25Scanning the avalanche track for transmit-ters and locating each signal quickly andexactly are the decisive advantages of theORTOVOX avalanche transceiver S1. An im-mediate search with an avalanche transcei-ver and a rescue using avalanche shovels anda probe that is carried out by the tour parti-cipants themselves offers the best chance ofsurvival for an avalanche victim. When thirdparty help has to be called to the scene itusually arrives too late! Pay attention to theavalanche report and select safe routes. Al-ways take the avalanche transceiver S1 withyou together with the necessary ORTOVOXSAFETY PRODUCTS such as an avalancheshovel and a probe. Read the S1 operatinginstructions carefully and practice both thehandling of your avalanche transceiver S1and avalanche search procedures.Information on ORTOVOX products and safetynotices can be found on the ORTOVOX web-site at www.ortovox.comContact us by e-mail atortovox@ortovox.comORTOVOX wishes you wonderful, safe tours!CONTENTOperating elements 25Technical data 26EU Declaration of Conformity 26Quick reference 27Basic avalanche know-how 30Operating instructions 34Coarse, refined and pinpoint location 36Menue at a glance 39Daily function check 40Locating severalavalanche victims 40Acoustic emergency reception 41Interfernce 42Battery changes 42Protective case and wrist strap 42Guarantee/ service 43Service addresses 112www.ortovox.comCurrent avalanche warning service information!1ON/ OFF button (and MENU function button)2Screen with display of victim location3Sensor for back-lighting4Transmission indication lights5Loudspeaker6Bottons to release openENGLISHOPERATING ELEMENTS31210119876547‘Select’ button for menu and for flagging8Battery compartment (on rear) 649Protective case with carrying strap10 Quick lock11 Shoulder strap markings (SILVER)

28 29ENGLISHPINPOINT LOCATION:The sensors, the 3 reception antennas and the paten-ted circular illustration on the S1 simplify pinpointlocation and make it more precise.The process of pinpoint location begins automatically at a distance of 3m. The search is approaching the victim: the arrows show towards the centre of the cir-cle. The closer he comes to the victim the faster theacoustic signal sounds. Hold the S1 steady in front of you. Do not turn, tip,or rotate the S1 during pinpoint location! The searcher is approaching the victim: the distance is 2m, the circle becomes smaller and the arrows are pointing to the centre of the circle.The searcher is moving away from the victim. The circle becomes larger, the arrows are pointing outwards as the distance increases.The previously achieved, closer position is stored and isreferenced by the inner, lighter circle shown on the screen.The searcher is once again approaching the victim. The circle is becoming smaller, the arrows are pointingto the centre and the distance to the victim is reducing. The victim has been buried at a depth of 0.9m. No smaller numbers and no smaller circles are visible.Use the select button (confirmation button) to mark the beacon. The first victim has been found and is marked using the confirmation button (“select”, 7). Now the search can begin for the second and third victims (at distances of 10m and 15m respectively). COARSE SEARCH:If there is no transmission signal being received then thescreen will automatically display instructions to carry outa coarse search. Search the avalanche track in searchstrips of 40m! REFINING LOCATION:At approximately 55 m distance from the victim the victim symbol will appear on the display screen (2) with the digital distance measurement “55”. The searcher aims the vertical line to the middle of the victim symbol and then moves towards the victim. The acoustic signal from the loudspeaker will soundfaster as the distance reduces and thus confirm themeasurement result. The S1 should be moved deliberately and precisely, the closer to the victim. The distance to the victim is now 20m. Two further victims are shown at distances of 25m and 30m.Press both release buttons (6) at the sametime and open the S1.The search situation willbe displayed automati-cally on the screen (2).RECEIVE = SEARCH:Hold the S1 in a horizontal (flat) position during the search!

