PINPOINTING (PROBING)
Mark the point with the smallest
distance reading (using crossed
poles or a shovel).
To now determine the precise
location of the victim, probe in
the displayed  cm grid.
Insert the probe quickly and
deeply at a ° angle to the snow.
A clear decrease in the penetration
depth indicates a hit.
The probe remains in the ground
as a point of reference while you
dig out the victim.
DIGGING OUT
Read the burial depth ()
on the probe. Move this
distance down the slope
and start shoveling in a
V-shape.
If there are several res-
cuers, the person shove-
ling at the top should cut
out blocks. Those behind
should shovel and move
the snow away. The air
passages should be
exposed as quickly as
possible.
TIP Shovels with a CLEARING FUNCTION can save valuable time.
