Avalanche Awareness
This is a basic introduction to avalanche safety and awareness.
We encourage you to read this manual thoroughly. We strongly
suggest taking an avalanche course in your area before venturing
into the backcountry.
Before leaving, call your local avalanche forecast center and determine
the danger level in the area you intend to visit.

Avalanche Awareness
At the trailhead, check that each person has a working transceiver,
probe, and shovel—and knows how to use them. We also recommend
the use of avalanche airbags and two-way radios.
Learn to recognize avalanche terrain:
• Doesthisslopehaveahistoryofsliding?
• Whatistheangleandaspectoftheslope?
• Willrecentweatherimpactsnowstability?
Learn to avoid avalanche terrain:
• Isthereanyevidenceofrecentavalancheactivity?
• Istheslopeanglebetween30and45degrees?
• Doestheslopeyouplantousehavedangerousterraintraps
 (rocks,trees,gullies,clis,etc.)?
No avalanche transceiver can help save lives without a fully trained user.
Practice frequently with your TrackerS before going into the backcountry.
Learn and understand the inherent dangers of backcountry travel. Become
educated in avalanche hazard evaluation, route selection, and self-rescue.
In addition to your transceiver, always carry a probe and shovel—and
always travel with a partner. We also recommend the use of avalanche
airbags and group communication devices, such as two-way radios.
Make sure all rescue equipment is functioning properly before venturing
into the backcountry. Perform a transceiver trailhead test every time
you use your TrackerS. Check that all transceivers transmit and receive
properly—and that all receive a signal at a minimum distance of 30meters
(98feet).
Do not place cellular phones, communication radios, GPS devices, digital
cameras,oranyotherelectronicequipmentwithin50cm(20inches)of
TrackerS while performing a transceiver search. In receive mode, irregular
readings, decreased range and multiple burial indications can be caused
by these and other sources of electrical interference, such as power lines,
electrical storms, and electrical generating equipment. In transmit mode,
keepTrackerSatleast20cm(8inches)fromotherelectronicequipment
or large metal objects. Use only alkaline batteries of identical age and
brand. Do not use rechargeable, lithium, Oxyride, PowerPix, or any
other non-alkaline battery.
This owner’s manual covers the basic techniques required to use TrackerS
eectively.Toincreaseyoureciency,refertoourwebsite:www.

Thank you for choosing TrackerS, featuring Tracker’s famous
ease-of-use in a smaller, lighter package.
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, strategic shoveling, patient care, and evacuation,
please visit www.backcountryaccess.com/education.
Transmit mode: Fromthe‘O’position,pulltheslidinglockn in the
direction of the arrow and turn the dial switch j on top of TrackerS to
thetransmit(“TR”)position(seeFigureC).

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.

Auto Revert Mode: Auto revert mode will make your TrackerS
automaticallyreverttoTR(transmit)ifthesearcherremainsin
searchmodeformorethanveminutes. An alarm will sound
30secondsbeforetheunitreturnstotransmitmode.Thiscan
be avoided by pressing the Options button or turning the dial

Low battery warning: At40percentbatterypower,theaudible
soundsatstartupwillnolongerbeheard.At20percent,no
sounds will be heard in search mode.
When the battery power becomes too low to operate, the
transceiverwilldisplaythe“Lb”sign.Whenyouseethis,
replace the batteries before further use. When batteries are too
lowtodostartuproutines,asimple“0”willblinkonthedisplay.
Mismatched batteries can act unpredictably at various temperatures
and low batteries can die unexpectedly fast. Therefore, we strongly
recommend changing batteries once the battery power indicator reaches
40percent.
NOTE:nevermixnewandusedbatteriesinyourtransceiver–orbatteries
of mixed brands. Never use lithium or rechargeable batteries. These may
all lead to an inaccurate battery power indication.
Familiarization
Signal Suppression: Signal Suppression mode suppresses the strongest
signal and shows the searcher the second strongest signal, including
directional arrows. Always stay in standard search mode when searching
forthersttransmitter.Oncetherstvictimhasbeenlocatedandyourne
search is complete, you are ready to use Signal Suppression.
Signal Suppression mode is activated by pressing the Options
buttonuntil“SS”isshownonthedisplay.Toentersuppression
mode,theOptionsbuttonmustbereleasedbefore“BP”is
displayed.Themultiplevictimiconwillashalternatelywhilein
SS mode.
If Tracker S has not collected enough data of multiple transceivers and you
trytosupress,bothmultipleburialiconswillashsimultaneously.
Suppression of the strongest signal will last for one minute, giving the
searcher time to move away from the suppressed signal and lock on to the
next transmitter. The TrackerS will automatically default from suppression
mode to standard search mode after one minute. This can also be done
manually,bypressingtheOptionsbuttonuntil“SE”isdisplayed.When
returningtosearchmode,themultiplevictimiconwillstopashingand
the TrackerS will isolate the strongest signal.
NOTE:Signalsuppressioncanbeunreliablewhenattempting
to suppress older analog transceivers.
Big Picture: Big Picture mode is the closest thing to an analog
transceiver in the digital world. It displays distances and
directions of all the transceivers that are transmitting within
range. With Big Picture mode, you can estimate how many
transceivers are in the search area along with their approximate direction.
YoucanalsoperformasearchinBPmode,butalwaysremembertoreturn
tonormalsearchmodeduringthenesearchwhenyou’regettingcloseto
the victim.
Big Picture mode is activated by holding down the Options button
until“BP”ashesinthedisplay.Youmustcontinuetoholddownthe
Options button to stay in BP mode. Once the mode button is released,
the TrackerS will
automatically return
to search mode and
isolate the strongest
signal.

