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 

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 

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.

  PROBING

  MARKING FUNCTION

• 3 antennas

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.

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.
