HANDLING THE BARRYVOX

Like all transceivers, the Barryvox® contains shock sensitive ferrite antennas. Therefore, you should handle it with utmost care! Store the device and the carrying system in a dry spot that is protected from extreme cold or heat and direct sunshine. Always check the result of the self- and battery test, pay attention to alert messages and carry out the group check. It is your responsibility to frequently check your Barryvox® for mechanical damage of the casing, proper function of the main switch, battery compartment cover as well as cleanliness and mechanical integrity of the battery contacts. To ensure the proper performance of the transceiver, it is highly recommended that you send your device to an ocial Barryvox® service center once every three years for a functional test. The recommended date of the next check can be viewed under «Maintenance» in the shut down sequence of the device. (see chapter «Periodic Checks» of the Barryvox®S Extended Reference Manual).

Interferences

Always avoid having other electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones, radios, headlamps, cameras), metal objects (pocket knives, magnetic buttons), or other transceivers close to (20 cm in SEND; 50 cm in SEARCH) your running avalanche transceiver. You should not wear clothing with magnetic buttons! Users of pacemakers are advised to carry the device in a secure pants pocket (no vital data detection). Consult the manufacturer’s instructions with regard to the impact on pacemakers.

When searching, hold the device at a minimum of 50cm away from these objects and turn o any electronic devices, if possible. It is highly recommended to turn OFF mobile phones!

INITIAL SETUP

Batteries

Only use alkaline (LR03/AAA) batteries of the same type. Always insert 3 new batteries of the same type. In case these batteries need to be removed, the same 3 batteries or 3 new batteries must be reinserted. Never use rechargeable batteries and always replace all the batteries at the same time. Make sure the lid is properly closed and that the device and the batteries stay dry.

Use a ﬁngernail or the leash clip to slide battery door to the left, and it will swing open.

Periodically inspect the battery compartment. Clean or dry it, if needed, since moisture can cause corrosion. Avoid touching the contacts with your hands, use a clean cloth. A reliable power supply is crucial for safe operation.

When storing or not using the transceiver for an extended period of time (summer, travelling, shipping), remove batteries. The warranty becomes void if batteries have leaked!

GROUP CHECK

The test is successful if you can clearly hear beep sounds from each participant‘s transceiver within the range indicated on the display.

The members of the party must be spread out appropriately to avoid mutual interference. The indicated test distance must not be shortened, or the group check becomes very unreliable.

Once all the participant‘s devices are tested, the group check is concluded. The group leader’s transceiver must be switched to the SEND mode.

If no tone is heard within the indicated range, the device must not be used.

Further procedure: 1. Check if the device is switched to SEND.

2. Replace the batteries.

3. Have the device checked by the manufacturer.

Chapter «Maintenance and Repair».

If your Barryvox

detects that the transmit frequency of the tested device is out of tolerance, a warning message will be shown. In this case, repeat the test with 5m distance between the participants to identify the defective transmitter. Such devices must be checked by the manufacturer.

Double Group Check

We recommend to perform a double group check once a week and in general when a new group gets together. The double group check individually tests the SEND and SEARCH function of all devices. The members of the party activate the group check on their transceivers or set them to a low receive volume. The leader switches his or her transceiver to the SEND mode and ensures that all party members can receive.

Subsequently, the party members switch their transceivers to SEND, and the leader activates the group check or sets the transceiver to a low receive volume. The SEND mode of all transceivers is checked, and ultimately the leader switches his or her transceiver to SEND.

SEND

The SEND mode is the normal operating mode outdoors or in all other situations in which there is a risk of avalanches.

Each time the SEND mode is activated, this is conﬁrmed by an ascending triple beep sound. Each individual signal pulse is tested. If the test is successful, this is conﬁrmed by a blink of the red SEND-Control LED.

If the device detects that the SEND function is compromised, the red SEND-Control LED stops ﬂashing and screen shows an alert message.

To save battery power, the LCD screen is automatically deactivated in the SEND mode, but can be activated any time by pressing the button.

EXTENDED REFERENCE GUIDE

BARRYVOX

Although the avalanche transceiver is easy to use, its eective use requires proper training. We recommend that you practice transceiver searches regularly.

Be aware that electronic devices including mobile phones used by other rescuers may disturb the search. Therefore it is highly recommended to switch o phones which are not absolutely required!

At the beginning and during the search, pay close attention that the rescuer’s transceivers are not transmitting and do not switch to SEND unintentionally. It does not make sense to remove your backpack and assemble the shovel and probe at the edge of the avalanche debris. Keep your backpack with all the equipment on you! The assembled shovel and probe is only a hindrance during signal and course search. Only remove your pack to assemble probe and shovel once you have successfully concluded the ﬁne search.

