Avalanche Awareness
This is a basic introduction to avalanche safety and awareness.
We encourage you to read this manual thoroughly. On our website,
you will also nd a list of avalanche instructors. We strongly suggest
taking an avalanche course in your area before venturing into the
backcountry.
Before leaving, call your local avalanche forecast center and determine
the danger 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 group communication devices, such
as 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, clis, etc.)?
No avalanche transceiver can help save lives without a fully trained user.
Practice frequently with your Tracker3 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.
Make sure all rescue equipment is functioning properly before venturing
into the backcountry. Perform a transceiver trailhead test every time
you use your Tracker3. Check that all transceivers transmit and receive
properly—and that all receive a signal at a minimum distance of 20 meters
(65 feet).
Do not place cellular phones, communication radios, GPS devices, digital
cameras, or any other electronic equipment within 50 cm (20 inches) of
Tracker3 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 Tracker3 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
Tracker3 effectively. To increase your efficiency, refer to the Advanced
Tracker3 Manual on our website: www.backcountryaccess.com.
Here you will also find important resources for obtaining avalanche
education and updates on regional avalanche conditions.

Familiarization
Avalanche Awareness
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.
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 condent in its stability.
• Not speaking out or communicating concerns about a path
or slope, fearing conict.
• Being overcondent 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.
• Conrm 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 Tracker3, featuring Tracker2’s famous
ease-of-use in a smaller, lighter package.
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, and strategic shoveling techniques, please visit
www.backcountryaccess.com/education.
Transmit mode: From the ‘O’ position, pull the sliding lock nin the
direction of the arrow and turn the dial switch j on top of Tracker3 to
the transmit (“TR”) position (see Figure C).
Figure C
Top view of
Tracker3.
The battery life is then shown in the distance/battery power display k
in Figure A.
After displaying battery power, Tracker3 ashes “TR” and enters transmit
mode. The transmit light l ashes with every transmit pulse.
This light will not ash 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 mbefore
reaching 40 percent.
When in transmit mode, the Tracker3 cannot be turned to o or search
without pulling back the sliding lock.
Search mode: Pull the sliding lock nand rotate the dial
switch to the search (“SE”) position. In search mode, the
display will periodically ash “SE” until a signal is detected.
Upon detecting a transmitting signal, Tracker3 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 ash “TR” for
several seconds before it begins to transmit.

ENGLISH
98
Familiarization
After 30 minutes in search mode, Tracker3 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 Tracker3 is still on.
Auto Revert Mode: Auto revert mode will make your
Tracker3 automatically revert to TR (transmit) mode if
the device does not move for one minute–or if there is
movement, but the searcher remains in search mode for
more than ve minutes. An alarm will sound 30 seconds
before the unit returns to transmit mode. This can be
avoided by pressing the Options button or moving the mode
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.
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.
Downloading Tracker3 software: Using BCA software, you can update
the Tracker3’s programming. Currently this is only possible with a PC (not
Mac). To update:
1. Go to www.backcountryaccess.com/downloads;
2. Download BCAUpgrader program;
3. Install and start the program;
4. Connect the Tracker3 to your computer with a standard USB cable;
5. Follow the BCAUpgrader instructions.
Low battery warning: 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.
Familiarization
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
rst transmitter. Once the rst victim has been located and
your ne search is complete, you are ready to use Signal
Suppression.
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 ash alternately while in SS mode.
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 Tracker3 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 ashing and
the Tracker3 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 ne search when you’re getting close to the victim.
Big Picture mode is activated by holding down the Options button
until “BP” ashes in the display. You must continue to hold down the
Options button to stay in BP mode. Once the mode button is released,
the Tracker3 will automatically return to search mode and isolate the
strongest signal.

Searching
Tracker3 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 Tracker3 at least 20” (50 cm) away from
electrical equipment, including cell phones and video cameras.
Turn all electrical equipment o if possible.
The search process includes four phases: the signal search, the coarse
search, the ne search, and the pinpointing/probing phase (See Figure E).

