Additional Information
6.1
Tone-only Mode
(TOM)
If the display is defect, you have to search using the
tone-only mode. Turn the transceiver off. Press both
keys while turning the transceiver back on. The sensi-
tivity of the receiver can be manually adjusted by using
the
- key= + and
- key = –. The analog tone is
used to locate buried subjects.
6.2
Earphones
The use of earphones in avalanche rescue is espe-
cially advantageous in high-noise environments
(wind, helicopters, etc.).
Standard (Walkman) earphones can be used. As soon
as earphones are plugged in, the internal speaker is
muted so that other rescuers are not disturbed.

5.3.8 W-Link
The PULSE Barryvox
®
uses a W-Link radio transmission.
Different countries have varying frequency regulations.
The following world map shows the frequencies used in
the individual countries.
Note that specific frequencies
may not be used in certain countries. The frequency
is factory set depending on the country of sale. The
manufacturer declines all liability in the case of
after-sale frequency modifications.
5.3.9 Calibrate Compass
The electronic compass provides a rapid adjustment
of the direction indicator and extends the display
range to 360 degrees. To function properly, the com-
pass must be calibrated. The need to calibrate the
compass is automatically detected when the batteries
are replaced. This is, however, not the case if you
travel a long distance.
Rotate the horizontal transceiver slowly and with con-
stant speed around its axis until the message «Com-
pass calibrated» appears.
5.3.10 Maintenance
Various pieces of information can be displayed, such
as the date of the next check as well as the software
(SW) and hardware (HW) version.
