NOTICE! An avalanche beacon does not protect against avalanches!
Detailed knowledge of avalanche prevention is as indispensable as regularly
practicing victim searches in an emergency. The following procedures and tips
relate only to special usage in conjunction with the Black Diamond Guide BT/
Recon BT. The basic line of action in an emergency – as explained in specialist
publications and material from avalanche courses – must be followed.
A
NOTICE! All avalanche beacons are very sensitive to electrical and magnetic
sources of interference. Due to this, all manufacturers recommend keeping
a minimum distance from electronic, magnetic and metallic sources of
interference (mobile phone, radio, keys, magnetic closures, etc.): Minimum
distance in send mode: 20 cm | Minimum distance in search mode: 50 cm
A
WARNING! Risk of hearing damage due to the high noise level. Never hold
the avalanche beacon directly next to your ear. A minimum distance of 50 cm
is recommended.
