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.
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).
U.S.
Canada
Europe
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
effectively. To increase your efficiency, refer to our website: www.
backcountryaccess.com. Here you will also find important resources
for obtaining avalanche education and updates on regional avalanche
conditions.
To ensure warranty protection and to be notified of software updates,
please complete an online warranty registration at:
www.backcountryaccess.com/warranty.
Conforms to the R&TTE harmonized version of the EN 300 718 and meets
or exceeds the requirements of Articles 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
ENGLISH
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.
Before leaving, call your local avalanche forecast center and determine
the danger
N 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, cliffs, etc.)?
Avalanche Awareness
When traveling in a group, be aware of the errors groups
typically make:
•
Recreating at an area that’s been visited without incident before
and feeling confident in its stability.
•
Not speaking out or communicating concerns about a path
or slope, fearing conflict.
•
Being overconfident in the groups’ abilities.
•
Determination to reach a destination without re-evaluating terrain
and conditions.
If in doubt, it is always best to avoid questionable terrain and return
when the snow is stable.
If you are caught in an avalanche:
•
Yell “avalanche” and wave your arms to alert your group.
•
Deploy your avalanche airbag if you have one.
•
Try to escape the slide by grabbing trees or rocks or “swimming”
to the side.
•
Try to keep your airway clear of snow.
•
When you feel the slide slowing, thrust a hand upward in hopes
of it being seen.
•
Place your other hand in front of your face to increase the
air space.
•
Remain calm, breathe slowly and conserve your air.
Searching for victims:
•
Do not go for help! You are the victim’s only chance of survival!
•
Establish a last seen point.
•
Confirm you are not in danger of a second avalanche occurring.
•
Look for visual clues to the victim’s location.
•
Begin your signal search for the victim using your avalanche
transceiver.
Thank you for choosing TrackerS, featuring Tracker’s famous
ease-of-use in a smaller, lighter package.
ENGLISH
Travel with considerate partners:
•
Cross potentially dangerous terrain one at a time.
•
Identify and practice stopping in safe zones.
•
Have an escape route in mind if the slope does avalanche.
•
Communicate with your partners before moving on to the slope.
Familiarization
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 ‘Off’ 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).
Figure C
Top view of
TrackerS.
The battery life is then shown in the distance/battery power display k
in Figure A.
After displaying battery power, TrackerS flashes “TR” and enters transmit
mode. The transmit light l flashes with every transmit pulse.
This light will not flash if the battery power is below 20 percent.
In addition to being displayed at startup, the battery power level can also
be checked in transmit mode by pressing the Options button o.
Note: the battery percentage is approximate. Replace batteries m before
reaching 40 percent. Batteries that were installed in the transceiver the
previous season should be replaced, as they can result in misleading
battery power readings. z
When in transmit mode, the TrackerS cannot be turned to off or search
without pulling back the sliding lock.
Search mode: Pull the sliding lock n and rotate the dial switch to the
search (“SE”) position. In search mode, the display will periodically flash
“SE” until a signal is detected. Upon detecting a transmitting
signal, TrackerS will begin to display distance and directional
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.
The Tracker will beep and flash “TR” before it begins to transmit.
Familiarization
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 five 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
switch before the 30-second warning period has elapsed.
Auto revert mode is activated by holding down the Options button
while turning on the device, in either transmit or search mode. You must
continue to hold down the Options button until “Ar” is shown on the
display.
Before “Ar” is shown, other diagnostics will be displayed, including “TS,”
“r.c.” (with software version number) and battery power percentage.
If choosing to use auto revert, it must be activated every time the unit
is turned on. Otherwise, the unit can only be switched from search to
transmit mode manually.
Muting the Sound: The sound in Search mode can be muted
by pressing the Options button while switching from transmit
to search mode. “LO” will appear in the display and all sounds
assisting the search function are muted.
(software text deleted)
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.
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 first transmitter. Once the first victim has been located and your fine
search is complete, you are ready to use Signal Suppression.
ENGLISH
After 30 minutes in search mode, TrackerS will beep every two minutes.
After 12 hours in transmit mode, it will beep every two minutes. These beeps
are reminders that there has been no user input and TrackerS is still on.
Familiarization
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 flash 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 flash 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 flashing 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 fine search when you’re getting close to
the victim.
Big Picture mode is activated by holding down the Options button
until “BP” flashes 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

Familiarization
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.
TrackerS operates using the 457 kHz international standard frequency.
It is fully compatible with all avalanche transceivers adhering to
this standard. Do not use with 457 kHz transceivers designed for
firefighter rescue.
When searching, keep TrackerS at least 20” (50 cm) away from
electrical equipment, including cell phones and video cameras.
Turn all non-essential electrical equipment off if possible.
The search process includes four phases: the signal search, the coarse
search, the fine search, and the pinpointing/probing phase (See Figure E).
Figure E
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
Objective: Locate signal
• If no "last seen area," search entire path
• Rotate Tracker horizontally and vertically
• Max 40 m between searchers or switchbacks

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 fixture. If the lanyard is removed from harness or clothing for
searching, keep it attached to your wrist with the loop provided.

