Function tests
■ Standby function:
This function need to be in case you are on an avalanche situation as a rescuer and but you're not searching with your
beacon because you are probing, shoveling, or communicating with rescuers.
In this situation, you can't be in emission mode not to disturb the searching process, and you don't want to be in
search mode to avoid the bip noises. Nevertheless you can't turn off your device in case a second avalanche would
occur.

avalanche), it switch into emission mode.To launch the Standby function: Press On/Off twice and press central button
to confi rm. To exit the Standby function: Press On/Off.
■ Victim Plus function
+
If the victim plus logo appears in the upper part of the screen, that means that your beacon is detecting a signal
that is stronger than the one selected in the list. This information could be really helpful in a complicated multiple
buried victim situation. When you switch into research mode, your device detects the signals and classifi es them
from the closest one (stronger signal) to the remote one (weaker signal). By moving on the fi eld while searching, this
ranking may evolve.

This symbol appears right before the automatic switch from the selected victim to the new closest one.