Signal Search: The signal search refers to the process of establishing a
search pattern and looking for a signal. The search pattern will be dened
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 dened, the signal
search will follow a direct path along the fall line (up or down) from this point.
Adjustment/Fitting
Tracker3 can be worn with or without its harness. When used with a
harness, Tracker3 should be worn underneath your outer garments,
as shown in Figure D.
Shoulder Strap
Waist Attachment Buckle
Waist Strap Lanyard
Lanyard Attachment Loop
Figure D
Distance/directional display should be against your body and transmit light
should be exposed and visible.
To search, remove Tracker3 from its pouch, but keep the harness on and
lanyard attached. If using without a harness, keep Tracker3 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 zipper or
other solid xture. If the lanyard is removed from harness or clothing for
searching, keep it attached to your wrist with the loop provided.
Power Supply
Tracker3 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 Tracker3 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.
Trailhead Test
To ensure proper transmit and search functions, always perform a
trailhead test before starting your tour. One person should walk 20 meters
away and make sure his or her signal is detected by the others. Then the
rest of the group switches to transmit mode and walks toward the leader,
who should conrm their signals can each be detected from 20 meters
away. The leader should always switch back to transmit mode after the
test is completed.

Signal search path with multiple searchers
(slide wider than 40 meters).
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.
Prior to the signal search, be sure that all transceivers are turned to search
mode. Rotate Tracker3 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 ash in the distance
indicator. Once a signal is detected consistently, mark this spot and begin
the coarse search.
Slowly rotate the Tracker horizontally and
vertically in your hand, but move rapidly
during the signal search. Do not abandon
your search path until you have captured
a strong, steady signal. Ignore irregular
signals, which can sometimes be caused
by electrical interference.
Figure G
Coarse Search: The coarse search is the portion of the search from where
you have detected a steady signal to where you are close to the victim.
Once the signal is consistently detected, rotate Tracker3 slowly on a
horizontal plane until the center direction light pis blinking.
Tracker3 is now pointed in the direction of the strongest signal. The four
lights on either side of center tell you which way to rotate Tracker3 to
engage the center light. The distance indicator ktells 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 Tracker3 is pointing. If you are stationary, but the distance
is signicantly changing, you are probably detecting the signal of another
rescuer. Make sure all rescuers are in search mode before continuing.
You may nd that, while following the directional lights, your route follows
an arc. This is because Tracker3 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 straight-
line distance from you to the victim.

Operating InstructionsOperating Instructions
Fine Search: The ne
search is the nal part of
the transceiver search,
which is performed on
foot with the transceiver
positioned at or near
the snow surface. The
objective of the ne
search is to locate where
the signal is strongest
(distance reading is
lowest) and to reduce
the area to be probed.
Move Tracker3 slowly
in a straight line along
the surface of the snow
during the nal three
meters of the ne search.
The directional lights do
not illuminate in the nal
two meters, so only pay
attention to the distance
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 conrmed the
victim’s location, leave the probe in the snow.

Shoveling
Shoveling is dicult 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.
1.5 x

Figure J
Multiple Burials
When more than one transmitting victim is within the receiving range
of Tracker3, the multiple burial icon qwill 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 Tracker3 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 signicantly closer to one signal than the other, Tracker3
will “lock” onto that signal and mask out the others. Once this signal
is isolated, Tracker3 will behave very similar to how it does in a single
transceiver search. Once you have located and excavated the rst victim,
turn his or her transceiver o 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 o the rst victim’s transceiver—and you have
enough people to begin shoveling—then we recommend isolating the
next signal using Signal Suppression.

no longer illuminate at
less than two meters.
Do not rotate the
transceiver during
this process, as it can
change the distance
readings.

Operating Instructions
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 o the rst victim’s
transceiver, when the victims are in close proximity (≤10 m) to each other,
or if there are three or more victims.
The following icons help to determine how many buried victims are within
range of the rescuer and whether they are in close proximity to each other:
More than
one signal
within range.
Two victims both
within six meters
of the searcher.
More than
two signals
within range.
More than two sig-
nals within range
and at least two
within six meters.
If it’s not possible to turn o a victim’s transceiver, use Signal Suppression
to nd 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 ash back and forth. Follow the distance and
direction to the next victim. Remember that the rst victim’s signal will be
suppressed for one minute, at which time the icons in the multiple burial
indicator will stop ashing. 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 found in our Tracker3 Advanced Manual at
www.backcountryaccess.com.
Operating Instructions
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 eciency
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, Tracker3 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), Tracker3 will bring you back to victim
#1. If this is the case, use Big Picture mode to nd the general direction to
the third signal. After moving closer to the third signal, release the Options
button and Tracker3 will automatically isolate that third signal.
Figure K
Tracker3 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.
