ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS FOR PIEPS DSP PRO
4. SECONDARY AVALANCHE | AUTO-SEARCH-TO-SEND
A secondary avalanche is an avalanche that occurs during a rescue situation. In this case, the
avalanche transceiver of the rescuer is switching immediately to SEND mode, if the device is
in SEARCH mode.
Slide the main switch of the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT from SEARCH to SEND without
pressing the lock button. The main switch is engaged in SEND mode. Store the device and hold
it rmly against the body.
The function Auto-Search-to-Send switches the PIEPS DSP PRO automatically from SEARCH
into SEND-mode when the beacon is not moving for a certain time (in case of a burial).
By default, this function is disabled! The activation of the function „Auto-Search-to-Send“ is
carried out by all PIEPS competence partners (PIEPS Service Center). The Pieps DSP SPORT is
not equipped with this feature! Find more information at www.pieps.com.
PIEPS advises that the function Auto-Search-to-Send does not help, when the rescuer has
lost his/her beacon in the case of a secondary avalanche. Only if a rescuer wears an active
transmitter, is the rescuer properly equipped in the case of a secondary avalanche.
PIEPS BACKUP: PIEPS recommends to deactivate the Auto-
Search-to-Send function in every beacon and instead use an
emergency transmitter such as the PIEPS BACKUP.
The PIEPS BACKUP is a mini emergency-transmitter (frequency 457
kHz) that is worn in addition to a beacon directly on the body and only
starts to transmit in case of an emergency. So PIEPS provides the rst
100% solution for being located in the case of a possible secondary
avalanche!
The PIEPS BACKUP can be received with every standard beacon!
Active search operations are never inuenced!
