to SEND

Auto-revert to SEND switches the transceiver from
SEARCH mode to SEND mode if there is no user inter-
action or major motion for a specific amount of time.
The default setting of 4 minutes is appropriate for
most users. Only change this setting if you have an
important reason to do so. The setting is critical for
your personal safety! If you disable this setting, you
will always see the warning symbol

in SEARCH

mode.

5.3.6 Vital Data

Your PULSE Barryvox

®

detects your vital data while

you are buried and transmits these via the W-Link
radio connection to the rescuers (default setting). In
SEARCH mode, the Barryvox displays the vital status,
provided the sender has enabled the W-Link and the
ability to transmit vital data.
If you do not wish to have these data transmitted, you
can disable this feature. Only change this setting if
you have an important reason to do so. This setting
can affect your chances of survival in a complete
burial situation as well as those of buried subjects
you are searching for.
