At BCA, we believe that backcountry safety starts with good planning and clear communication. While gear like the BC Link Mini and other BCA safety products are essential, they are only part of the equation. Education is equally important, especially regarding terrain selection, avalanche safety, and first aid.

Charging battery Connect the radio to a power outlet using the included cable and a USB power adapter. Insert the cable into the radio’s charging port until you hear a “click”. A full recharge can take up to six hours. The light next to the USB port will be read when the radio is charging.