Signal Search: The signal search refers to the process of establishing a
searchpatternandlookingforasignal.Thesearchpatternwillbedened
by the victim’s last seen area, the size of the slide, and the number of
searchers. Refer to Figure F to establish a signal search pattern. If the slide
islessthan40meterswide,thesignalsearchpathwillbedirectlyupor
downthecenter.Ifthevictim’slastseenareaiswelldened,thesignal
searchwillfollowadirectpathalongthefallline(upordown)fromthispoint.
Distance/directional display should be against your body and transmit light
should be exposed and visible.
To search, remove TrackerS from its pouch, but keep the harness on and
lanyard attached. If using without a harness, keep TrackerS in a secure
pocket, preferably in your pants or other garment that won’t be removed
while traveling in the backcountry. Attach the lanyard clip to a belt or
othersolidxture.Ifthelanyardisremovedfromharnessorclothingfor
searching, keep it attached to your wrist with the loop provided.
Power Supply
TrackerS operates with three AAA alkaline batteries. Use only high-quality
alkaline batteries of identical age and brand. Do not use rechargeable,
lithium, Oxyride, PowerPix or any other non-alkaline battery. Replace with
fresh batteries at the beginning of every season.
If TrackerS is exposed to excessive moisture, open the battery door m
to help allow the unit to dry. To prevent corrosion of contacts, remove
batteries during extended periods of inactivity. The manufacturer does not
warranty damage caused by battery corrosion.
Trailhead Test
Alwaysperformatrailhead(or“group”)functiontestatthestartofevery
trip. Make sure that your search and transmit functions work, the display is
readable, and the batteries have adequate charge. In addition, a range test
should be performed if there are any changes within the group.
Range Test
If your group has new members, new transceivers, or there is any reason to
suspect there is a transceiver with compromised performance, start your trip with
a range test in addition to the trailhead function test. Do not proceed to avalanche
terrainiftherangebetweenanytwotransceiversislessthan30meters.

Prior to the signal search, be sure that all transceivers are turned to search
mode. Rotate TrackerSslowlyinalldirections(FigureG)whilemoving
along your signal search pattern. While searching, be aware of other
physical clues, such as equipment or extremities protruding from the
snowsurface.Whennosignalisdetected,“SE”willashinthedistance
indicator. Once a signal is detected consistently, mark this spot and begin
the coarse search.
Slowly rotate the Tracker horizontally and
vertically in your hand, but move rapidly
during the signal search. Do not abandon
your search path until you have captured
a strong, steady signal. Ignore irregular
signals, which can sometimes be caused
by electrical interference.
Figure G
Coarse Search: The coarse search is the portion of the search from where
you have detected a steady signal to where you are close to the victim.
Once the signal is consistently detected, rotate TrackerS slowly on a
horizontal plane until the center direction light p is blinking.
TrackerS is now pointed in the direction of the strongest signal. The four
lights on either side of center tell you which way to rotate TrackerS to
engage the center light. The distance indicator k tells you, in approximate
meters,howfaryoumusttravel(1meter=1.1yardsor3.3feet).Ifthe
number on the distance indicator is increasing, you are on the same axis
asthevictim’ssignal,butmovingintheoppositedirection.Turn180
degrees, engage the center search light again, and continue your search
in the direction TrackerS is pointing. If you are stationary, but the distance
issignicantlychanging,youareprobablydetectingthesignalofanother
rescuer. Make sure all rescuers are in search mode before continuing.
Youmayndthat,whilefollowingthedirectionallights,yourroutefollows
an arc. This is because TrackerS follows the shape of the electromagnetic
signal coming from the transmitting transceiver’s antenna. The distance
displayed is the distance to be traveled along that signal, not the straight-
line distance from you to the victim.

range. Stay in search mode and focus on the closest distance reading,
attempting to engage that signal in the center search light.

Isolating multiple victims: Complex multiple burials are rare in
recreational settings and usually can be treated as a series of single burials
performed in normal search mode. The only time multiple burials can
becometrulycomplexiswhenit’snotpossibletoturnotherstvictim’s
transceiver,whenthevictimsareincloseproximity(≤10m)toeachother,
or if there are three or more victims.
The following icons help to determine how many buried victims are within
rangeoftherescuerandwhethertheyareincloseproximitytoeachother:
More than
one signal
within range.
Two victims both
within six meters
of the searcher.
More than
two signals
within range.
More than two sig-
nals within range
and at least two
within six meters.
Bothvictimsashing
at the same time
means there isn’t
enough data for
suppression.
Both victims
ashing
alternatively
means under

If directional arrows are
ashingwhileinsuppression

and you should keep moving
in the latest direction.
Ifit’snotpossibletoturnoavictim’stransceiver,useSignalSuppression

It is important to note that Signal Suppression, marking, and other
formsofsignalisolationarenot100percentreliable,especiallywhen
searching for older analog transceivers. This is due to the possibility
of overlapping signals, especially when more than two transmit signals
are within range. Due to their imprecise transmit signals, analog
transceivers can sometimes trigger multiple burial indications. For these
reasons, it’s important to learn some of the backup techniques described
at www.backcountryaccess.com/tracker-resources.
