2. Initial Setup
2.1 Emergency Plan
Before you use the device for the first time, remove
the protective foil on the front side and stick the
emergency plan on the back of the battery com-
partment lid.
2.2 Insert / Replace Batteries
Only
use
alkaline
(LR03/AAA)
or lithium
(LR92/AAA)
batteries of the same type. Always insert 3 new bat-
teries of the same type. In case these batteries need
to be removed, the same 3 batteries or 3 new bat-
teries need to be reinserted.
Never use recharge-
able batteries
and always replace all the batteries
at the same time.
Make sure the lid is properly closed and that the
device and the batteries stay dry. Periodically
inspect the battery compartment. Clean or dry it, if
needed, since moisture can cause corrosion. Avoid
touching the contacts with your hands.
A reliable power supply is crucial for the safe oper-
ation.
2.2.1 Important Points When
Using Alkaline Batteries
Type LR03/AAA
When storing or not using the transceiver for an
extended period of time (i.e. in the summer),
remove the batteries and leave the battery com-
partment open. The warranty becomes void if bat-
teries have leaked! When reinserting the batteries,
use the same 3 batteries or 3 new batteries.
2.2.2 Important Points When
Using Lithium Batteries
Type LR92/AAA
Lithium batteries are extraordinary long-lasting ,
cold-proof and do not leak. The usable energy in
low temperatures is higher compared to alkaline
batteries. This battery technology is the best choice
for the application in a avalanche rescue transceiv-
er.

2.3 Device Setup
When turning the device on for the first time and
switching to SEND, the user language and profile
must be selected.
Afterwards, the user will be prompted to calibrate
the device.
All settings may be modified later at any time.
Press the -key to change the current selection
and confirm by pressing the -key.
In the «Cockpit Initial Setup» you find a step-by-
step setup guide.
2.3.1 Language
This setting allows you to select the language of
your transceiver’s user interface
2.3.2 Profile
The profiles allow to adapt your PULSE Barryvox
quickly and easily to your user profile. The selected
profile is shown during the start-up of the device.
Determine the most suited profile of the device:
Which one of the statements below fits you
best?
The
Basic Profile
is my choice if:
- I am novice or I did not much familiarize myself
with this topic up to now. I start with the basic
search mode which uses only one-button and
does not have any additional functions. After
some exercise, I may switch to the more sophis-
ticated «Advanced Profile».
- I use this device only for my rudimentary trained
participants/guests
The
Advanced Profile
is my choice if:
A: I am familiar with the «Basic Profile» and would
like to achieve a better performance in ava-
lanche rescue.
B: I know how to interpret analog sound and for
demanding search scenarios I would like to be
able to take advant
age of the comprehensive search modes of the
«Advanced Profile».
C: I use the device for my profession, I am group
leader or in another way in an accountable posi-
tion. My avalanche rescue transceiver needs to
be able to provide a 100% solution to all search
scenarios.
Settings in the Advanced Profile:
The Advanced Profile gives you access to a compre-
hensive choice of settings.
Group A, B and C: Adapt the settings to your
requirements and capabilities.
Group B and C: It is strongly recommended to
choose the following settings:
Analog Mode = manual, Audio support <3m = off
(see chapter «Settings»)
