2.3.3 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.
Verify W-Link Region Setting
Verify that your PULSE Barryvox
®
is set to the appro-
priate W-Link region for your country (wireless radio
link). Please pay attention to the information in the
«Barryvox Legal and Regulatory Guide» and the chap-
ter «W-Link». For countries without W-Link approval,
transmission and reception of vital data is not possi-
ble. (Chapter «Triage Criteria and Vital Data»).
Carrying system

The PULSE Barryvox

allows you to enter your
name, address, and other information, such as your

is displayed every
time the transceiver
is turned on, so that
the owner can be
identified immedi-
ately anytime. We
recommend that

mation.
Due to restrictions in the number characters per
line and overall space, the data entered must be
limited to information necessary to identify the
device and return it to its owner.
