Thank you for choosing the Tracker2, the world’s fastest three-
antenna beacon.
Remember, beacon searches are only part of the avalanche rescue
process. It is equally important to practice the probing and shoveling
techniques found later in this section.
Basic functions
On/off: Turn the on/off switch u on the back of the Tracker to the
“on” position (see Figure A). The battery life is displayed in the
distance/battery power display
v.
After displaying battery power, the beacon flashes “tr” and enters
transmit mode. The transmit light
w flashes with every other
transmit pulse. This light will not flash if the battery power is below
20 percent.
Note: that the battery percentage is approximate. The manufacturer
suggests replacing batteries
x well before reaching 20 percent.
Search mode: Pull down the search tab
y at the bottom of the
unit. In search mode, the display will show “SE” and “SEARCH” is
exposed underneath the tab.
The beacon cannot be turned off in search mode. Always return to
transmit mode to turn off your unit.
Return to transmit: Push the search tab in toward the body of the
beacon until it clicks into place. The display will flash “tr” and beep
for five seconds before it begins to transmit.
After 30 minutes in search mode, the beacon will beep every ten
minutes. After 12 hours in transmit mode, the beacon will beep
every two minutes. These beeps are reminders that there has been
no user input and the beacon is still on.
Adjustment/Fitting
The Tracker2 can be worn with or without its harness.
The manufacturer recommends securing it with the harness.
When used with a harness, the Tracker2 should be worn
underneath your outer garments, as shown in Figure B. Distance/
directional display should be against your body, on/off switch should
be exposed and visible.
