4.6.3 Coarse search
Follow the directional arrow quickly and check for a decreasing distance reading. Change the search direction by
180° in case of an increasing distance reading.
NOTICE Work calmly and with concentration in search
mode. Avoid hasty movements!
4.6.4 Fine search
From a distance of 5 m, the search speed should be notably reduced (50 cm/s). At the same time, start working
close to the surface of the snow. To prevent confusion during the fine search, the direction indication disappears
below a distance of 2 m. Reduce the search speed again and find, by cross-like movements, the position of the
lowest distance reading. A dynamic acoustic signal output supports the fine search: the closer the faster.
Do an accurate direction adjustment before the direction arrow
disappears! You are then moving to the transmitting beacon in best
coupling position and save time during the cross-like movements.
Move your beacon at a slow, steady
speed of about 10 cm/s, keep it leveled
close to the surface and do not rotate
your device. Search along the Y axis,
determine the lowest distance value,
then follow along the X axis. Always
move past the point of the lowest
distance to verify the distance
tendency. Mark the point of the lowest
distance reading and start pinpointing.
