ORTOVOX avalanche transceivers are designed to assist in self-rescue if you are buried in an avalanche! Travelling in avalanche terrain is potentially hazardous and should only be undertaken by experienced parties. Effective use of a transceiver requires proper training and continuous practice. Always wear your transceiver next to your body under outer clothing. ORTOVOX strongly advises that you carefully read the owners manual included with this transceiver. Always take a shovel and a probe when traveling in avalanche terrain and never travel alone. Prior to travelling in avalanche terrain, ensure that all transceivers are functioning properly and that the batteries are in good working order.
