3.4 Content of the start menu
and settings in the advanced profile
The default settings of the device are configured
optimally for normal use.
The start menu includes
the same function as outlined in the chapter
“content of the start menu in the basic profile”
.
In addition, the
“settings”
allow advanced and pro-
fessional users to activate additional functions and
to adapt the setting to meet their specific require-
ments and preferences.
Most settings increase the level of detail shown
on to the user as well as the amount of functi-
ons available. You should only change the
default settings if you have a specific reason to
do so.
3.4.1 Analog Mode
The analog mode allows the rescuer to solve even
the most complex multiple burial situations and
makes the PULSE Barryvox
®
a full-fledged ava-
lanche transceiver. If the analog mode is set to
«Manual», the experienced rescuer can adjust the
volume manually, which can be very advantageous
in certain situations. The setting “manual” is as well
required to take advantage of an increased search
strip width as described in the chapter “Extended
Search Strip Width in Analog Mode”.
3.4.2 Audio Support Fine Search
(< 3 Meters)
During fine search, the search for beginners is sup-
ported with an acoustic tone, which leads you in the
right direction. For rescuers who can interpret the
analog sound, it is highly recommended to disable
this digital audio support as the more meaningful
analog sound will then be available instead.
3.4.3 Fine Search View
(< 3 Meters)
In fine search range, the Barryvox supports the res-
cuer with the “assisted fine search” function, which
allows a user-friendly and precise fine search.
In case you do not like this assistance, you may
choose the setting “cross”, which gives you a dyna-
mic cross view during fine search. Alternatively, the
setting “direction”, leading you with the standard
directional arrow during fine search, may be used
by rescuers who are very familiar with the particu-
lar distribution of the field lines in close proximity to
a buried subject.
3.4.4 Auto-Revert to SEND
Auto-revert to SEND switches the transceiver from
SEARCH mode to SEND mode if there is no user
interaction or major motion for a specific amount of
time. The default setting of 4 minutes is appropriate
for most users. Only change this setting if you have
an important reason to do so. The setting is critical
for your personal safety! If you disable this setting,
you will always see the warning symbol
in
SEARCH mode.
3.4.5 Group Check Distance
The group check distance defines the test distance
during the group check. Choose «Sledding» (5m) for
the motorized application and «Touring» (1m) for all
other cases.
3.4.6 Vital Data
Your PULSE Barryvox
®
detects your vital data (see
chapter „Vital Data Detection”) while you are buried
and transmits these via the W-Link radio connection
to the rescuers (default setting). In SEARCH mode, the
Barryvox displays the vital status, provided the sender
has enabled the W-Link and the ability to transmit
vital data.
If you do not wish to have these data transmitted, you
can disable this feature. Only change this setting if
you have an important reason to do so. This setting
can affect your chances of survival in a complete bur-
ial situation as well as those of buried subjects you
are searching for.
