Signal search
Start searching in the primary search area following initial reception (signal search). The MICRO has a circular
receiving range which enables the correct indication of direction and distance from the initial reception – a
specific method such as turning/pivoting is not necessary. All sender avalanche beacons within the maximum
receiving range are received simultaneously.
Walk the indicated search strip width in the established search
area quickly. The recommended search strip width for the
MICRO is 40 m. The display shows “no reception” until a signal is
received.

IMPORTANT! Everyone involved, including the observers, switches their avalanche beacons to receive mode (or to
standby mode). You must avoid standing in the immediate vicinity of electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones,
radios) or solid metal objects during the search.
4.9.3
Coarse search
When the MICRO receives signals, the distance and direction to the strongest signal are shown on the display.
The number of victims located within the receiving range is indicated by the number of small human figures.
Approach the strongest send signal by following the directional arrow and distance along the field line.
Vibra at initial reception
The MICRO provides additional support during initial reception by vibrating. This
lets rescuers focus on the visual surface search during the signal search.
