Trademark: ARVA, is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of directive. 1999/5/EC. The compliance of the device has been evaluated according to the Electromagnetic compatibility standard test: FCC CFR 47 part 15, Subpart C. The complete decla- ration of conformity is available at the address above. Name: TORRES. Fonction: Establishment Development Director. Date: 19/08/2011. Signature: FCC requirements: - FCC ID: O9BARVAADV4 NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de- vice, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec- tion against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc- tion, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in- stallation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct Disposal of electronic instruments by users from private house- holds in the European Union. This symbol stamped on the product or its packaging indicates that the product is not allowed to be disposed of with household waste. It is your responsibility to bring your electronics waste to a designated recycling office for proper disposal. Separate disposal and recycling of your waste will contribute to preserving our natural resources and ensure an environmentally-friendly disposal safer for public health. For more information regarding the closest recycling center to your res- idence, contact your local city hall, waste management company, or the store where you purchased the product. 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 immediately. Search for the victim by probing in concentric spirals progressively away from the minimum distance point detected by your ARVA. Probe perpendicular to the slope. IN SEARCH MODE : Move all metallic and electronic devices at least 50cm away from your transceiver. During an active search, we recommended turning off all devices except : • Analog radio • Headlamp without dimmer • Watch without a radio function • Backup devices in the event of a secondary avalanche Means of communication : We recommend turning off all digital telephones and radios during the active search phase. All calls should be made at least 25m away from the individuals conducting the active search. IN TRANSMIT MODE : Move all metallic and electronic devices at least 20cm away from your transceiver. Certain electronic devices as well as electrical and electromag- netic installations can significantly interfere with transceiver signals. These sources are : • carried: smart phone - analog radio - camera - heart rate monitors - GPS - etc. • permanent: relay towers - power lines / electrical generating equipment - ski lifts, etc. 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. Statistically, shoveling takes at least as much time as the ARVA search. It is important to take a methodic approach to shoveling. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. MULTIPLE BURIAL INDICATOR SHOVELING PROBING INTERFERENCE MARKING FUNCTION • 3 antennas SEARCH/ TRANSMIT BUTTON MARKED VICTIM BUTTON ON/ OFF interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equip- ment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on cir- cuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. - Information to user: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. UNMARKED VICTIM MARKED VICTIM 90 ° 25 cm 25 cm To mark the victim, press on the “marking” button. The device will switch to victim B. When you are less than 3m from the first victim you have the option of marking the location in order to continue searching for another signal. In the illustration example, you can mark victim A. A B • Distance and direction indicator • Marking function for multiple burials • An icon for 1, 2, 3 or more victims • 40m search bandwidth • 220 g • Battery life: 250+ hours • Requires 4 alkaline AAA/ LR06 batteries • Group check 4 OR MORE BURIALS DEVICE USE INSTRUCTIONS INITIAL START-UP GROUP CHECK SWITCHING TO SEARCH MODE SIGNAL SEARCH COARSE SEARCH FINE SEARCH INSERTING BATTERIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS. The ARVA EVO4 only operates with 4 standard Alkaline AAA/ LRO3 batteries. Open the compartment on the back of the device to insert the 4 batteries. The 4 batteries should always be from the same brand and replaced at the same time. BATTERY CHECK Just after turning on your device, it will indicate the battery level. We recommend that you replace the batteries as soon as they drop below 50%. Start searching for a signal based on one of the two diagrams bel…
