UD9PULSE-B-462002Avalanche Beacon

Welcome 1 Congratulations on the purchase of your new PULSE Barryvox ® . This user manual explains the functionality and use of the PULSE Barryvox ® . The PULSE Barryvox ® is a revo- lutionary avalanche transceiver, which you will under- stand quickly, and which is very easy to use. A transceiver does not protect you against ava- lanches! As a winter outdoor enthusiast, you must consider all possible avalanche prevention measures and plan your trips carefully. Companion rescue – the worst case – must be practiced frequently. Under the stress of an accident, this is the only way you will be able to locate and dig out a companion quickly and efficient- ly. Despite practice and all the technological advancements, by far not all of the completely buried avalanche victims are rescued! An avalanche burial is always life threatening. Important information on these topics can be found in the chapters on companion rescue and avalanche theory. PULSE Barryvox ® – Made in Switzerland Our heritage is compelling. Mammut and Barryvox follow the time-honored tradition of world-class pre- cision products made in Switzerland. From its design to its engineering and production, this device is com- pletely Swiss-made. This device is compatible with all avalanche trans- ceivers that comply with the EN 300718 standard and operate on a frequency of 457 kHz. © Copyright by Ascom (Schweiz) AG. All rights reserved.

Setup 2.1 Initial Setup Before you use the device for the first time, remove the protective foil on the front side and stick the emergency plan on the back of the battery compart- ment lid. 2.1.1 Insert / Replace Batteries Only use alkaline LR03/AAA batteries. Always insert 3 new batteries of the same type. Never use rechargeable batteriesand always replace all the batteries at the same time. Make sure the lid is properly closed and that the device and the batteries stay dry. Periodically inspect the battery compartment. Clean or dry it, if needed, since moisture can cause corrosion. Avoid touching the contacts with your hands. When storing or not using the transceiver for an extended period of time (in the summer), remove the batteries and leave the battery compartment open. The warranty becomes void if batteries have leaked! 2.1.2 Device Setup When turning the device on for the first time and switching to SEND, the user language must be selec- ted. Press the -key to change the current selection and confirm by pressing the-key. The compass calibration is performed next. Please follow the instructions on the display and in the chap- ter «Calibrate Compass». You can customize your Barryvox with your personal information, such as name, address, and phone num- ber. This way your device is identifiable as yours. Please refer to the instructions in the chapter «Owner.» Verify if your PULSE Barryvox ® is set to the appropri- ate W-Link region for your country (wireless radio link). Please see chapter …
