V e r s i o n 1 . 0 2 0 1 2 USER MANUAL Find the Barryvox Reference Handbook at: www.mammut.ch/BarryvoxManual Setup and Carrying Positions Batteries, Handling and Maintenance Only use alkaline LR03/AAA batteries. Always replace all 3 batteries and use new batteries of the same type. Never use rechargeable batteriesand always replace all the batteries at the same time. When not using the transceiver for an extended period of time (summer), remove the batteries. Handle your Barryvox with care. Do not drop it on the ground and avoid mechanical shocks. Avoidhaving other electronic devices(e.g. mobile phones, radios, headlamps, cameras), metal objects(pocket knives, magnetic buttons), or other transceivers close to your run- ning avalanche transceiver. To ensure the proper performance of the transceiver, it is highly recommended that you send your device to an official Barryvox service center once every three yearsfor a func- tional test. Press the key on the side during shut-down to view the recommended date of the next check. Stick the emergency planon the back of the battery compartment lid. Carrying System and Carrying Positions Regardless of the carrying position, the display should always face your body! Carrying System (Recommended Carrying Position) The carrying system has to be put on your innermost layer of clothing prior to beginning the trip (see illustration on the base plate of the carrying system) and has to be worn on your body for the duration of the trip. The transceiver shall always remain covered by one layer of cloth- ing.Using the red hook on the wrist loop the device should always remain anchored to the base plate of the carrying system. Carrying the Transceiver in a Pocket If you carry the Barryvox in a secure pant pocket, the zipper must remain closed for the duration of the trip. If possible, attach the wrist loop to your pants or secure it around your belt. 1 2 Before a party takes off, the transceivers of all party members must be checked. The group members switch their trans- ceivers to SEND. The group leader switches his device to “group check” by turn- ing it from OFF into the SEND and presses the lateral key within the first 5 seconds. Now, the group leader checks the device of each participant: The test is successfulif you can clearly hear beep sounds from each participant's transceiver within the range indicated on the display. The test distance is 1m, the spacing between the partic- ipants is 2m. The indicated test distance must not be shortened. In case the device discovers that the distances are too short a distance warning and alarm sound warns the user. If your ELEMENT Barryvox ® detects that the transmit frequency of the tested device is not within the normative regulations, an «E6» warning message will be shown. In this case, repeat the test with 5m distance between the participants to identify the defective transmitter. Such devices must be checked/repaired by the manufacturer. When all devices of the participants have been tested, the group check is finished. The group leader switches his device now as well to SEND by pressing the key on the side. How to solve a problem: If no tone is heard within the in- dicated range, the device may not be used. 1. Check if the device is switched to SEND. 2. Replace the batteries. 3. Have the device checked by the manufacturer. Main Switch OFF / SEND / SEARCH Start-Up / Self- and Battery Test Single Group Check (GROUP CHECK) Touring O F F OFFSENDSEARCH OFFSENDSEARCH OFF -> SEND SEND -> OFF OFFSENDSEARCH S E A R C H OFFSENDSEARCH SEND -> SEARCHSEARCH -> SEND While starting, the device conducts a selftest. If the self-test fails, an error message is displayed for 20 seconds along with an acoustic warning. If the battery power falls below 20% or the battery icon is displayed, the batteries must be replaced as soon as possible! Mode SEND The SEND mode is the normal operating mode outdoors or in all other sit- uations in which there is a risk of avalanches. Each time the SEND mode has been activated, this is confirmed by a triple beep sound. Each individ- ual signal pulse is tested. If the test is successful, this is confirmed by a blink of the red SEND-Control LED. The LCD display is automatically de- activated in the SEND mode. Always make sure that the switch locks into position mechanically to avoid an undesired change of mode. Personal Rescue Equipment Avalanche Transceiver + Shovel + Probe The additional use of a Mammut or Snowpulse Airbag increases the chance to stay on the surface and therefore considerably reduces the risk of a complete burial.

US, Canadian and New Zealand Version (US/W-Link Region B) Please note that the W-Link frequency used in Europe is different than that used in North A merica and New Zealand. If you own an ELEMENT Barryvox ® p urchased in North America or New Zealand your device is only able to exchange W-Link information with devices com- m unicating on the W-Link region B frequency. European Version (EU/W-Link Region A) P lease note that the W-Link frequency used in North America and New Zealand is different than that used in Europe.
