We’re delighted that you have chosen to purchase a PIEPS search device for

avalanche victims. The Pieps Freeride is a standards-compliant, fully digital single

antenna avalanche transceiver forming part of the PIEPS safety system (shovel,

transponder, avalanche transceiver). Used in combination with the PIEPS iProbe

electronic transponder, the Pieps Freeride offers an efcient solution for cases of

multiple burial.

IMPORTANT! The PIEPS-FREERIDE device cannot protect you from avalanches. A

thorough understanding of the topic of avalanche prevention is just as indispensable

as regular practice of victim search in accident situations. The procedures and

advice given below relate exclusively to the special case of searching using PIEPS

FREERIDE victim search devices. The fundamental rules for the procedure in the

event of an accident, in line with relevant technical publications and material from

avalanche training courses, must be complied with.
