In case of a burial (or whenever the transceiver stops
moving), the device records the burial duration and
detects vital data. These are displayed on the buried
device and transmitted via W-Link to all other trans-
ceivers capable of receiving vital data. See chapter
«Burial and Vital Duration».

SEND Mode
The SEND mode is the normal operating mode out-
doors or in all other situations in which there is a risk
of avalanches.
Each individual signal pulse is tested. If the test is
successful, this is confirmed by a blink of the red
SEND-Control LED.
The LCD display is automatically deactivated in the
SEND mode, but can be activated any time by pres-
sing either of the keys.

SEARCH Mode
Electronic devices and metal objects can interfere
with the search or make it impossible.
See chapter «Interferences».
Although the avalanche transceiver is easy to use,
its effective use requires proper training. We rec-
ommend that you practice transceiver searches
regularly.