30 31AVALANCHESFour fundamental fac-tors influence the avalan-che situation. Weather,terrain and snow coverare inseparably connec-ted - these factors in-fluence each other andmake an evaluation verycomplex. Man (Humanfactors) and his beha-vior represent thegreatest uncertainty fac-tor. The prerequisite forslab avalanches is cohe-sive snow (usually driftsnow) in conjunctionwith a weak layer that issensitive to interference,on a steep slope.Only man makes ava-lanche danger a risk!TERRAINSLOPE FORMTerrain forms influenceavalanche formationbecause they exert adeciding influence onwind direction andspeed, and thus thescope of snow loading.Thus terrain is the help-ful partner in evaluatingthe avalanche danger.Good visibility and a lotof experience are ne-cessary in order to makesuch an evaluation.Terrain forms influenceavalanche formation.ASPECTThe slope form (alsoreferred to as aspect)influences the tempera-ture of the snow coverand its structure. Onshaded slopes (directionNW to NE) the snowcover settles very slowlydue to low sun inci-dence. Existing dangersremain intact for alonger period and newdangers occur. 70% of all avalancheaccidents occur onnorth aspects (W via N to E).SLOPEThe steepness of a slopeis the essential prere-quisite for formation ofa snow slab. This factorplays a major role in theevaluation and the de-cision making process. When determining slopeincline, the steepestpoint of a slope shouldbe considered.If you do not go tosteep slopes, the risk of triggering an avalanche can be significantly reduced.WEATHERPRECIPITATIONThe amount of precipi-tation, (in conjunctionwith wind, temperature,and the existing oldsnow cover), is a cen-tral value to evaluateavalanche danger. Critical new snow accumulation (within the previous 1-3 days)10–20cm for unfavor-able conditions20–30cm for moderateconditions BASIC AVALANCHE KNOW-HOWTerrain - Weather - Snow pack - Human factorsSNOW COVERDepending on the weather situation andthe stability of the ter-rain differences occur in the snow cover (snow slab prerequisitesare "cohesive snow" and "bed surface"). The following applies:• Stability on the specificslope can vary greatly.• Over so-called hotspots (very weak slopeareas, where there ispractically no connec-tion to the underlyinglayer), it is particularlyeasy for a skier totrigger the avalanche.In this case the ava-lanche can be triggeredby the added load onthe snow pack causedby one skier.Alarm signals are:Breaking noises in thesnow cover (“WUMPF”),tears in the snow cover,snow slabs that havealready been released.Alarm signals indicatesignificant avalanchedanger.HUMAN FACTORMan is the most decisi-ve avalanche factor.Experience, knowledge,personal skill, and beha-vior are also crucial cri-teria for avoiding avalan-ches. Conscientioustour planning, alertobservation and cons-cious, risk-reducing decisions are the indis-pensable components of any type of off-pisteactivity.The avalanche situationreport is available at www.lawinensicherheit.deand www.ortovox.comor via telephone.30–60cm for favorableconditionsNew snow accumula-tion is not the onlydeciding criterion; theconditions during andafter the snowfall arethe deciding criteria!TEMPERATURELow temperatures andwarm air incidence exerta massive influence on the transformation processes within thesnow cover, and thusthe avalanche situation.WINDWind is the master builder of an avalanche,because it ensures formation of snow slabsthrough snow loads. In this process particlesof snow are reduced in size, loaded, anddeposited as cohesivedrift snow. The stronger the wind,the greater the accu-mulation of drift snow.ENGLISH

The ON/OFFbutton (‘menue’) is usedto reduce the signal.The ‘select’ button isused to increase thevolume level.After initial receptionthe loudspeaker willsound the transmissionsignal. TURN the S1 inorder to determine thedirection with the stron-gest reception. Now thesearcher will move inthis direction for 5 m,reducing the volume ifnecessary. Then thesearcher once againturns the S1 to thedirection with the highestvolume and again moves5 m in this direction. The volume increasesas the searcher movescloser to the avalanchevictim. During the pinpointingphase (= lowest recep-tion level) do not turn or tip the S1. Nowmark the point in thelongitudinal directionwith the loudest signal.A search is also madefor the loudest signal tothe right and left of thispoint. The avalanche victim is located at thepoint with the loudestsignal.40ENGLISHDAILY FUNCTION TEST BEFORE STARTING A TOUR! FAST GROUP TEST The group leader sets his/her S1 to receive using menu item 7 (‘fast group test’). If the S1 receives an audible (via the loudspeaker) and visiblesignal (circle with 2 persons) from each individual avalanche trans-ceiver then the transmission function