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.
For details on how to perform function and range tests, please see www.
backcountryaccess.com/education.

Signal Search: The signal search refers to the process of establishing a
search pattern and looking for a signal. The search pattern will be defined
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 defined, the signal
search will follow a direct path along the fall line (up or down) from this point.

If the slide is wider than 40 meters and there is no last seen point, cover
the entire slide area by using switchbacks in the search pattern (Figure F).
If multiple rescuers are available, establish a search pattern where the
space between searchers is no more than 40 meters and the distance to
the edges is no more than 20 meters.
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 significantly changing, you are probably detecting the signal of another
rescuer. Make sure all rescuers are in search mode before continuing.
You may find 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 straightline distance from you to the victim.
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 flash in the distance
indicator. Once a signal is detected consistently, mark this spot and begin
the coarse search.

Bracketing: Make sure
you go well past the
low reading to confirm
it is the lowest. When
bracketing, ignore the
directional lights, which
no longer illuminate at
less than two meters.
Do not rotate the
transceiver during
this process, as it can
change the distance
readings.
Shoveling
Shoveling is difficult and consumes the majority of time during an avalanche
rescue. For best results, start shoveling just downhill of the probe (Figure J).
Make sure your hole is at least one “wingspan” wide. In burials deeper than
one meter, excavate downhill about 1.5 times the burial depth.

readings. From the point where you have located the smallest reading,
“bracket” at 90-degree angles to the left and then to the right in search of
a lower reading (Figure H). Repeat if necessary along both axes. Begin
probing at the lowest distance reading.
Pinpointing/Probing
At your lowest distance reading, probe in concentric circles, with each
probe hole about 10 inches (25 cm) apart (Figure I). Your probe should
enter the snow perpendicular to the slope. Once you have confirmed the
victim’s location, leave the probe in the snow.

Multiple Burials
When more than one transmitting victim is within the receiving range of
TrackerS, the multiple burial icon q will illuminate and stay solid. (Note:
this icon can occasionally illuminate irregularly in the presence
of electromagnetic noise or when detecting older analog transceivers).
If there are more than two transmitting victims within range, then the
“+” icon will illuminate.
If the multiple burial icon is illuminated and/or TrackerS displays more than
one distance and direction, then there are probably several victims within
range. Stay in search mode and focus on the closest distance reading,
attempting to engage that signal in the center search light.
Once you are significantly closer to one signal than the other, TrackerS
will “lock” onto that signal and mask out the others. Once this signal
is isolated, TrackerS will behave very similar to how it does in a single
transceiver search. Once you have located and excavated the first victim,
turn his or her transceiver off if you determine the conditions are safe.
If you have a clear signal, then begin searching for the next victim.
If it is not possible to turn off the first victim’s transceiver—and you have
enough people to begin shoveling—then we recommend isolating the
next signal using Signal Suppression.

Fine Search: The fine
search is the final part of
the transceiver search,
which is performed on
foot with the transceiver
positioned at or near
the snow surface. The
objective of the fine
search is to locate where
the signal is strongest
(distance reading is
lowest) and to reduce
the area to be probed.

More than two signals within range
and at least two

Using Big Picture Mode: Big Picture mode is a valuable feature that can
be used to gain an overview of the scenario and optimize the efficiency
of your search. It can be used at the beginning of a scenario to assign
rescuers to each displayed signal. It is also valuable in situations involving
more than two signals within range.
Remember, TrackerS suppresses only one signal at a time. When you
suppress a second signal, it will then show you the next closest signal–
even if that victim’s signal was suppressed earlier. If victim #3 is closer
to victim #2 than victim #1 (scenario A, below), then suppressing victim
#2’s signal will take you to victim #3 automatically. However, if victim #1 is
closer than victim #3, (scenario B), TrackerS will bring you back to victim
#1. If this is the case, use Big Picture mode to find the general direction to
the third signal. After moving closer to the third signal, release the Options
button and TrackerS will automatically isolate that third signal.
Figure K
TrackerS suppresses one signal at a time. When suppressing victim #2’s
signal, if victim #3 is further away from victim #2 than #1 (scenario B), then
use Big Picture mode to move toward #3.
Scenario A
Both victims flashing
at the same time
means there isn’t
enough data for
suppression.

