a victim has the best chance of being rescued if the largest possible number of companions in
a given group have not been buried and work efficiently as a team to search and rescue their
companion. In the event of an accident, the most important considerations are to: STay CaLM, BE
oBSErvEaNT, and raISE THE aLarM.
(1)
determine the search area and last point seen:
How many victims are buried? Are there several companions ready to engage
in rescue? The most experienced person takes over assignment and management.
(2)
Call emergency services: Dial 112 (EU) if this is possible without losing time.
(3)
establish search areas: Where are the probable burial locations?
(4)
Visual Sweep Search: Search for the avalanche cone with your eyes and ears.
(5)
Search with avalanche transceiver: Switch non-searching avalanche
transceivers in SEARCH-mode. The search is divided in the following search phases
(ICAR 2009): A Signal search, B Coarse search, C Fine search, d Pinpointing
(Check the search results with a probe. Leave probe in place.)
A
B
(6)
dig: Start digging at a distance downhill
from the probe equal to the indicated depth
of burial. Dig over a large area.
(7)
rescue and first aid: First clear the face and airways.
Watch out for any breathing cavity (air pocket) for the victim. Protect from cold.

SeArCH-mode
Switch your PIEPS Freeride from transmit to
receive mode by pressing 3 times on the "Send-
Search" switch.
SeArCH For iNiTiAL deTeCTioN:
Walk
quickly over the defined search area in a pattern
corresponding with the recommended search strip
width while searching for initial detection. Given that
every standards-compliant avalanche transceiver
transmits only approx. once per second, turn your
PIEPS Freeride slowly in all directions (in three
dimensions). The recommended search strip width
for the PIEPS Freeride is 30 meter.
imporTANT!
In SEARCH mode work calmly
with full concentration. Avoid hasty movements.
In SEARCH mode no signal is transmitted. In the
event of a second avalanche, hold the "Send-
Search" switch down for 3 seconds in order to
resume SEND mode.

the PIEPS Freeride receives signals, the approximate
distance to the victim is shown on the display:
