Q U I C K S T A R T
Before a group leaves the hut
or trailhead, the beacons of all group
members must be checked.
For this check, the
group test function
(CHECK)
is activated on just one of the
beacons. Keep the MODE key pressed during
the self- and battery test, until “CH” appears
on the display. Now check that all the
beacons of the group members are in SEND
mode.
The test is successful
if you can hear clear
beeps from all beacons when they are
at
a distance of approximately one meter
.
After completion of the group test,
the Barryvox must be returned to the
S E N D mode.
This can be done by pressing
the MODE key for at least 2 seconds.
If different transceiver types are used in a
group, do a
double group check
testing
transmit and receive separately!
The transmit mode (SEND) is
the normal operating mode when out-
doors or in all situations where there
is any risk of an avalanche.
Pressing the
MODE
key
three times
,
each time within one second,
enters the
SEARCH
(receiving) mode.

switch off cell
phones
while searching!

mode when outdoors.

On the back of the Barryvox
, you
will find
important instructions
about
what to do in case of an avalanche. When
the Barryvox prompts you to start the
pri-
mary search
by displaying the
lightning
arrow
, the available
search strategies
and
the
width of the search strips
indicated
on the back of the beacon should be taken
into account.
In primary search, turn the Barryvox in
all directions!
Particular attention should be paid
to the following points:
●
Use the beacon in a calm and
concentrated way.
Avoid jerky movements. This will
allow you to complete your search
in the quickest and most reliable
way!

horizontally
in front of you.
●
Watch
the
distance and direction
information
on the display.
●
Move in the indicated direction.
