Shoveling takes at least as much time as the transceiv-
er search. It is important to take an organized approach to
shoveling. The conveyor belt technique is the most efficient
and effective way to dig. As soon you uncover the person, it is
important to turn off their transceiver as quickly as possible.
5/ INTERFERENCE
Certain electronic devices as well as electrical and electro-
magnetic installations can significantly interfere with trans-
ceiver signals. These sources are:
• Carried: smartphones, radios, cameras, heart rate moni-
tors, GPS devices, electric airbag backpack
• Permanent: relay towers, power lines, electricity generating
equipment, ski lifts

In order to reduce the risk of signal deterioration, we recom-
mend that you keep your transceiver as far as possible from
sources of electrical and electromagnetic activity.
5.1/ RECOMMENDATIONS IN SEARCH MODE
Move all metallic and electronic devices at least 50 cm away
from your transceiver. When conducting a search, we rec-
ommend turning off all electronic devices except analog
radios, headlamps without an automatic regulator, watches
that do not have a radio feature, and backup transceivers in
the event of a secondary avalanche. Turn off all telephones
and digital radios during an active search. All telephone calls
should be made at least 10m from the people conducting the
active search. If you wear an electric airbag backpack, it is
recommended to turn it off or to hold your device more than
50cm from the system.
5.2/ RECOMMENDATIONS IN TRANSMIT MODE
Move all metallic and electronic devices at least 20 cm away
from your transceiver.
