5.5 INT. AVALANCHE ACCIDENT DATABASE
Please report any practical use of your ABS ® Avalanche
Airbag. The findings of all examples of practical use
across the globe are collected by the Österreichisches
Kuratorium für Alpine Sicherheit (Austrian Alpine
Safety Board) and are very important for research and
development. You can find all the key information at
www.abs-airbag.com/en/avalanche-accident/
Please fill out the online form in full and also send the
information regarding your avalanche accident to your
ABS
®
Service Centre when you send your backpack for
inspection.
6. INDIVIDUAL MODE
Individual mode is activated when you unfold the acti-
vation handle. The top LED will flash green.
If you pull the activation handle, only your own airbag
will open.
7. GROUP MODE
In group mode, both your own airbag and those of
group members can be activated.
As soon as you notice that an avalanche has been
triggered, affecting you or a member of the group,
activate your system immediately. Your airbag opens in
3 seconds and automatically transmits the radio signal
for activation to the other group members, causing
their airbags to open.
You should also pull the handle if a) people are still
attempting to flee the avalanche, b) if it is only small in
scale or c) someone is no longer visible in the flowing
avalanche. Do not pull the activation handle once the
avalanche has come to a standstill.
You should ALWAYS try to activate your ABS
®
P.RIDE
System yourself by pulling the activation handle. Do
not rely on other group members – they could also be
in danger themselves. The terrain and other unpre-
dictable factors may impair the operation of group
activation
7.1 GROUPING
To create a group, move the activation handle to the
ON position. When the green LED lights up (after
approx. 2 seconds), press the function key. The blue
LED will light up to confirm that you have pressed the
function key. The group is created automatically.
People in the group must be within an activation field
of up to 10 m (radius 5 m) and must unfold the handle
simultaneously within 3 seconds. Max. group size: 15
people.
