WHEN IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN:
• Turn the battery ON and ensure the green system indicator
light is flashing.
• Leave the battery on ALL DAY until you reach safe terrain.
• Keep the trigger in the unlocked position.
• Periodically check your ski partner's pack for the flashing
green system indicator light. To verify for yourself, use the
retractable mirror to ensure the system indicator light is
flashing while the pack is on.

DURING AN AVALANCHE
THESE SUGGESTIONS DO NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF
AN AVALANCHE SAFETY COURSE.
As soon as you suspect an avalanche, deploy the
avalanche airbag. One of the advantages of the
VOLTAIR
can deploy the airbag repeatedly during the same day.
(*Up to 8 deployments in a single day, dependent upon
tempertaure and battery charge state.)
STEP 1: DEPLOY THE BALLOON.
Grasp the trigger handle, pull firmly until the airbag
deploys, then release. The balloon will inflate within
3 to 5 seconds.
STEP 2: ESCAPE IF YOU CAN.
Use whatever means necessary to get out of the path
of the avalanche as quickly as possible.
STEP 3: FIGHT TO STAY AT THE SURFACE.
Use your arms and hands to avoid obstacles and to clear
snow and obstructions from your face. Try to keep your
mouth closed. As the avalanche stops, get yourself free
as soon as possible so you can dig out survivors.