means under

If directional arrows are
flashing while in suppression
mode, there’s an overlap
and you should keep moving
in the latest direction.
If it’s not possible to turn off a victim’s transceiver, use Signal Suppression
to find the next closest victim. Press and immediately release the
Options button (6). “SS” will be shown in the display and the icons in the
multiple burial indicator will flash back and forth. Follow the distance and
direction to the next victim. Remember that the first victim’s signal will be
suppressed for one minute, at which time the icons in the multiple burial
indicator will stop flashing. To go back to normal search mode before one
minute has elapsed, simply press the Options button.

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.

ENGLISH
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 off the first victim’s
transceiver, when the victims are in close proximity (≤10 m) to each other,
or if there are three or more victims.

Informazioni sulla garanzia
Garanzia limitata
Backcountry Access, Inc. (BCA) garantisce che il prodotto sarà privo di difetti di
materiale e manodopera per un periodo di cinque (5) anni dalla data di acquisto.  
Qualora dovesse presentarsi un difetto entro il periodo di garanzia di cinque (5) anni,
BCA riparerà o sostituirà, a propria discrezione, il prodotto o il componente difettoso,
senza alcun costo. BCA si impegna a riparare o sostituire il prodotto con un prodotto
identico o ragionevolmente equivalente, a propria scelta, oppure - qualora non fosse
possibile provvedere prontamente alla sostituzione - potrebbe optare per il rimborso
del prezzo di acquisto (decurtato di un valore ragionevole corrispondente al grado di
usura effettiva). I prodotti sostitutivi forniti ai sensi della presente garanzia sono coperti
da garanzia solo per il tempo restante del periodo di garanzia originale.
Tale garanzia si applica all’acquirente originale del prodotto al dettaglio, a decorrere
dalla data dell’acquisto iniziale e non è trasferibile. Si consiglia pertanto di conservare
lo scontrino originale, poiché potrebbe essere richiesto di fornire una prova di
acquisto per applicare i diritti di garanzia. Qualora non fosse possibile fornire la prova

modificare o cambiare in alcuni modo i termini e le condizioni della presente garanzia.
Limitazioni
La presente garanzia non si applica se il prodotto (a) è alterato, modificato o
manomesso in qualsiasi modo da chiunque oppure (b) è danneggiato a seguito di
negligenza, incidente, uso anomalo/non ragionevole o per altre cause non correlate
a difetti di materiale o di manodopera. Inoltre la garanzia non copre cause di forza
maggiore, come incendi, inondazioni, uragani e tornado.
BCA NON SARÀ RESPONSABILE DEL DECESSO O DI LESIONI PERSONALI, NÉ DEL
DANNEGGIAMENTO DI COSE O DI EVENTUALI DANNI ACCIDENTALI, ACCESSORI O
CONSEGUENZIALI CAUSATI DALLA VIOLAZIONE DI QUALSIASI GARANZIA ESPRESSA
O IMPLICITA. L’UNICA RESPONSABILITÀ DI BCA DERIVANTE DALLA PRESENTE
GARANZIA SI LIMITA ALLA RIPARAZIONE O SOSTITUZIONE DEL PRODOTTO
DIFETTOSO. TRANNE CHE PER QUANTO ESPRESSAMENTE VIETATO DALLE LEGGI
IN MATERIA, OGNI GARANZIA IMPLICITA DI COMMERCIABILITÀ O IDONEITÀ A UN
PARTICOLARE SCOPO È LIMITATA ALLA DURATA DELLA GARANZIA SUDDETTA.
ALCUNI STATI, PROVINCE O GIURISDIZIONI NON CONSENTONO L’ESCLUSIONE
O LIMITAZIONE DI DANNI ACCIDENTALI O CONSEQUENZIALI O LIMITAZIONI
ALLA DURATA DI UNA GARANZIA IMPLICITA, QUINDI LE SUDDETTE LIMITAZIONI
O ESCLUSIONI POTREBBERO NON APPLICARSI A TUTTI GLI ACQUIRENTI.
LA PRESENTE GARANZIA SANCISCE DIRITTI LEGALI SPECIFICI; ALTRI DIRITTI
POTREBBERO ESSERE SANCITI DALLE NORMATIVE DEI VARI STATI O PROVINCE.
