DEAR FELLOW MOUNTAINEER / SKIER! 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).
(=recommended and safest option). There is also the option to carry the PIEPS Freeride in a securely fastenable trouser pocket without a protective case, though here it is important to fix the safety line to the clothing in an appropriate way so as to rule out losing the avalanche transceiver.

How many victims buried? Are there several companions ready to engage in rescue? The most experienced person takes over assignment and management – see Pieps DVD “What to do in the event of a snowboard accident” (2) Call emergency services Dial 140 or 112, if this is possible without losing time.

Given that every standards-compliant avalanche transceiver transmits only around once per second, turn your Pieps Freeride slowly in all directions (in three dimensions). The recommended search strip width for the Pieps Freeride is 30m.

At an indicated distance of 2m at the latest, carry your Pieps Freereide in search mode right on the surface of the snow. The dynamically responsive audio output (the nearer you get, the faster it sounds) aids with locating the point.
