Press the main switch lock and push the main switch to
the "SEARCH" position.
Observe the course of the avalanche and make an exact
mental note of (1) where the victim was impacted by the
avalanche, (2) the point of disappearance. (3) The extension
of these points indicates the flow direction of the avalanche!
The primary search area is to the left and right of this.
You are now beginning with the search for initial detection. The PIEPS DSP PRO ICE has a
circular receiving range and allows a direction and distance indication from the first signal (no
special method of operation necessary). All signals of the burials that are within the maximum
receiving range are received at the same time. To find the first signal walk along the defined
search area in the stated search-strip width quickly. The recommended search strip width is
60 m for PIEPS DSP PRO ICE.
