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 in-
fluence 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 device
for long periods of time (in summer). Your transceiver is no
longer under warranty if the battery leaks. Check your de-
vice 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.
The EVO5 operates exclusively with one AA/LR06 alkaline
4
battery. Do not use a lithium or rechargeable battery. The
label in the battery compartment is important for customer
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 prop-
erly dispose of used batteries.
