Operation Manual
(1) As soon as the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT picks
up signals, the approximate distance and direction
appear in the display. Matchstick men represent the
number of burials within the range of the device.
Using the arrow and distance reading, follow the
(2) Move in the direction indicated by the PIEPS
DSP PRO/DSP SPORT. The distance reading should
become progressively smaller. If it gets larger, switch
the search direction by 180°, i.e. turn round and
follow the opposite direction.

When you are closer than 5 m to the burial, it is strongly recommended to reduce your
moving speed (50 cm/sec). Keep the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT as close as possible to
the surface of the snow to have the minimum distance to the transmitting beacon.
To avoid confusion, the direction indication is suppressed at distances less than 2 m. Make
an exact last direction correction before the directional arrows are suppressed.
Reduce your moving speed again (10 cm/sec). Continue in the last displayed direction.
If the distance reading starts increasing again, move back to the point with the lowest
distance reading. At this point, try to get the lowest distance reading, using cross-like
movements (90°). Repeat the cross-like approach as long as no lower distance reading
can be determined. Do not rotate your PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT during the cross-like
movements. The PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT only shows one minimum pertaining to any
orientation of the transmitting beacon.
victim the beacons tone will become a faster pace/higher pitch.
Important! Before the direction arrows are suppressed,
the last distance correction has to be done exactly. You are
then moving to the transmitting beacon in best coupling
position and save time during the cross-like movements. In
the case of a deep burial it could happen that the minimum
direction indication is higher than 2 m!
Important! It’s strongly re-
commended to avoid hasty move-
ments (move approx. 10 cm/sec)
and avoid turning and rotating the
PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT.
