This may also be necessa-
ry if atmospheric distur-
bances cause display in-
terruptions.
The red LED switches off
if it can be ensured that
no more than one beacon
is transmitting in the
reception area of the d3.
The red LED will not
switch off if a transmitter
is located within approxi-
mately 15 m.
If the display should be
erased during a search
then the d3 must also be
switched off briefly while in
the reception mode.

signal the searcher moves
to the right, to the left or
forwards as required until
the second signal is recei-
ved. The distance monitor
for the first signal will be
the first to increase in
size. As soon as the d3
receives a stronger signal
from the second transmit-
ter, the new walking direc-
tion and distance figure
is automatically shown on
the display. In order to
ensure that all existing
signals are received, all
search directions (left,
right and forwards) must
be carefully searched right
up to the edges of the
avalanche path.

The 3 circle search

dure for locating several

The signal display by the
red LED (12) on the d3 is
an important aid in recog-
nizing a situation with
several victims. The red
LED lights up if several
persons have been buried
in the reception area. If
the constant light begins
to flash then the second
victim is less than 10 m
away. The red LED is illu-
minated approx. 5 se-
conds after activating the
receiver. If several signals
overlap, this process can
take up to 20 seconds. If
a group needs more than
5 seconds to switch to
receive mode then the
display can be switched
off by briefly switching the
d3 off while in receive
mode. This may also be
necessary if atmospheric
disturbances cause dis-
play interruptions.
The red LED switches off
