4.6.2 Signal search
Start searching in the primary search area for the initial signal detection as well as for visual/acoustic signals. All
participants, observers included, must switch their devices to search mode (or to standby mode)! Make sure to
follow the external interference distance recommendations and hold the beacon a minimum of 50cm (20") from
all electronic, magnetic, and metallic sources of interference. The PIEPS beacon has a circular receiving range
that allows a correct indication of direction and distance from the point of initial signal detection – a specific
method such as turning/rotating is not necessary. All signals of the burials that are within the maximum
receiving range are received simultaneously.
Walk the search strip width in the search
area quickly. The recommended search strip
width for the PIEPS beacon is 60 m. The
display shows “no signal”.

As soon as signals are received, the distance and direction to the strongest signal are shown on the display. The
number of victims located within the receiving range is indicated by the number of human figures.
