Dear winter sports enthusiast,DSPDSPCongratulations on having purchased a PIEPS avalanche rescue beacon !100,000 skiers world-wide testify to the quality of this brand, which has beenon the market for nearly 30 years. During this time, PIEPS beacons haveundergone constant improvement. The device you have chosen is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment. Enhanced by the latest technology (= signalprocessing with a igital ignal rocessor) and a triple-antenna system, it notonly offers an exceptional range but also greatly simplifies the rescueprocedure, even in case of multiple victims.IMPORTANT: Even the PIEPS-DSP beacon cannot protect you againstavalanches. A close study of avalanche prevention techniques is equallyessential, as is regular practising for the eventuality of an avalancherescue.
Carrying harnessThe PIEPS DSP can be worn directly on your person using the suppliedcarrying system. Pass the snap hook of the safety cord through the carrypouch and attach it to the loop on the rear of the pouch (=safest option).Alternatively, the PIEPS DSP can be attached to the belt of your ski trousers viathe belt loop, or can be carried in your trouser pocket with or without theprotective pouch. Always make sure, however, that the safety cord is suitablyattached to an eyelet on your clothing to avoid losing the detector.IMPORTANT: The PIEPS DSP should be worn as close as possible to thebody, and under as many layers of clothing as possible !

Battery / switching on / SEND modeIMPORTANT: Only use battery type LR03/AAA and always replace all 3batteries with new ones of the same type. Never use rechargeablebatteries and always change all batteries at the same time!Depress the main switch lock and push the main switch to the “SEND“ position.In this mode, the PIEPS DSP will carry out a self-test lasting approx. 5 seconds.You will then see the send symbol and the remaining % battery voltage in thedisplay. The LED will also flash synchronously with the transmitter bit timing.In the event of a device error, a 5-second warning tone sounds. This means thedevice is not fit for operation. In this case, contact our customer servicedepartment.When in the open, make sure the “SEND” mode is selected throughout. ThePIEPS DSP will then transmit continuously any signal it picks up from otherdetectors.IMPORTANT: When switched on, a complex self-testing is done by thebeacon itself, nevertheless a LVS-check stronlgy recommended inpreperation to each tour !The battery compartment is located at the rear of the housing. The safety screwconnection can be easily opened and closed using a coin.

Beacon with OPTION PACKBy pressing the OPTION switch three times, you can switch from the SEND mode tothe OPTION mode. This enables you to switch between the relevant functions:Temperature displayCompassBearing compass (direction-finding compass with arrow display)AltimeterBy holding down the OPTION key (min. 3 seconds), you can switch back to the SENDmode. In the OPTION mode, the device does not transmit any signals, and thereforeswitches back to the SEND mode automatically after two minutes. If the battery is low,it switches back after just 30 seconds.!!!Press SCAN to switch between °C and °F.When new batteries are inserted, the compass has to undergo an internal calibration. This is alsonecessary if the device detects strong temperature variations. To start the calibration, press SCAN(”CAL” flashes). Then rotate the device a full 360°. Finally, press OPTION.You can change the bearing direction with SCAN. Select the flashing bearing by pressing MARK (+)and SCAN (-). To exit, press OPTION.!You can adapt the altimeter reading to the prevailing air pressure by pressing SCAN. Adjust thedisplayed altitude with MARK (+) and SCAN (-). To set the adjustment to zero, press MARK andSCAN simultaneously. To exit, press OPTION.IMPORTANT: Make sure the device stays connected to the harness via thesafety cord at all times !

EMERGENCY / SEARCH modeIn case of an emergency, the key thing to remember is:KEEP CALM, OBSERVE, RAISE THE ALARMObserve the course of the avalanche and make an exact mental note of where thevictimwas hit by the avalanche (point of impact)was last seen (point of disappearance)The extension of these points indicates the flow direction of the avalanche !The primary search area is to the left and right of this. When the avalanche stops, themost experienced member of the group takes control of the search, issuinginstructions from the edge of the avalanche so that another person can mark theabove points (with sticks, etc.).Depress the main switch lock and push the main switch to the SEARCH position. Youcan now begin the PRIMARY SEARCH, in which the device will pick up any signalsfrom victims within its range. Now scan the primary search area according to the planon the left until a steady signal is reported.!!IMPORTANT: All participants (including observers) must switch their beaconsto receiving (SEARCH) mode. Always make sure there are no electronic devices(e.g. mobiles, radios,) or solid metal items in the direct vicinity of the search.
SEARCH mode / rough searchAs soon as the PIEPS DSP picks up signals, the approximate distance and directionappear in the display. The number of victims within the range of the device isrepresented by matchstick men.Using the arrow and distance reading, follow the strongest of the received signalsalong the field lines. Move in the direction indicated by the PIEPS DSP:The distance reading should become progressively smaller. If it gets larger, switch thesearch direction by 180°, i.e. turn round and follow the opposite direction.Number of burials: one two three four or moreturn LEFT move STRAIGHT AHEAD turn RIGHTIMPORTANT: When working in the SEARCH mode, remain calm andconcentrated, and avoid hasty movements !

SEARCH mode / close searchOnce you have approached the victim quickly with the rough search, the PIEPS DSPreally comes into its own thanks to its advanced triple-antenna system.When you are closer than 3 m to the victim, you can start locating the position point bypoint. To avoid confusion, the direction display is now suppressed (point 1). Continuemoving in the same direction and follow the plan on the left.After a certain point, the distance reading will start to increase again (point 2). Fromthis point, move sideways (90°) without turning your body or the device. If the valueincreases unexpectedly, move in the opposite direction (point 3).Along this theoreticalaxis, you will find the minimum point of the distance reading (point 4). Mark this point inthe snow and continue at a right angle from here (90°) as already described.You have now detected the absolute minimum point (point 5) and located the victim.IMPORTANT: Throughout this procedure, keep the device horizontal in thesame position without rotating it, and keep it as close as possible to the surfaceof the snow !

SEARCH mode / multiple searchhighlightThe optimised multiple search, the absolute of the PIEPS DSP, is based ona separation of signals via the digital signal processor (DSP).If there are multiple victims, this is clearly indicated by the number of matchstick men.By default, the PIEPS DSP will automatically search for the strongest signal.Once the position of the first victim has been located, press the MARK key for approx.3 seconds without moving away from this point.This signal is now suppressed and the device will automatically search for the secondstrongest signal. In unfavourable circumstances (temporary signal interference), youmay have to repeat this procedure several times. Once a signal has been successfullysuppressed, an outline appears around the matchstick man.Now continue the search as described above and repeat the procedures until alltransmitters are located.IMPORTANT: In case of multiple detections involving older analogue devices,faults may at worst occur which impair the efficiency of the digital signalseparation. In such cases, you may find for a short time that more signals aredisplayed than actually exist.

SEARCH mode / SCAN functionAnother highly useful feature of the PIEPS DSP is the SCAN function.Press the SCAN key in the SEARCH mode and the device will begin scanning theentire receiving range. During the scan, stand still and hold the device steady.This will give you an overview of all the victims' devices within the detectable range,classified according to three groups:Reading 1: within a distance of approx. 5mAll information from previously suppressed signals is now reset and you can start thesuppression again (MARK).!!IMPORTANT: Once you have located all victims, move away from their locationsin a star shape and use the SCAN function to check the scenario again. That wayyou can make sure you haven't missed any other victims.!Reading 2: within a distance of approx. 20mReading 3: within a distance of approx. 50m
