Operating Instructions
If auto-revert has been engaged, then after five minutes in search
mode, an alarm will sound for ten seconds and "Ar" will flash
repeatedly in the distance indicator. To remain in search mode, press
the search/transmit button or the options button at any time during
the ten-second alarm period. If ten seconds elapses, “tr” will appear
and the Tracker will revert to transmit mode.
If auto-revert is not engaged, the Tracker will sound a short alarm
every ten minutes to remind the user that he or she is in search
mode.
Special Mode: Special (SP) mode is an advanced feature designed
to assist expert searchers in specialized multiple burial situations.
These situations are typically only found in guided groups where
victims are in close proximity and one rescuer can start shoveling
while a professional guide resumes the transceiver search. SP mode
can provide that searcher with a distance and direction to the next
victim.
In search (SE) mode, the Tracker only displays the strongest signal
(once the searcher is within about ten meters). In special (SP) mode,
however, it will display all signals, regardless of their strength—
providing they are within special mode’s reduced search window. In
special mode, the search area is reduced from 180 degrees—front
and back—to about 75 degrees: signals will only be displayed if they
are captured within the center three directional lights.
Special mode can only be entered while the user is in search mode.
To enter SP mode, press the options button
z. When
signals are detected in this mode, they are displayed for a shorter
time than in SE mode.
Mute Mode: To mute the sound while in search mode, push the
options button
z for three seconds until “LO” is displayed, then
release. To turn the speaker back on, perform the same operation.
“L1” will be displayed, indicating the speaker is on.
