Isolating multiple victims: Complex multiple burials are rare in
recreational settings and usually can be treated as a series of single burials
performed in normal search mode. The only time multiple burials can
become truly complex is when it’s not possible to turn o the rst victim’s
transceiver, when the victims are in close proximity (≤10 m) to each other,
or if there are three or more victims.
The following icons help to determine how many buried victims are within
range of the rescuer and whether they are in close proximity to each other:
More than
one signal
within range.
Two victims both
within six meters
of the searcher.
More than
two signals
within range.
More than two signals
within range and at least
two within six meters.
Both victims ashing
at the same time:
Not enough data
for suppression.
Both victims
ashing
alternatively:
Signal
suppression.
Three middle directional arrows
are ashing while in suppression:
Overlapping signals.
Keep moving in the direction
you’ve been traveling.
If it’s not possible to turn o a victim’s transceiver, use Signal Suppression
to nd the next closest victim. Press and immediately release the
Options button . “SS” will be shown in the display and the icons in the
multiple burial indicator will ash back and forth. Follow the distance and
direction to the next victim. Remember that the rst victim’s signal will be
suppressed for one minute, at which time the icons in the multiple burial
indicator will stop ashing. To go back to normal search mode before one
minute has elapsed, simply press the Options button.
