Congratulations on the purchase of your new
PULSE Barryvox
®
.
This user manual explains the functionality and use of
the PULSE Barryvox
®
. The PULSE Barryvox
®
is a revo-
lutionary avalanche transceiver, which you will under-
stand quickly and which is very easy to use.
A transceiver does not protect you against
avalanches!
As a winter outdoor enthusiast, you must consider
all possible avalanche prevention measures and
plan your trips carefully. Companion rescue – the
worst case – must be practiced frequently. Under
the stress of an accident, this is the only way you
will be able to locate and dig out a companion
quickly and efficiently. Despite practice and all the
technological advancements, by far not all of the
completely buried avalanche victims are rescued!
An avalanche burial is always life threatening.
Important information on these topics can be found
in the chapters on companion rescue and avalanche
theory.
