4.2 CARRYING SYSTEM
PIEPS recommends using the included carrying system (3A). In order to
protect the beacon’s display, carry the beacon with its display facing inwards
(3B). The transmit control LED (1G) is visible in the pouch´s window (3C). The
carrying system must always be worn under at least one layer of clothing.
This way damage or loss during a fall or avalanche can be prevented.
The included hand loop is intended for training purpose.
Risk of device loss due to incorrect carrying.
Always carry the device in the included carrying system!
Always leave the device cord-secured!
4.3 SWITCHING ON | SELF-CHECK | SEND MODE
NOTICE! Despite a comprehensive self-check, a beacon Mode Check (SEND check and SEARCH check) is
obligatory prior to every tour! Every member of the group must verify that both the SEND and SEARCH modes
are functioning correctly.
Switching on: Move the slider lock (1C) to the left and the slider (1B) upwards into the position SEARCH. Then
release the slider lock (1C) and move the slider (1B) downwards, until it locks in the position SEND. The display
shows firmware version, battery capacity, self-check progress (4A), self-check result (4B), group check
countdown (4C) and finally the send display with the active transmitting antenna (4D).
If the self-check is successful, “OK” is indicated on the display (4B). In the event of a device warning, an alert
signal sounds and the display indicates “E” in combination with a number (4E).
A minimum distance of 5 m from other devices and all electronic, magnetic and metallic
sources of interference should be kept during the self-check.
