1.2/ PRACTICE - RESPONSIBILITY
Practice makes perfect, and knowing how to properly use
your device is essential in an avalanche search. Off-piste
skiing, ski touring, and ski mountaineering are activities
with inherent risks, and wearing a transceiver should not
influence your decision making in risky locations. Know
when to turn around.
1.3/ STORAGE - BATTERY
Store your transceiver in a cool and dry place, away from
direct sunlight. Remove the battery when storing the de-
vice for long periods of time (in summer). Your transceiver
is no longer under warranty if the battery leaks. Check
your device on a regular to make sure that the OFF/SEND/
SEARCH selector switch and screen function properly,
and that there are no traces of corrosion in the battery
compartment.

er service, do not remove it. After changing the battery,
make sure that the cover is closed properly.
Important for Switzerland: appendix 4.10 for standard
SR814.013 applies to batteries.
CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the
battery is thrown into a fire or replaced by the
wrong type of battery. Follow the instructions
on how to properly dispose of used batteries.
