Like all transceivers, the Barryvox®contains shock sensitive
ferrite antennas. Therefore, you should handle it with utmost
care!
Store the device and the carrying system in a dry spot that is
protected from extreme cold or heat and direct sunshine.
Always check the result of the self- and battery test, pay atten-
tion to alert messages and carry out the group check.
It is your responsibility to frequently check your Barryvox® for
mechanical damage of the casing, proper function of the main
switch, battery compartment cover as well as cleanliness and
mechanical integrity of the battery contacts.
To ensure the proper performance of the transceiver, it is
highly recommended that you send your device to an official
Barryvox®service center once every three years for a func-
tional test. The recommended date of the next check can be
viewed under «Maintenance» in the shut down sequence of
the device. (see chapter «Periodic Checks» of the Barryvox®
Extended Reference Manual).
Interferences
Always avoid having other electronic devices (e.g. mobile
phones, radios, headlamps, cameras), metal objects (pocket
knives, magnetic buttons), or other transceivers close to (20
cm in SEND; 50 cm in SEARCH) your running avalanche
transceiver.
You should not wear clothing with magnetic buttons! Users of
pacemakers are advised to carry the device in a secure pants
pocket. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions with regard to
the impact on pacemakers.
When searching, hold the device at a minimum of 50cm
away from these objects and turn off any electronic
devices, if possible. It is highly recommended to turn OFF
mobile phones!

Batteries
Only use alkaline (LR03/AAA) batteries of the same type.
Always insert 3 new batteries of the same type. In case these
batteries need to be removed, the same 3 batteries or 3 new
batteries must be reinserted. Never use rechargeable batteries
and always replace all the batteries at the same time.
Make sure the lid is properly closed and that the device and the
batteries stay dry
Use a fingernail or the leash clip to slide battery door to the left,
and it will swing open.

Periodically inspect the battery compartment. Clean or dry it, if
needed, since moisture can cause corrosion.
Avoid touching the contacts with your hands, use a clean cloth.
A reliable power supply is crucial for safe operation.
When storing or not using the transceiver for an extended
period of time (summer, travelling,
shipping), remove alkaline batteries and leave the battery
compartment
open. The warranty becomes void if batteries have leaked!

The BarryMount should be put on over your innermost layer of
clothing prior to beginning the trip (see illustration) and must be
worn on your body for the duration of the trip. The transceiver

Simple Group Check

device from OFF to SEND and presses the button within
the first seconds.

The test is successful if you can clearly hear beep sounds from each participant‘s transceiver
within the range indicated on the display.
The members of the party must be spread out appropriately to avoid mutual interference.
The indicated test distance must not be shortened, or the group check becomes very unreliable.
Once all the participant‘s devices are tested, the group check is concluded. The group leader’s
transceiver must be switched to the SEND mode.
If no tone is heard within the indicated range, the device must not be used.
Further procedure: 1. Check if the device is switched to SEND.
2. Replace the batteries.
3. Have the device checked by the manufacturer.
Chapter «Maintenance and Repair» in the Barryvox®Extended Reference Guide).
If your Barryvox®detects that the transmit frequency of the tested device is out of tolerance, a
warning message will be shown. In this case, repeat the test with 5m distance between the par-
ticipants to identify the defective transmitter. Such devices must be checked by the manufacturer.

The SEND mode is the normal operating mode outdoors or in
all other situations in which there is a risk of avalanches.
Each time the SEND mode is activated, this is
confirmed by an ascending triple beep sound.
Each individual signal pulse is tested. If the
test is successful, this is confirmed by a blink
of the red SEND-Control LED.
If the device detects that the SEND function
is compromised, the red SEND-Control LED
stops flashing and screen shows an alert
message.
To save battery power, the LCD screen is automatically deac-
tivated in the SEND mode, but can be activated any time by
pressing any button.

Signal Search
BarryTip: Move swiftly.
Emergency plan, search strategies and
search strip widths: please see back
side of device.
Search avalanche surface systemati-
cally.
During signal search, the rescuer has
their visual focus on the surface of the
debris in order to look for visual clues
on the snow surface. The first signal
is indicated by a distinct double beep
sound.
Coarse Search
BarryTip: Move swiftly, move in the
direction of the arrow.
Hold the transceiver with the extended
arm horizontally in front of you.
If the distance increases, then you are
moving away from the victim. Continue
the search in the opposite direction.
Distance below 10
BarryTip: Reduce search speed,
precisely follow the arrow.

Be aware that electronic devices including mobile phones used

BarryTip: Follow the arrow! Step
slowly forward and backwards until
you have found the point of lowest
distance indication. Hold the device
at knee height.
Pinpointing
BarryTip: Place a visual indicator at
the point where you have found the
lowest distance indication. The visu-
al reference is important to probe in
a systematic pattern.
If the buried subject is hit with the
probe, leave the probe in the snow.
Mark the buried subject as «found» by pushing the
button after you have successfully located it witha probe
strike!
Multiple Burials
The marking feature allows to continue
the search for further buried subjects
by marking the previously located ones
as found. Excavate the buried subjects
already found while the search continues,
unless the burial depth is particularly deep. (See chapter «Mul-
tiple Burials» in the Barryvox®Extended Reference Guide).
Automatic Revert to SEND
For the safety of the rescuers, the device automatically switch-
es into SEND mode after 4 minutes without user interaction or
motion.

After 4 seconds the device automatically
switches into SEND mode.

The first rescuer positions him/herself directly at the probe. All
additional rescuers position themselves one shovel length from
each other in the direction of snow removal, thus typically in
the fall line.
The rescuer at the tip of the conveyor belt digs directly follow-
ing the probe to the buried subject, thus avoiding any chance
to miss it
BarryTip: in hard snow, cut blocks with the shovel. In case
of multiple burials, switch off the transceiver of the buried
subject as soon as possible.