Elementary understanding of transceiver search

The 457kHz transmitter of the transceiver has a kidney shaped transmit distribution, which is visualized with ﬁeld lines in the illustration below. The searching transceiver’s arrow leads the rescuer along the ﬁeld lines and therefore usually in a curved line to the buried subject.

Search Along the Field Line: Flux Line Search

Search Phases

In an avalanche search, the following phases are distinguished:

Signal search

Search area to the point where the ﬁrst clearly audible signal can be detected.

Coarse search

Search area starting from the reception of the ﬁrst signal until the immediate vicinity of the buried subject. In this phase the signal search pattern is abandoned in order to follow the signals leading to the buried subject.

Fine search

Search area in the immediate vicin

ity of the buried subject.

From the start of the search until you clearly hear the ﬁrst tone, you are in signal search.

The avalanche surface is searched systematically until you pick up a signal. During the acoustic signal search, the rescuer has the visual focus on the surface of the debris in order to be able to see body parts or objects protruding the snow surface.

Step slowly forward, backwards, left or right while holding the device at knee height.

During this search phase hold the transceiver at knee height! The Barryvox indicates you the ﬁrst axis of the ﬁne search, refered to as the “runway” in the “Airport Approach” teaching model. For novice companion rescuers, it is usually faster to proceed with the probe once they have found to lowest distance indication on the ﬁrst axis. For intermediate and advanced users, it is advised to apply a classic grid search pattern.

Searching in a strictly perpendicular cross shortens the search time and increases the search precision, thus always try to keep the device and your body in the same orientation during ﬁne search.

The greater the remaining distance to the buried subject (burial depth), the more repetitions of ﬁne search crosses may be required to reach sucient search-precision. Systematically ﬁne search until you have found the point with the lowest distance indication.

Immediately place an indicator, i.e. a ski pole at this spot as an important reference when applying the probing spiral. Open your backpack now and assemble probe and shovel. It is recommended to put your backpack immediately back on your shoulders, in particular if you use a back pack with an airbag. In the unusual case of a secondary avalanche, this allows you to take advantage of the safety gear. By strictly keeping the equipment (i.e. ﬁrst aid kit, radio or mobile phone) with you in your back pack, you will always have it available when you need it while rescuing the subsequent buried subjects.



BarryTip: Place a visual indicator at

the point where you have found the lowest distance indication. The visual reference is important to probe in a systematic pattern.



If the buried subject is hit with the

probe, leave the probe in the snow.

Stash the device in search mode on your body (i.e. pocket) in order to have both hands available to probe. Begin probing in a spiral at a 90° angle to the snow surface. In particular if the debris is hard, guide the probe with two hands, one pushing from the top, the other guiding the probe closer to the snow surface in order to avoid bending the probe. Keep in mind that the remaining distance shown on the screen indicates the maximum possible distance to the buried subject. I.e. if you see 1.1 on the screen, the buried subject must be within

1.1m probing depth and spiral probe radius. In case there is no probe hit within this area, you have missed the buried subject. Repeat probing with a slightly oset probing pattern (chapter «Pinpointing with Transceiver and Probe Pole»).

Automatic Revert to SEND

For the safety of the rescuers, the device automatically switches into SEND mode after 4 minutes without user interaction or motion.

Leaving SEARCH Mode

After 4 seconds the device automatically switches into SEND mode.

Multiple Burials

The marking feature allows to continue the search for further buried subjects by marking the previously located ones as found. Excavate the buried subjects already found while the search continues, unless the burial depth is particularly deep.

Page 26

EXTENDED REFERENCE GUIDE

BARRYVOX

Search for Multiple Buried Subjects

The transceiver attempts to analyze all the detectable signals and to determine the number of buried subjects. This is possible because the signals from each transmitter have characteristics which are distinguishable from the signals of other transmitters. The more unique the signal characteristics are, the more accurately the signals can be distinguished and separated (pattern recognition). By automatically associating the signals with their respective sources, multiple burial situations can be solved without applying special search tactics. Transceivers which also transmit W-Link information can be detected particularly fast and reliably. The W-Link information includes a unique identiﬁcation as well as the trasmit pattern.

List of Buried Subjects

The buried subjects whose transmit patterns can be identiﬁed are inserted in the list of buried subjects based on their signal strength, usually corresponding with distance. The closest buried subject on the avalanche is shown at the bottom, the furthest at the top of the list. The list of buried subjects can show no more than 3 buried subjects at the time. In case the amount of recognized buried subjects is greater, arrow symbols indicate that the list contains further down or further up in the

list additional entries. Usually, the device guides you so that the list is processed from bottom to top. The lower, already hidden part of the list of buried subjects

. contains therefore the buried subjects which have already been marked as found, and the upper, not yet visible part of the list , the buried subjects which are not found yet and still ahead of you on the avalanche. Independently of the position of a buried subject in the list, the device will always try to guide you as quickly as possible until all recognized buried subjects are found.