of the units to be tested andthe reception function of the group leader are in order. In the event of discrepancies from the functions of the avalanche transceiveras described above please send the S1 directly to your ORTOVOX serviceoffice for inspection (see page 112).LOCATING SEVERAL AVALANCHE VICTIMS (SIGNAL SEPARATION): With the S1 signal separation is carried out by marking thefirst victim to be located. It is necessary to have a short pause between the signals. Itmay take slightly longer to be able to separate three or moresignals due to signal overlap. The receiver needs adequatetime to differentiate between each additional transmittedsignal.Thus it is practically impossible to separate more than 3-4 signals within a reasonable time and to show them on the display. The S1 thereforeautomatically reduces its range until the number of signals has been reducedto a quantity that can be displayed in a reasonable time. If there are morethan 3-4 avalanche victims we recommend repeating location from a greaterdistance (at least 20 m from left or right) after they have been located andmarked in the avalanche area. Before a re-start the previous signal separa-tion must, however, be deleted with the ‘select’ button. CAUTION:it is, of course, possible to get a bearing on signals that have already been located. The searcher shouldthen concentrate on signals that have not yet been marked in the avalanche area.41
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!Remove the batteries from the avalanche transceiver during the summermonths. The ORTOVOX factory guarantee is invalidated by damage due to battery leakage. Never use rechargeable batteries (rechargeable batteries such as Ni-Cd cells). Rechargeable batteries have significantly lower operating voltage,and thus lower range and limited service life.In addition defective rechargeable batteries cannot be detected immediately. Once they have been recharged they show full battery voltage, however theycan drop off to 0 after extremely short service (life threatening hazard!).If you delay changing batteries (capacity <20%), the micro-processor, thedistance display, and direction display will switch off. In such case, approxi-mately only twenty hours of emergency analog transmit operation and onehour of emergency receive operation are possible.42 43ENGLISHINTERFERENCE IN TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING PERFORMANCETransmitting and receiving performance can be interferred by lightnings, skilifts, power lines and plants, walkie-talkies, mobile phones and headlamps withvoltage regulators. When in use, we recommend switching off mobile phones and walkie-talkies.Minimum distance of 30 cm between two avalanche transceivers, metal, wal-kie-talkie, mobile phone, etc.Der erforderliche Neustart (RESET) wird durch Unterbrechung eines Batterie-kontaktes (10 Sekunden) erreicht.CHANGING BATTERIES (when the equipment is switched off)Remove the screw from the battery compartment (8) on the back of the S1and remove the batteries from the battery shaft using the strap. Replace threefresh AAA Alkaline batteries 1.5V LR 03 and make sure the positive and nega-tive poles are inserted correctly. Use only brand name batteries. Cheap batte-ries can be slightly slimmer and/or shorter and thus correct contact with thebattery poles cannot be ensured. No rechargerable batteries and no lithium batteries.SEPARATING THE PROTECTIVE CASE FROM THE AVALANCHE TRANSCIEVER AND ATTACHING THE WRIST STRAP The protective case can be separated from the avalanche transciever for cleaningpurposes. The wrist strap can be attached in place of the protective case.Open the battery compartment on the rear of the S1 and remove the fixing rodwith the rubber cord. Now replace the fixing rod for the wrist strap in the samespace and screw the battery compartment closed.For safety reasons, ORTOVOX only recommends using only the protectivesafety case that is supplied with the transceiver.
44STORAGEAfter the tour take offthe S1 and store it inits switched off statusin a well-ventilated drylocation. Most often,the well-designed casingprevents condensationfor the most part. Toensure that the devicewill function for severalyears we recommend a gentle drying of the carrying system and theavalanche transceiver,itself. If your transceivergets wet, do not usedirect heat, i.e. hairdryer, to dry it out.Heat applied in such adirect manner may causepermanent damage.Protect the avalanchetransceiver from exces-sive moisture or exces-sive heat. Protect thebatteries from cold temperatures.GUARANTEEWith the purchase of anew ORTOVOX avalanchetransceiver and submis-sion of the filled-out gua-rantee card (page 45) afull five-year factory gua-rantee starting from thedate of manufacture isprovided.
