Changing Batteries; Battery Change - Ortovox S1 Instrucciones De Uso

CHANGING BATTERIES

(when the equipment is switched off)
Remove the screw from the battery compartment on
the back of the S1 and remove the batteries
from the battery shaft using the strap.
Always insert 3 new AAA 1.5V LR 03 batte-
ries of the same make. Check the correct
positon of the positive and negative poles.
Use only brand name batteries. No recharge-
rable batteries and no lithium batteries.
SEPARATING THE PROTECTIVE CASE FROM
THE AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER AND ATTACHING THE WRIST
STRAP
The protective case can be separated from the avalanche transceiver for
cleaning purposes. The wrist strap can be attached in place of the protec-
tive case.
For safety reasons,
ORTOVOX only recommends using the supplied
protective safety case when wearing the beacon!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Remove the batteries from the avalanche transceiver during the sum-
mer months. The ORTOVOX factory guarantee is invalid by damage due
to battery leakage. Never use rechargeable batteries (rechargeable
batteries such as Ni-Cd cells). Rechargeable batteries have significant-
ly lower operating voltage, and thus lower range and limited service
life. In addition defective rechargeable batteries cannot be detected
immediately. Once they have been recharged they show full battery vol-
tage, however they can drop off to 0 after extremely short service (life
threatening hazard!).If you delay changing batteries (capacity <10%),
the micro-processor, the distance display, and direction display will
switch off. In such case, approximately only twenty hours of emergen-
cy analog transmit operation and one hour of emergency receive ope-
ration are possible.
