Batteries, Handling and Maintenan e
Only use alkaline R03/AAA batteries or
lithium ( R92/AAA) batteries of the same type.
Never use re hargeable batteries and al-
ways replace all the batteries at the same time.
When storing or not using the transceiver for
an extended period of time (summer), remove
the batteries. ithium Batteries do not need to
be removed. When reinserting the batteries,
use the same 3 batteries or 3 new batteries.
Handle your
Barryvox with
are. Do not
drop it on the
ground and
avoid me-
hani al
sho ks.
Avoid having other ele troni devi es (e.g.
mobile phones, radios, headlamps, cameras),
metal obje ts (pocket knives, magnetic but-
tons), or other transceivers close to your run-
ning avalanche transceiver.
To ensure the proper performance of the trans-
ceiver, it is highly recommended that you send
your device to an official Barryvox service cen-
ter once every three years for a functional
test. The recommended date of the next check
can be viewed under «Maintenance» in the
start menu.
Setup, Choi e of Profile and Calibration
When turning the device on for the first time
and switching to SEND, the user language and
profile must be selected. Afterwards, the user
will be prompted to calibrate the device. All
settings may be modified later at any time.
Press the -key to change the current selec-
tion and confirm by pressing the -key.
The profiles allow to adapt your PU SE Bar-
ryvox®quickly and easily to your user profile.
If one of the statements below applies to you,
then the Basic Profile is the best hoi e for
you:
- I am novi e or I did not mu h familiarize
myself with this topi up to now. I start
with the basi sear h mode which uses
only one-button and does not have any
additional fun tions. After some exercise,
I may switch to the more sophisticated «Ad-
vanced Profile».
- I use this device only for my rudimentary
trained parti ipants/guests
If none of the above statements apply to you,
use the more sophisticated Advanced Profile.
In this case, please consult the comprehensive
Reference Handbook on
www.mammut.ch/BarryvoxManual. The func-
tions and search modes of the Advanced Pro-
file are only described in the Reference
Handbook.

tally and press any key

procedure. Rotate the
horizontally held trans-
ceiver slowly and with constant speed clock-
wise until the message «Device calibrated!»

ceiver from OFF to SEND and press any key.
The start menu opens by showing its first

Carrying System and Carrying Positions
Regardless of the carrying position, the dis-
play should always face your body!
Carrying System (Recommended Carrying Position)
The carrying system has to be put on your in-
nermost layer of clothing prior to beginning
the trip (see illustration on the base plate of
the carrying system) and has to be worn on
your body for the duration of the trip. The
trans eiver shall always remain overed
by one layer of lothing. The device itself is
inserted into the carrying system according
to the illustration. It should always remain an-
chored to the base plate of the carrying sys-
tem using the red hook on the wrist loop.
Carrying the Trans eiver in a Po ket
(without vital data detection)
If you carry the Barryvox in a pant pocket, the
zipper must remain closed for the duration of
the trip. If possible, attach the wrist loop to
your pants or secure it around your belt.
