QUICK REFERENCE FOR THE ORTOVOX S1 AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER
40
SIGNAL SEARCH:
Turn the S1 left and right through an angle of approx. 30°
during the SIGNAL SEARCH (= search for the first signal)
and tilt it moderately up and down. This compensates for
particularly unfavourable positions of the transmitting
antenna and the signal can be picked up even earlier. If
there is no transmission signal being received then the
screen will automatically display instructions to carry out
a signal search. Search the avalanche track in search
strips of 50 m !
COARSE SEARCH:
Hold the S1 in a horizontal (flat) position during the
search!
At approximately 60 m distance from the victim the
victim symbol will appear on the display screen (7) with
the digital measurement (i.e 55).
The searcher aims the vertical line to the middle of the
victim symbol and then moves towards the victim. The
acoustic signal from the loudspeaker will sound faster
as the distance reduces and thus confirm
the measurement result.
If the S1 again has to determine the initial
signal, the instruction to pivot the S1 appe-
ars on the display.
The distance to the victim is now 20 m. Two further vic-
tims are shown at distances of 25 m and 30 m by a
small icon. The nearest victim (large icon) at a distance
of about 20 m remains targeted. When there are seve-
ral people searching, each of the signals displayed can
be targeted and simultaneously located by the other
searchers.