Limitations

The larger the number of buried subjects, the more dicult and time-consuming the exact analysis of the situation gets, because of overlapping signals. The more signals there are, the longer the signal overlaps can last. The capability to automatically detect and isolate signals from multiple buried subjects is therefore limited.

Page 27

EXTENDED REFERENCE GUIDE

BARRYVOX

Procedure for Multiple Burials

1. The device favors the closest subject ﬁrst. Locate the various buried subjects using the transceiver and probe pole.

2. As soon as you mark an individual subject, the transceiver takes you to the next closest, unmarked buried subject.

3. Continue this procedure until all subjects are located and marked.

4. The rescuer now searches for additional buried subjects while the display shows the symbol for the signal search phase to indicate that the rest of the avalanche surface must be searched (Chapter «Signal Search»).

Page 28

EXTENDED REFERENCE GUIDE

BARRYVOX

Search With Multiple Rescuers

When the search is conducted with multiple rescuers searching at the same time, avoid searching for the same buried subject as another rescuer. Use the scrollbar, to choose in the list of buried subjects which buried subject you are searching for.

Situation 1: Two rescuers receive two buried subjects. One rescuer continues the search for the buried subject closest to him, the other rescuer should directly search for the second buried subject, without having to mark the ﬁrst one. The search is therefore continued on the current signal search pattern until the transceiver obviously leads to a dierent buried subject.

Situation 2: The two rescuers only receive one buried subject. One rescuer continues the search for the buried subject closest to him, the other rescuer should search the remaining of the avalanche for more buried subjects. The search is therefore continued on the current signal search pattern until the transceiver obviously leads to a dierent buried subject.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Maintenance and Repair

Barryvox transceivers, which do not function correctly, despite full and properly inserted batteries (e.g. no signal during the group check, mechanical defects) must be sent to a service center listed at the beginning of this manual.

Maintenance

The recommended date of the next check can be viewed under «Info» in the shut down sequence of the device.

Periodic check by a Barryvox Service Center

To check the proper function of the device it is highly recommended that the device be sent to a Barryvox service center every 3 years, or when reaching 3000 hours of operation or have it checked by a Barryvox service point (service charge will apply). The functional test is much more comprehensive and precise than the self and group check. As part of this service the electronics and the mechanical components such as the case, the main switch and the lateral key, the battery contacts, the battery compartment and cover as well as the wrist strap will be checked. In case the check shows abnormal wear and tear due to incorrect or long, very intense use, the service center may recommend that you replace the device.

We recommend that you have your device checked during the summer months so that your Barryvox is tested and ready to use at the start of the next winter season. The recommended date of the next check can be viewed under «Info» in the shut down sequence of the device.

COMPANION RESCUE

Companion rescue means that buried subjects are located and excavated by members of their party immediately after the avalanche slide. Avalanche rescue is a race against time! While most buried subjects can be rescued within the ﬁrst 18 minutes, the chances of survival decrease rapidly afterwards. Companion rescue, therefore, provides the greatest chances of survival for a buried subject.

If an Avalanche Occurs

As a Victim:



Escape to the side



Discard skis, snowboards, and poles



anchor eect



Try to stay on top



Close your mouth; place your hands in front of your face



Separate instructions apply for the use of specialized safety equipment, such as the highly ecient avalanche airbag.

As a Witness:



Memorize the last seen point as well as the

direction of the avalanche

(See chapter «Signal Search»).

Personal Rescue Equipment

Carrying the proper personal safety equipment is critical for effective companion rescue. A transceiver, a shovel, and a probe pole are necessary to localize and excavate a buried subject quickly and eciently. Mammut oers a variety of suitable probe poles and shovels. The use of an airbag system (ﬂotation device) signiﬁcantly reduces the risk of complete burial and therefore leads to considerably higher survival chances.

The use of the transceiver precedes the use of the probe pole and the use of the probe pole precedes the use of the shovel. Carrying a radio or a mobile phone to call for help is highly recommended.

Excavating the Buried Subject

The ﬁrst rescuer positions him/herself directly at the probe. All additional rescuers position themselves one shovel length from each other in the direction of snow removal, thus typically in the fall line. The rescuer at the tip of the conveyor belt digs directly following the probe to the buried subject, thus avoiding any chance to miss it.
