Victim Search - Ortovox d3 Instrucciones De Uso

VICTIM SEARCH

Open the quick lock
(15): Pull the d3 trans-
ceiver out of the carry-
ing case and pull it about
0.5m away from your
body. The strap system
and the elastic cord will
still secure the device
to your body so there is
no risk of losing it.
Switch-over to receive
mode: Turn the quick
switch to receive mode
(11) from transmit mode
(5) to receive mode (9).
To do this the locking
switch (6) must be pus-
hed to the right. The
signals of the other devi-
ces can now be recei-
ved.
Emergency change-
over to TRANSMIT -
in the event of a
second avalanche!
Push the locking and
emergency switch (6) to
the right with your
thumb. The emergency
switch will automatically
return to the secured
transmit position and the
d3 will start transmitting.

Optimizing reception:
Due to the laws of phy-
sics, reception depends
on the relative position
of the receiving and
transmitting devices'
antennas. Maximum
range can only be ob-
tained when the two
devices are arranged
on a longitudinal axis,
one behind the other.
Consequently we recom-
mend that you delibera-
tely turn the ORTOVOX
d3 in all directions to
find the best receiving
position when searching
for the first signal.
Failures in the perfor-
mance of the transmis-
sion and reception func-
tions can be caused by
lightning, lift and power
systems, radio equip-
ment, mobile telephones
and other electronic
equipment. Mobile tele-
phones and radio equip-
ment should be swit-
ched off during a search.
The minimum distance
between two avalanche
transceivers or to me-
tal, radio equipment,
mobile telephones etc.
should be at least 30 cm.
