Owner`s manual

Disclaimer:
No avalanche beacon can save lives without a fully trained
user. Practice frequently with your Tracker 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
beacon, always carry a probe and shovel—and always travel
with a partner.
Make sure all rescue equipment is functioning properly before
venturing into the backcountry. Perform a beacon trailhead test
every time you use your Tracker. Check that all transceivers transmit
and receive properly—and that all receive a signal at a minimum
distance of ten meters, the international standard for effective range.
Do not place cellular phones, communication radios, or any other
electronic equipment within 12" (30 cm) of the Tracker DTS while
performing a transceiver search. In receive mode, irregular readings
and decreased range 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 the
Tracker DTS at least 1" (2.5cm) from other electronic equipment.
Use alkaline batteries only. Do not use rechargeable, lithium,
Oxyride, PowerPix, or any other non-alkaline battery.
This owner’s manual covers the basic techniques required
to use the Tracker DTS effectively. To increase your efficiency, order
our training DVD's and refer to the advanced techniques described
on 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 periodic technical updates,
please return the enclosed warranty registration card.
