Owner's Manual

Thank you for choosing Tracker, featuring its legendary speed and
ease-of-use.
Remember, transceiver searches are only part of the avalanche rescue
process. It is equally important to practice the probing and shoveling
techniques found later in this section. For training videos on transceiver
searching, probing, and strategic shoveling techniques, please visit
www.backcountryaccess.com/videos.
Transmit mode: From the ‘O’ position, pull the sliding lock in the
direction of the arrow and turn the dial switch on top of the Tracker to
the transmit position (Figure D).
The battery life is then shown as a percentage in the distance/battery
power display .
On Tracker3+ and Tracker S, the battery life will be shown in the distance /
battery power display in Figure A.
Additionally, the Tracker4 will illuminate a battery symbol in the upper right
hand corner and a percentage symbol next to the number.
Note: the battery percentage is approximate. Replace batteries before
reaching 40 percent.
When in transmit mode, the Tracker cannot be turned to o or search
without pulling back the sliding lock.
Search mode: Pull the sliding lock and rotate the dial
switch to the search position. In search mode, the display
will periodically ash “SE” until a signal is detected. Upon
detecting a transmitting signal, Tracker will begin to display
distance and directional readings. At distances of less than
two meters, the directional lights are no longer shown.
Return to transmit: When in search mode, the sliding
lock does not need to be moved in order to return to
transmit mode. Simply rotate the switch back to the transmit position. The
Tracker will beep and ash “TR/tr” before it begins to transmit.
After 30 minutes in search mode, Tracker will beep every two minutes. After
approximately 12 hours in transmit mode, it will beep every two minutes.
