PROBING
Search for the victim by probing
25 25
cm cm
in concentric spirals progressively
away from the minimum distance
point detected by your ARVA. Probe
perpendicular to the slope.
SHOVELING
Statistically, shoveling takes at least as much time as the
ARVA search. It is important to take a methodic approach
to shoveling.
The V-shaped conveyor technique
allows you to optimize the excavation
phase of shoveling. As soon as the per-
son is uncovered, it is important to turn
their transceiver off immediately.
INTERFERENCE
Certain electronic devices as well as electrical and elec-
tromagnetic installations can significantly interfere with
transceiver signals.
These sources are :
• carried: smart phone - analog radio - camera - heart
rate monitors - GPS - etc.
• permanent: relay towers - power lines / electrical
generating equipment - ski lifts, etc.
In order to reduce the risk of signal deterioration, we
recommend that you keep your transceiver as far as
possible from sources of electrical and electromagnetic
activity.
IN SEARCH MODE :
Move all metallic and electronic devices at least 50cm
away from your transceiver.
During an active search, we recommended turning off all
devices except :
•
Analog radio
•
Headlamp without dimmer
•
Watch without a radio function
•
Backup devices in the event of a secondary avalanche
Means of communication :
We recommend turning off all digital telephones and
radios during the active search phase. All calls should be
made at least 25m away from the individuals conducting
the active search.
IN TRANSMIT MODE :
Move all metallic and electronic devices at least 20cm
away from your transceiver.
