PIEPS DSP User Manual

EMERGENCY / SEARCH mode
In case of an emergency, the key thing to remember is:
KEEP CALM, OBSERVE, RAISE THEALARM
Observe the course of the avalanche and make an exact mental note of where the
victim
was hit by the avalanche (point of impact)
was last seen (point of disappearance)
The extension of these points indicates the flow direction of the avalanche !
The primary search area is to the left and right of this. When the avalanche stops, the
most experienced member of the group takes control of the search, issuing
instructions from the edge of the avalanche so that another person can mark the
above points (with sticks, etc.).
Depress the main switch lock and push the main switch to the SEARCH position. You
can now begin the PRIMARY SEARCH, in which the device will pick up any signals
from victims within its range. Now scan the primary search area according to the plan
on the left until a steady signal is reported.

IMPORTANT: All participants (including observers) must switch their beacons
to receiving (SEARCH) mode. Always make sure there are no electronic devices
(e.g. mobiles, radios,) or solid metal items in the direct vicinity of the search.
