4.4. BACKCOUNTRY USE
When using the LiTRIC® System in the
backcountry it must be switched ON
and be sufficiently charged (see points 4.2
and 4.3).
4.4.1. Operating the trigger
handle
The LiTRIC® system is activated by
tugging forcefully on the unlocked trigger
handle (H) which is located on the
backpack shoulder straps (U).
The trigger handle is designed for use
while wearing gloves and for both left-
and right-handed people.
The trigger handle can be unlocked or
locked by rotating it 180°.
• When the orange side is facing the
front, the trigger handle is unlocked and
ready for deployment.
• When the black side with the lock sym-
bol is facing the front with the trigger
handle latched in place, the trigger han-
dle is locked.
ATTENTION
In places where deployment of the LiTRIC® airbag (B) could potentially be dangerous
to you or others around you (such as in a vehicle, chairlift, crowd, on a ridge, etc.), make
sure the trigger handle cannot be pulled accidentally, thereby deploying the LiTRIC®
Avalanche Airbag. Place the trigger handle in the locked position.
