Pinpointing
BarryTip:
Place a visual indicator at
the point where you have found the
lowest distance indication. The visu-
al reference is important to probe in
a systematic pattern.
If the buried subject is hit with the
probe, leave the probe in the snow.

Stash the device in search mode on your body (i.e. pocket) in
order to have both hands available to probe. Begin probing in
a spiral at a 90° angle to the snow surface. In particular if the
debris is hard, guide the probe with two hands, one pushing
from the top, the other guiding the probe closer to the snow
surface in order to avoid bending the probe. Keep in mind
that the remaining distance shown on the screen indicates
the maximum possible distance to the buried subject. I.e. if
you see 1.1 on the screen, the buried subject must be within
1.1m probing depth and spiral probe radius. In case there is no
probe hit within this area, you have missed the buried subject.
Repeat probing with a slightly offset probing pattern (chapter
«Pinpointing with Transceiver and Probe Pole»).
