SHOVELING
The V-shaped conveyor
technique allows you to
optimize the excavation
phase of shoveling.
As soon as the person
is uncovered, it is
important to turn their
transceiver off imme-
diately.

Statistically, shoveling takes at least as much time as the
ARVA search. It is important to take a methodic approach to
shoveling.

These sources are:
• carried: smart phone - analog radio - camera - heart rate

• permanent: relay towers - power lines / electrical generat-
ing equipment - ski lifts, etc.
In order to reduce the risk of signal deterioration, we rec-
ommend that you keep your transceiver as far as possible
from sources of electrical and electromagnetic activity.
