3.4.9 Calibrate device
Your PULSE Barryvox
®
contains an electronic com-
pass which provides a rapid adjustment of the
direction indicator and extends the display range to
360 degrees.
To function properly, the compass must be calibrat-
ed after each battery replacement or after you have
traveled for a long distance. 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.
Hold the device horizontally and press any key to
start the calibration procedure. Rotate the horizon-
tally held transceiver slowly and with constant speed
clockwise until the message «Device calibrated!»
appears.
3.4.10 Reset Device
The function «Reset device» allows you to restore
all default factory settings. All modified settings are
lost.

3.4.7 Vital Sensor Test
The PULSE Barryvox
®
uses a highly sensitive
motion sensor to detect vital data in buried sub-
jects.
To test the vital sensor position the transceiver the
way you will be carrying it in the outdoors. (It is
imperative to use the same clothing!) Lay yourself
on the floor so that your body presses the Barryvox
downwards and avoid any intentional movements.
Interpretation of the Test Results:
No tone:
The transceiver cannot detect any vital data.
Slow series of tones:
Vital data are being detected.
Rapid series of tones:
The sensor is detecting extensive motion, as experi-
enced in ascent or descent. Avoid any movement to
test the vital data detection reliably!
3.4.8 W-Link
The PULSE Barryvox
®
uses a W-Link radio transmis-
sion. Different countries have varying frequency regu-
lations. The following world map shows the frequen-
cies used in the individual countries.
Note that specif-
ic frequencies may not be used in certain coun-
tries. The frequency is factory set depending on the
country of sale. The manufacturer declines all lia-
bility in the case of after-sale frequency modifica-
tions.
Please consult as well the Barryvox Legal and
Regulatory Guide.
