8.3 Use in the Dark
If you use the transceiver in the dark, the display is
automatically backlit.
8.4 Test and Configuration Adapter
There are various test and configuration adapters
available for the PULSE Barryvox
®
, which allow
advanced functions to be configured or restricted.
Test, configuration, and update capabilities via the
W-Link make the PULSE Barryvox
®
the ideal choice
for fleet use.
8.5 Maintenance and Repair
Barryvox transceivers, which do not function cor-
rectly, despite full and properly inserted batteries
(e.g. problem listed under troubleshooting, no signal
during the group check, mechanical defects) must
be sent to a service center listed at the beginning of
this manual.
8.6 Maintenance
In the maintenance tab in the start menu, the date
of the next check as well as the software (SW) and
hardware (HW) version can be displayed.
8.7 Frequent, self-responsible check
Always check the result of the self- and battery test
(chapter “Turning the Device On” and “Battery Level
Indicator”) and pay attention to alert messages
(chapter “Troubleshooting”). Regularly carry out the
group checks as indicated in chapter “Group
Check”. Furthermore, we recommend that you take
self-responsibility by frequently checking your devi-
ce for mechanical damage of the casing, proper
function of the main switch, battery compartment
cover as well as cleanness of the battery contacts.
In case you detect problems, it is mandatory to
have the device checked by one of the service cen-
ters listed under “Registration and Service”
8.8 Periodic check by a Barryvox
Service Point
To check the proper function of the device, is highly
recommended to send the device every 3 years, or
when reaching 3000 hours of operation, to a Barry-
vox service center or have it checked by a Barryvox
service point (service charge will apply).
The functional test is much more comprehensive
and precise than the self and group check. As part
of this service the electronics and the mechanical
components such as the case, the main switch and
the lateral key, the battery contacts, the battery
compartment and cover as well as the wrist strap
will be checked. In case the check shows abnormal
wear and tear due to incorrect or long, very intense
use, the service center may recommend you to pur-
chase an exchange device.
We recommend that you have your device checked
during the summer months so that your Barryvox is
tested and ready to use at the start of the next win-
ter season. In the “Maintenance” tab in the start
menu, you can see when the next check is due.
For further information concerning maintenance and
testing of Barryvox transceivers, please consult the
Barryvox Application Safety Guide.

8. Additional Information
8.1 Tone-only Mode
(TOM)
If the display is defect, you have to search using the
tone-only mode. Turn the transceiver off. Press both
keys while turning the transceiver back on. The sen-
sitivity of the receiver can be manually adjusted by
using the
- key= + and
- key = –. The analog
tone is used to locate buried subjects.
8.2 Earphones
The use of earphones in avalanche rescue is espe-
cially advantageous in high-noise environments
(wind, helicopters, etc.).
Standard (MP3-Player) earphones can be used. As
soon as earphones are plugged in, the internal
speaker is muted so that other rescuers are not dis-
turbed.
