Signal Search; Coarse Search; Fine Search - ARVA NEO+ Guía De Utilización

SIGNAL SEARCH

Start searching for a signal based on one
of the two diagrams below.
To maximize the range
of your ARVA :
It is important to point your ARVA in the direction of the
avalanche, parallel to the slope and not pointing upwards
towards the sky.
Slowly rotate back and forth to try to
detect the signal(s).

COARSE SEARCH

During the coarse search :
• Carefully follow the distance and direction
indicators on the screen
• Point the device in the direc-
tion of the signal
• Search in a calm and focused
manner
• Slow down as you approach
the fine search
• If the displayed distance starts to increase
even though you are moving in the direction
indicated by the arrow, turn around
• In a complex situation with multiple vic-
tims, the device may have trouble analyzing
the signal. In this case, move a few steps
away and then return towards the critical
point by following another direction.
DURING THE SEARCH, PAY ATTENTION TO VISUAL
CLUES SUCH AS POLES, SKIS, CLOTHING, ETC.

FINE SEARCH

Once within 3 meters of the victim, your
ARVA no longer indicates a direction and
you must start bracketing (searching in a
cross pattern).
