STORAGE
After the tour take off
the S1 and store it in
its switched off status
in a well-ventilated dry
location. Most often,
the well-designed casing
prevents condensation
for the most part. To
ensure that the device
will function for several
years we recommend
a gentle drying of the
carrying system and the
avalanche transceiver,
itself. If your transceiver
gets wet, do not use
direct heat, i.e. hair
dryer, to dry it out.
Heat applied in such a
direct manner may cause
permanent damage.
Protect the avalanche
transceiver from exces-
sive moisture or exces-
sive heat. Protect the
batteries from cold
temperatures.
GUARANTEE
With the purchase of a
new ORTOVOX avalanche
transceiver and submis-
sion of the filled-out gua-
rantee card (page 45) a
full five-year factory gua-
rantee starting from the
date of manufacture is
provided. The valid gua-
rantee period is shown
on the test seal in the
battery compartment
and on the device packa-
ging. For example,
if the symbols IV/11 are
written on the test seal,
it means that the factory
guarantee will expire at
the end of the 4th quar-
ter 2011.
Also, the seal is a
reminder of the time
period during which the
recommended device
inspection is free of
charge. Within the gua-
rantee period, faulty
parts will be repaired or
replaced at no cost. The
exceptions are damage
due to improper hand-
ling and normal wear
and tear. The ORTOVOX
factory guarantee is
invalidated if there is
damage due to battery
leakage. Any further per-
formance guarantees
and subsequent dama-
ges are expressly exclu-
ded. Guarantee services
performed neither cause
the guarantee period to
be extended or restarted.
In case of service please fill out this card and send it to
the responsible ORTOVOX service center (see page 112).
