IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Remove the batteries from the avalanche transceiver during the summer
months.
The ORTOVOX factory guarantee is invalidated by damage due to battery
leakage. Never use rechargeable batteries (rechargeable batteries such as
Ni-Cd cells). Rechargeable batteries have significantly lower operating voltage,
and thus lower range and limited service life.
In addition defective rechargeable batteries cannot be detected immediately.
Once they have been recharged they show full battery voltage, however they
can drop off to 0 after extremely short service (life threatening hazard!).
If you delay changing batteries (capacity <20%), the micro-processor, the
distance display, and direction display will switch off. In such case, approxi-
mately only twenty hours of emergency analog transmit operation and one
hour of emergency receive operation are possible.

INTERFERENCE IN TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING PERFORMANCE
Transmitting and receiving performance can be interferred by lightnings, ski
lifts, power lines and plants, walkie-talkies, mobile phones and headlamps with
voltage regulators.
When in use, we recommend switching off mobile phones and walkie-talkies.
Minimum distance of 30 cm between two avalanche transceivers, metal, wal-
kie-talkie, mobile phone, etc.
Der erforderliche Neustart (RESET) wird durch Unterbrechung eines Batterie-
kontaktes (10 Sekunden) erreicht.
CHANGING BATTERIES
(when the equipment is switched off)
Remove the screw from the battery compartment (8) on the back of the S1
and remove the batteries from the battery shaft using the strap. Replace three
fresh AAA Alkaline batteries 1.5V LR 03 and make sure the positive and nega-
tive poles are inserted correctly. Use only brand name batteries. Cheap batte-
ries can be slightly slimmer and/or shorter and thus correct contact with the
battery poles cannot be ensured.
No rechargerable batteries and no lithium batteries.
SEPARATING THE PROTECTIVE CASE FROM THE AVALANCHE
TRANSCIEVER AND ATTACHING THE WRIST STRAP
The protective case can be separated from the avalanche transciever for cleaning
purposes.
The wrist strap can be attached in place of the protective case.
Open the battery compartment on the rear of the S1 and remove the fixing rod
with the rubber cord. Now replace the fixing rod for the wrist strap in the same
space and screw the battery compartment closed.
For safety reasons, ORTOVOX only recommends using only the protective
safety case that is supplied with the transceiver.
