Procedure
1. The device favors the
closest subject first.
Locate the various
buried subjects using
the transceiver and
probe pole (Chapter
«Search for a Single
Buried Subject using
the Standard Mode»).
2. As soon as you mark
an individual subject,
the transceiver takes
you to the nearest,
unmarked buried
subject.
3. Continue this proce-
dure until all subjects
are located and
marked.
4. The rescuer now
searches for addition-
al buried subjects
while the display
shows the symbol for
the signal search
phase
to indicate
that the rest of the
avalanche surface
must be searched
(Chapter «Signal
Search»).

6.3.3 Search for Multiple Buried Subjects
Using the Standard Mode
In standard mode, the transceiver attempts to ana-
lyze all the detectable signals and to determine the
number of buried subjects. This is possible,
because all the signals from one transmitter display
characteristics, which are distinguishable from the
signals from other transmitters. The more unique
the signal characteristics are, the more accurately
the signals can be distinguished and located (pat-
tern recognition). By automatically associating the
signals with their respective sources, multiple burial
situations can be solved without applying specific
search tactics. Transceivers which additionally
transmit W-Link information can be detected parti-
cularly fast and reliable.
List of Buried Subjects
The buried subjects whose transmit patterns can be
identified are inserted in the list of buried subjects
based on their signal strength. The closest buried
subject on the avalanche is shown at the bottom,
the furthest at the top of the list.
The buried subjects are numbered in the sequence
they have been found respectively marked. This
allows a reliable assignment of an entry in the list to
a buried subject on the debris.
