STORAGE
After the tour take off
the d3 and store it in
its switched off status
in a well-ventilated dry
location. Most often,
the well-designed casing
prevents condensation
for the most part. To
ensure that the device
will function for several
years we recommend a
gentle drying of the car-
rying system and the
avalanche transceiver,
itself. If your transceiver
gets wet, do not use
direct heat, i.e. hair
dryer, to dry it out.
Heat applied in such a
direct manner may cau-
se permanent damage.
Protect the avalanche
transceiver from exces-
sive moisture or exces-
sive heat. Protect the
batteries from cold tem-
peratures.

GUARANTEE
When purchasing a new
ORTOVOX Avalanche Trans-
ceiver, on presentation of the
filled out warranty card (see
instructions for use) and
dealer invoice we grant the
5-year ORTOVOX guarantee
from the date of purchase,
but no longer than 6 years
from the date of manufactu-
re.The number IV/14 on the
seal in the battery compart-
ment means, for example:
ORTOVOX guarantee valid
until 4th quarter 2014; the
appliance was manufactured
5 years earlier in the 4th
quarter 2009. The seal also
gives a reminder of the re-
commended transceiver test
in the 4th quarter 2014.
As part of the ORTOVOX
guarantee, faulty parts are
repaired free of charge or
the avalanche transceiver is
replaced by a beacon of the
same design. Damage cau-
sed by improper handling
and natural wear is exclu-
ded. In the case of damage
due to battery leakage, the
ORTOVOX guarantee is voi-
ded. Batteries are excluded
from the guarantee. Any
further warranty and conse-
quential damage are expres-
sly excluded. Enforced gua-
rantees do not extend the
guarantee obligation nor
does a new guarantee
period begin.
