Scanning the avalanche track for transmit-
ters and locating each signal quickly and
exactly are the decisive advantages of the
ORTOVOX avalanche transceiver S1. An im-
mediate search with an avalanche transcei-
ver and a rescue using avalanche shovels and
a probe that is carried out by the tour parti-
cipants themselves offers the best chance of
survival for an avalanche victim. When third
party help has to be called to the scene it
usually arrives too late! Pay attention to the
avalanche report and select safe routes. Al-
ways take the avalanche transceiver S1 with
you together with the necessary ORTOVOX
SAFETY PRODUCTS such as an avalanche
shovel and a probe. Read the S1 operating
instructions carefully and practice both the
handling of your avalanche transceiver S1
and avalanche search procedures.
Information on ORTOVOX products and safety
notices can be found on the ORTOVOX web-
site at www.ortovox.com
