Ortovox d3 Instrucciones De Uso página 37

no more than one beacon
is transmitting in the re-
ception area of the d3.
The red LED will not
switch off if a transmitter
is located within approxi-
mately 15 m. If the dis-
play should be erased
during a search then the
d3 must also be switched
off briefly while in the
reception mode.
• After locating the first
victim, helpers rescue
the person.
• To find additional signals
the searcher moves in
successive circles with
radii of 3, 6, and 9
meters respectively. The
centre of each circle is
the point where the first
victim was found. In this
process the searcher
must pay close attention
to the display, the LEDs
and be alert to any pro-
nounced changes. A
pronounced change in
the distance reading
indicates the signal
reception of a second
transmitter. At this point
follow the new signal.
• When the searcher
receives no further
signals in the smallest
circle, he moves to the
next circle.

SPECIAL CASE
VICTIMS ARE CLOSE TOGETHER
In searching for multiple
signals, the right and
left search direction
arrows can also flash in
alternation, in addition
to the red
LED (12).
This infor-
mation
means
that the searcher
has reached an
intersection point
of two (multiple)
signals.
IMPORTANT:
Walk the circle com-
pletely and hold the
d3 on the surface
of the snow!
If two signals of appro-
ximately the same-
strength are received,
then the direction
arrows flash alternately.
The red LED is illumi-
nated. In this case the
searcher will decide
which of the two direc-
tions he will follow.
